Massages are personal body treatments that aim to relax, revive and heal the body. Using manual hands-on movements and manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles in the body, massage therapy works to promote healing and enhance a person’s overall wellbeing.
There are many forms of massage therapy, each with their own benefits. No longer is massage thought of as a luxury as treatments are now available for anyone and for different durations, whether for relaxation purposes, for sports recovery or for pain relief and all to relax and rebalance the body and to make you feel amazing.
The training and experience of our therapists here at Purity allows us to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, which you can discuss with your therapist before and during the massage. Whether you simply need to de-stress, are recovering from injury or have a long-term problem to address,we have a massage to suit.
During a Swedish massage, the masseuse will use soothing oils of your choice, to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage as well as techniques including kneading, friction, stretching and tapping. The firm yet gentle pressure applied allows for relaxation and feel-good indulgence. It importantly eases muscle tension and maintains physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Additionally, massage is ideal for releasing tension and anxiety.
When it comes to stretching, even the most diligent of gym bunnies are bound to run into the odd muscle pain from time to time. Whether you favour high-intensity exercise or the lighter exertion of yoga, all that working up can get your limbs and ligaments seriously knotted up. Sports massage is the solution.
Reflexology is a deeply calm and relaxing treatment. It is a complementary therapy, which works on the principal that points on one part of the body will correspond to a body part somewhere else. These areas are arranged in such a way form a map of the body in the feet. Stimulating these areas (mainly in the feet) can treat various problems throughout the body as a whole.
Reflexology is a wonderful stress reliever. Among other things, the treatment promotes a deep feeling of calm and relaxation, while melting away tension, lifting your mood and rebalancing the body.
A lymphatic drainage massage can be a great way of achieving naturally beautiful skin. “How?”
Our lymphatic system is a vital part of our immune system, made up of all sorts of vessels, including a somewhat miracle fluid called lymph. Travelling under our skin, this underrated – and quite simply, genius – fluid removes all sorts of bad stuff (think toxins, bacteria and excess water) from our body. A lymphatic drainage massage can help get this lymph flowing, unclogging pores and minimizing puffy looking skin along the way.
Are you suffering from tensions and aches that cannot be solved by a classic Swedish massage? Deep tissue massage is what you’re looking for!
It is a more focused form of massage releasing chronic muscle tension or knots within the deeper tissue structures. The pressure is stronger and concentrated on the problematic area which might lead to a little bit of discomfort but helps alleviate the pain in the long term.
Holistic Massage Therapy is an ancient method of healing that works with the body to release toxins. It recognizes that illness and stress affect not only our physical body, but also our emotional, spiritual and mental well-being.
Holistic Massage allows the body’s natural healing abilities to come forth and balance the entire body. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing system, uses the therapeutic benefits of massage combined with plant extracts, spices and aromatic oils.
