Massage

To ensure balance, well being and performance in these days of busy schedules and pressure of work life balance, having a regular massage is no longer a ‘nice to have’, but a necessity!

Figures from the NHS suggest that well over 80% of illness is related to tension in the body! A staggering figure when you consider how easy it is to relax the body and mind with a little conscious effort.

To help you prioritise your wellbeing and make that conscious effort we offer a range of massage and other therapeutic treatments. As with all our work, we take a holistic approach that treats your mind and body as the complete and interconnected system that it is.

Massage is probably the oldest therapy known to man, and has been practised in the Far and the Middle East for at least 5000 years. At Amovita we approach massage in a professional and holistic way recognising its effectiveness at treating a wide range of clinical, physical and emotional ailments. Elizabeth is a skilled and experience massage practitioner, trained in various forms and approaches giving you freedom and flexibility and peace of mind that you are in safe and competent hands. Elizabeth does not simply follow a set routine in any of her treatments but uses her intuition and professional acuity to adapt to suit your requirements.  Elizabeth is fully qualified and fully insured to practice massage and offer her range of complementary therapies.

Booking treatments.

60, 90 or 120 minute treatments are available (at a cost of £45, £65 and £80 respectively).

To help you consider what type of treatment you would like it might be helpful to choose from any combination of:

  • Full body (feet, legs, back, stomach, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, head and face),
  • Back
  • Hands and Feet

  • Indian Head Massage (Champissage)

If you have a specific injury or muscular compaint then we can tailor a treatment to suit. If you would like Reiki healing in addition to your massage please ask and this can be incorporated into your treatment. Elizabeth can also incorporate sound and crystals to your treatment should you wish, just ask at consultation.

Contraindications
Massage and particularly Indian Head Massage have very powerful effects on our body and therefore needs to be used safely to prevent injury or upsetting our natural balance.

There are some conditions that make it unwise to receive massage without consultation with your GP even from a fully qualified professional. If you are in any doubt at all as to your suitability for treatment then please consult your GP prior to treatment as we do not accept liability if you do not disclose any condition that may affect your suitability.

You should avoid having a massage if any of the following apply to you:

  • If you are suffering from or recently recovered from a viral infection / cold or fever
  • Extreme high or low blood pressure
  • Thrombosis anywhere in the body
  • Cuts and abrasion in the area to be massaged
  • Pregnancy (first trimester)

Reiki is a gentle, safe and suitable alternative treatment, if any of the above apply.
