Ki is a Japanese word simply meaning air, gas, steam, vapour or spirit. When applied to people, ki is the difference between life and death. It is that element that makes us alive. All living things have ki to a lesser or greater extent and the amount of ki you have at birth will be the same throughout life. Ki varies in strength between people. For some it's stronger and with others it's weaker. But the qualities of ki are what make you who you are. Some can have ki that is active and positive and others may have ki that's passive and tranquil, therefore ki is as variable as different personalities.
Ki is seen as the basis of our health. Some people are naturally healthier than others, but that doesn't mean they have more or less ki, because it's about the vitality and satisfaction of life. Ki health philosophy is therefore defined as living a vigorous, fulfilled and appreciative life. To access our ki we need to become sensitised to it and then train it to become stronger.
It depends on what sort of massage you want. If it’s for a particular ache or pain then a course of 5 or more treatments is advisable. If you have a lot of stress, then a regular massage on a weekly or fortnightly basis may be more appropriate. Or you may just want to have a bit of “me time” every so often. Remember discounts apply to block bookings.
Before your treatment we need to take some details to ensure there is no reason why you can’t receive a massage, or to discover if the massage needs to be adapted to your needs. All personal details are taken in the strictest confidence and will be stored appropriately. At the end of the consultation you will be asked to sign the consultation form on the understanding that the details are correct and you consent to receiving a massage.
After the pre-massage consultation the therapist will leave you in private to undress in preparation for you massage. There is no need to remove underwear, although bras need to be unfastened to give access to your back. Once undressed, you can lie on the massage couch with the towels provided covering you. The therapist will only uncover the area being massaged. We will ensure that your dignity and privacy are protected at all times during the massage treatment.
If you are receiving Remedial Massage then you will need to wear T shirt and shorts for most treatments.
Not at all.
Some clients prefer to be massaged in silence, others like to listen to some background music, and some like to chat. It’s your massage and it’s tailored to your needs and wishes.
In general, no.
Massage is the manipulation of the body’s soft tissue which brings about many benefits, causing relaxation and increasing blood flow to the area being massaged. Tense and stressed muscles will have tension nodules, also known as “knots”, which will be dispersed by massage. Some tension nodules require firm pressure to break down and therefore may cause some discomfort.
Currently we use grape seed, sweet almond or wheatgerm carrier oils. The choice of oil will be based on the client’s wishes and needs.
If you’re a local business then we would be pleased to let our clients know about your products in return for placing our banner on your website. If you don’t have a website, it’s no problem, we can still display your details for a small fee.
