Tranquil Retreat Massage Therapy.

My name is Rebecca Jane. I am a fully insured/trained massage therapist who also specialises in Hydrotherm massage. The basis of massage is touch combined with friendliness, warmth, empathy and security, massage therapy is used to help manage a health condition or enhance your wellness.  It is a great way of attaining and maintaining good health, healing aching muscles, insomnia, headaches, tension and stress/anxiety.

 Massage should not be used in place of conventional medical care. Always consult a GP or other health professional for medical attention and advice.

Swedish Massage

The Swedish massage is a classic treatment which represents the western standard for massage. The various Swedish massage techniques are designed to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles and make you feel more relaxed. Besides the calming benefits, Swedish massage is thought to be good for:

  • reducing emotional and physical stress.

  • easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins

  • improving circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood

  • helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple

​

Hydrotherm Massage

A truly innovative concept that allows you to receive specialist therapy treatment whilst you lie on two soothing warm water filled cushions that support and comfort the entire body that requires the use of flowing, specialist moves adapted specifically for the Hydrotherm. Your body weight provides the pressure required to achieve a relaxing and also alternatively, deeper massage as you’re the hands glide between yourself and the cushions. Whilst you feel weightless. The whole experience is luxurious. You can receive all treatments on the hydrotherm system at no extra cost.

The Tranquil Sea Massage  (Coming soon)

Following advanced training I will be offering this treatment from my cosy room at Soo Yoga, this is a lovely treatment for clients with or recovering from cancer, that are able to enjoy some well-deserved pampering. 

 

The nurturing Tranquil Sea Massage involves adaptations of techniques and focuses on wellbeing. After a thorough consultation your treatment will be adapted and customised to suit how you are feeling on the day. 

 

Research has shown that cancer patients can experience real benefits from massage when used alongside or after treatments. Especially with the hydrotherm massage system, the warm relaxing water making it delightful.

 

Massage has been known to reduce pain, reduce anxiety and nausea, aid sleep, and helps create a feeling of wellbeing...it seems very unfair to refuse this wonderful treatment to those who genuinely require it the most! This will be carried out on the hydrotherm system.

Before/Aftercare advice

  • Drink plenty of water before and after a treatment. This ensure that your body is hydrated, and your body can work well and can be more effective. Post treatment, this will help the lymph and circulatory system to remove waste products from your body and keep you hydrated.

  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours.

  • Avoid sunbeds and artificial UV lights. 

  • Do not have a hot bath following a massage.

  • Avoid exercise for 12 hours.

Pregnancy Massage (Coming soon)

The loveliest and best way to safely relax during pregnancy (from 12 weeks and onwards).

Help yourself to relax and unwind whilst relieving the aches and pains of carrying your precious little one. Hydrothem is a specialised technique which requires specialised training and qualifications.

Indian Head Massage

Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic treatment that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Indian head massage focuses on your head, neck and shoulders and was originally used to improve scalp and hair condition. It is a deep massage, using a variety of pressure and techniques, including circular massage strokes on your scalp, deep tissue works on your shoulders, and stretching the neck. When relaxed, negative feelings such as anxiety, fear, and anger are released. Your mind will feel more harmonious and in tune with everything around, clearer, and more focused.

​

On Occasions people may experience the following effects after a massage. This can be your body readjusting.

 

  • Some redness/soreness on some muscles, especially where deep work was carried out. This should ease after a day. 

  • Headaches. It is important to make sure you keep hydrated during this time. 

  • Flu/cold like symptoms. These again will pass and are your body's reaction to the flushing out of toxins/metabolic waste. 

  • A sense of elation/hyperactivity - this is your body’s reaction to nerve senses being activated by the massage.

  • Increased urination. Again, this will be due to toxins/metabolic waste being flushed out.

  • All massage can leave you feeling thirsty and needing to go to the toilet more than usual - this is because the massage has got your lymph circulation going and your body is flushing out toxins. Drink plenty of water afterwards as you slowly drift back to planet Earth.
