Massage Therapies

Remedial Massage is a therapeutic, deep tissue massage used to holistically treat specific soft-tissue dysfunction and pain. Our muscles work by contracting and lengthening, and generally when we feel pain or stiffness its because the effected muscles are constantly shortened or contracting making it difficult for us to get the full range of movement we would normally expect. During a Remedial Massage treatment, the therapist aims to establish the underlying cause of the pain or decreased range of motion.

Aromatherapy Massage adds a whole new dimension to your massage treatment by invigorating your olfactory (smell) system, which in turn improves general mood and relaxes or energises you depending on the blend of oils you choose. Aromatherapy can be added to a relaxing or remedial massage when you book with Vitalchi.

A relaxation massage should reduce stress and tension in the muscles as well as on an emotional level. You will leave feeling renewed, relaxed and refreshed.
