Aromatherapy Massage Northamptonshire

Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils to promote healing and a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

Extracts from plants and trees have been used for their medicinal properties in health care for centuries. In professional aromatherapy, massage is utilised as an effective way of introducing carefully selected essential oils into your body via the skin. Massage also stimulates the flow of blood and the lymphatic system, providing a natural method of eliminating toxins whilst easing aching muscles and creating a deep sense of relaxation. Each essential oil has its own properties unique to the plant from which it came. A skilled aromatherapist understands the character of a wide range of plants allowing them to combine the best oils for each patient. This individual blending of oils makes aromatherapy an ideal therapy to help in the treatment of many conditions affecting the mind, body and emotions.

Hectic life styles, gym memberships, poor posture and enthusiastic participation in sporting events take their toll on our bodies. Whilst regular exercise is generally good for our health, over time it can take its toll on our muscles, legs and back, all too frequently leading to injuries.Sports massage is a powerful and effective way to treat soft tissue injuries. The massage improves circulation of the blood and lymphatic systems. This speeds up the rate at which waste products, such as lactic acid are dispersed from our bodies, relieving muscle fatigue. At the same time, the circulation of nutrients needed by muscle cells for growth and repair is enhanced. Regular massage can identify potential problems before they fully develop, while training advice can be given to heighten your own awareness of posture and biomechanics whilst exercising, to help prevent future injuries.
