The original deep tissue massage, Tui Na (pronounced twee nah) is both deeply relaxing and invigorating, and may be seen as the Chinese equivalent to physiotherapy. This massage feels unlike most western style massages as the techniques and movements have been evolved to send energy moving through your body, freeing up deep and long-held tension in the muscles and joints, relieving pain and enhancing your mood. Tui Na massage has evolved over 5000 years, and is used in China alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine.

read moreWhat is Bi-Aura? This therapy uses sweeping movements around the client's body, to clear and balance energy flow, rather like having a massage without direct physical contact. Attention is paid to balancing the seven main energy centres of the body, known as chakras. Bi-aura is also known as Bio-energy Healing, Bio-energy Therapy, or just Energy Healing. It has its roots in both Indian and Chinese cultures, and was brought to the UK by the Bi-Aura Foundation. At the first session, the therapist will discuss with you your reasons for seeking the therapy, and any particular issues you would like help with.

While you relax on a couch, with a blanket if desired, you will receive a deeply relaxing foot or hand massage. Chinese acupressure points and other specific areas on the feet or hands are worked on, which correspond to the organs, glands and other parts of the body. This form of reflexology is particularly helpful for relieving hormonal imbalance, anxiety and stress, for both women and men. Weekly sessions are recommended for six weeks to address long-standing issues, though a single session is usually deeply relaxing.

During oil massage, the client relaxes on a massage couch, with towels provided to ensure comfort and warmth. Massaging directly onto the skin can feel particularly nurturing, providing the essential experience of touch which many of us lack in our daily life. Therapeutic massage is normally carried out on the back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs, face, head, hands and feet, although each client's individual needs are taken into account and the massage may be varied to suit your particular wishes.
