Complementary therapies

What Complementary Therapy Treatments are available?

• Aromatherapy icon plus

  is a complementary therapy that uses concentrated oils made from flowers, fruit, seeds, leaves, roots or bark. Your therapist will discuss the types of oils they can use directly with you.  The oils work by absorbing through the skin to sooth and refresh, and by stimulating the sense of smell to calm and offset nausea or anxiety.

• Reflexology icon plus

  is a therapy based on the stimulation of different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears which correspond with different areas of the body. This can be tailored to manage factors affecting your well-being and can be delivered on the treatment suites to calm and ease side-effects. 

• Guided hand reflexology icon plus

  works on the same principles of reflexology. A coloured hand chart and script can be provided and self-hand-reflexology techniques taught so they can be continued at home to provide calming and relaxation.

• Indian head massage icon plus

  involves manipulation and gentle kneading of the soft tissues and muscles of the shoulders, upper arms, neck and head. Releasing tension can alleviate neck and shoulder discomfort and ease headaches. 

• Massage therapy icon plus

  involves manipulation of soft tissues by kneading, tapping or applying pressure on areas of your body. This can lift mood, improve relaxation and sleep, reduce headaches and control pain.

• Reiki icon plus

  is a practice of energy work used to rebalance the body, mind and spirit. Reiki can be given as a hands on treatment by placing the hands on or over the body in a sequence of positions with the aim of encouraging relaxation and a feeling of wellbeing.
