Aromatherapy and Relaxation Massage

Quite often your therapist will incorporate several different modalities in the one session and there are few modalities that go together as well as Aromatherapy and Relaxation Massage.

What is it?

Aromatherapy finds it roots from throughout the world starting roughly 6000 years ago. The basics behind it is that various essential oils are burned, causing a rapid infusion into your blood stream through your breath. The various scents then cause your body to react according to the oils used, and your own experiences with the scent. Think on this for a moment and it makes perfect sense, clearly there are offensive smells that make you tense, whilst there are some scents that bring you back to that lovely and relaxing holiday. Relaxation Massage is just that, a massage technique that makes the body more relaxed and stimulates increased circulation throughout your body. Your therapist will make long strokes along your muscles in a direction that follows the blood flow back to your heart.

What will it do for me?

As both modalities serve to relax and heal your body, you should walk away from a therapy session feeling calm, relaxed, and with a general sense of ease. You may also walk away from the massage feeling completely re-invigorated, as some of the oils used are meant to stimulate your body to heal itself. These styles are ideal for those in high stress jobs, those needing to focus on the important things in life, or those who simply enjoy the incredible calmness that comes over you when in a totally relaxed state.

Note: You may walk away with the sense that your hour long session only lasted 10 – 15 minutes. Fear not, it is likely because you fell asleep. Though sleep is not the ultimate goal of these modalities, it is sometimes a by product of you becoming so relaxed. Don’t worry, your therapist has continued the massage throughout your slumber.
