Massage is one of the world’s most ancient healing arts. For thousands of years, people in places as far apart as Greece, India, Egypt and China have used its therapeutic effects to treat a wide range of complaints. Modern studies have proven what ancient people always knew — that massage can reduce anxiety, unease and depression and leave a deep and lasting sense of calm and relaxation. The studies show that massage stimulates the release of endorphins — chemicals in the brain that make us feel happier — and reduce levels of adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine — the so-called stress hormones. Hydrotherm differs from other types of massage because it is carried out with the client lying face up on two cushions that are filled with warm water, heated to between 30-40 degrees. Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and other techniques have been adapted to provide the ultimate body massage experience.
