There are many different massage styles to suit different need and not all massages are suitable for everyone. Below is a little explanation of the massage treatments offered at Hopewood Health Retreat, to help you decide which is best for you.
Reflexology is primarily done on the feet and is a great massage for those who love a foot massage whilst also providing an insight into what else may be happening with the body.
Seaweed/mud wrap and massage is great for weight loss and aches and pains. The seaweed and mineral mud work to detox the muscles and body before you are indulged with a massage.
Hot Stone Massage works with volcanic stones. These warm stones are then massaged into the belly of tired sore aching muscles providing the body with a deeper form of relaxation.
Reiki is a Japanese technique of energetic healing for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by the "placing of hands" on the 12 major energy centres on the body. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. This is not a typical massage. Practitioners will place their hands on the recipient in various positions to transfer energy, sometimes using a non-touch technique.
Aromatherapy is an indulgent full body massage uses essential oils that are tailored to your individual needs.
Lymphatic Drainage massage is a very light touch that works on the lymph system to help detox the body. It is great for people who are tired, exhausted, trying to lose weight or anyone who would like to feel better.
Relaxation Massage is all about pure relaxation and is a great start to any stay.
Musclease massage works deeper into the muscles to help with any problems and is great for acute pain.
Shiatsu is a pressure point massage on the body and is fantastic for acute or immediate pain. It is done with clothes on and most clients feel an immediate difference. Pressure is applied to meridians to stimulate the flow of energy. It increases the flow of the nervous and circulatory systems; increases flexibility and immunity; helps to alleviate insomnia; aids digestion and excretion of body wastes and toxins. Best done on mattress on floor but can be done on massage table.
