Indulgent Treatments: The Lowdown

There are a number of Indulgent Treatments on offer at YOU Massage Therapy – the warming and soothing Hot Stones, the uplifting Organic Holistic Facial, Holistic Foot Rituals, the focused Full Works, the stress-busting Top-To-Toe Deluxe, and the ultimate ‘MOT’ Detox Deluxe Experience. Why not take a look at our website?  I thought I’d go through them and give you the heads up on what they are and how they work.

So, the treatments:

Hot Stones

This massage is done using basalt stones (a volcanic rock that retains heat well).  The stones are heated in a water-bath for at least an hour before your massage, bringing them to the perfect temperature.  A combination of hot-oil massage and massage using the stones themselves is  then done for your treatment time.  The use of hot stones in a massage stroke allows the heat to    penetrate areas of tension without the need for Deep Tissue or Remedial techniques – so you  get  the benefit of muscular tension being removed, without the discomfort of deeper techniques.    In fact, the heat from the stones actually goes deeper into your tissues than  traditional massage – affecting a depth up to six inches!

This is a fantastic massage for the ultimate in warm relaxation whilst still providing a remedial 

Organic Holistic Facial

It’s nice to be able to use Organic products and everyone wants to use Natural products without parabens or ethanols or other things that are now known to be nasty… but what does “Natural” mean if you cannot decipher the ingredients list on the label?  How do you know that you’re doing right by your skin if you don’t know what’s going on it?  Well, come and have a look at our products.  Locally made using organic ingredients, and with labels that make sense!  Oh, and did I mention that they work?  With so many therapists working her we’ve had a collection of skin types to try them out on, and from sensitive eyes to problem foreheads we’ve all been very happy.  We have a number of testers available for you to sample and see what you think, but the best way to check them out properly is most definitely by having a 1hr Holistic Facial tailored to your needs.  The facial will include a deep cleanse, scrub, steam, masque (with your choice of scalp or hand massage), oil facial massage, tone, and moisturise, finishing with eye and lip balm, and we can even do some blackhead removal if you need it.  You’ll sample all of the products that might be useful to you, prescribed by a qualified therapist to suit your needs, and done with facial massage and steam treatments that will uplift your skin further and let you leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and radiant.

This is the treatment to have if you are tired of looking tired, ready to banish blemishes, keen for some time out, and enthusiastic for a pick-me-up.  A great treatment to have before a weekend away or picnic in the sunshine – you’ll be as radiant as your surrounds!

Holistic Foot Rituals

Our feet are important to us, we need to look after them, and with the beautiful weather we are having they are on show!

Our Holistic Foot Rituals is treating your feet to a hot oil soak, with an Organic scrub and masque followed by a firm foot massage to deeply nourish, sooth and balance. You could also add in a pedicure, lymph drainage, hot stones or full reflexology session and you’ll never want to walk on anything but clouds again!

Having the holistic foot rituals will replenish your feet, we use organic products to make the experience more enjoyable. The NHS suggests tips into looking after your feet, keeping them clean and removing the hard skin is on their 10 tips on foot care.

The Full Works

This is where the combinations begin.  This luxurious treatment involves a Mini Holistic Facial, a Reflexology-Style Foot Massage, and our famous Holistic Back Massage – it’s the treatment you need where you need it!  The Mini Facial includes cleanse, tone, and moisturise using the same organic products discussed above in the section on the Organic Holistic Facial; rejuvenating and reviving you.  The Reflexology-Style Foot Massage focuses attention to the ends of your nerves, bringing your mind’s awareness to areas of the body that could use the attention and helping you to heal and relax.  The Holistic Back Massage is our most popular treatment – a combination of every technique the therapist has at their disposal tailored to the areas you need each one in an effort  to relieve tension, remove stress, banish fluid retention, and balance energy.

This is the treatment to have if January has left you tired and feeling like you just didn’t have time to look after yourself while you took care of everything else!  Work where you need it most to remind your body that you do care about yourself too!

The Top-To-Toe Deluxe

Another combination treatment, and similar to The Full Works, but this one goes for ninety minutes instead of an hour: a Mini Holistic Facial, a Reflexology-Style Foot Massage, and a Full Body Holistic Massage.  If it isn’t just your back that’s feeling tired or you just feel like you need uplifting all over, this is the treatment for you!  The Mini Holistic facial will rejuvenate and revive your skin, the Reflexology-Style Foot Massage to draw your body’s internal attentions to where they’re needed most, and the Full Body Holistic Massage will help you unwind, untie, and relax – bringing you back from stress and tension and helping you feel like you again!

This is the treatment to have if you feel like you could use a “grease and oil change” on yourself!  If you’ve survived the holidays, but are feeling run down and run around now that work and school and exams are back – this is the treatment for you!

The Detox Deluxe Experience
