Anam Cara Massage

Feeling anxious and stressed with no time to yourself ?

In our fast-paced lives stress, muscle tightness and pain have become accepted as normal, but it doesn't need to be that way. At Anam Cara you can relax, knowing that you will be taken good care of and restored back to health. We can provide a tailor - made treatment to help you relax, soothe tension and un - knot tight muscles.

We offer longer massage sessions to give you extra time to relax and unwind. If you feel that you need extra pamper time we have two 90 mins treatments available.

The first is the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Ritual which is perfect if you feel stressed, it will help you to relax and unknot tight muscles.

If you are experiencing pain, discomfort or limited movement you might prefer a deeper massage which gets deep into muscle knots to release tension and pain. I would recommend the Intensive Deep Tissue Massage.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage

This is the perfect massage to help you relax fully into your body and quieten your mind.

It can help with -

  • Muscle tightness
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Emotional upset and worry

This treatment has a spiritual element to it and works at a deep level, healing your heart and helping you to forgive and release negative emotion you may be holding within your body. As the emotion and stress is released, muscles, joint and facia soften and relax, restoring balance and good health.

Instead of concentrating on one part of your body at a time it uses very flowing, long, wave like strokes like the ocean which help you to connect to nature. Deepening your breath and honouring the gift of life (aloha).

The pressure is tailored to your preference and the forearms, hands and knuckles are used to provide a flowing and continuous massage stroke.

Deep Tissue Massage

Ideal If you prefer a medium to firm massage to unknot tight muscles, remove tension and improve flexibility.

It can help with -

  • Muscle tension and joint Inflammation
  • Headaches
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Soft tissue strains
  • Limited movement
  • Back pain
  • Neck & shoulder pain

Deep Tissue massage combines many Swedish massage techniques with advanced methods to work along the length of the muscle and across the fibre to help release muscle knots.

Trigger point release therapy is also used to stretch and release muscles. Trigger points can form when the muscle contracts and can affect the fascia and impinge on nerves causing referred pain.

Deep tissue massage can be firm and deep but I will take extra care to warm up your muscles and keep discomfort to a minimum.


Reiki

Reiki is a form of hands on healing and originated in Japan. It uses Ki pronounced chee or life force energy which is channelled through your body to help dissolve energy blockages and restore vitality and balance.

It can help with -

  • Anxiety
  • Headache
  • Depression
  • Chronic Illness
  • Insomnia
  • Grief
  • Tiredness

During your treatment you will be fully dressed and can relax on the therapy couch, covered by a soft blanket. You may feel warmth or tingling or even see coloured waves of energy moving through your body. It is a very relaxing experience.
