Definition of Massage:
Massage is as old as man himself and has evolved through the need to relieve soreness in the body. We instinctively rub a part of the body if it is knocked. This is a subconscious action that soothes. Touch has played a central role as an instrument of healing.

According to principles of reflexology, the whole of the body is mapped out on the soles of the feet
According to the principles of acupressure, by pressing the points and meridians on the feet, we can influence energy along the whole meridian
Foot massage makes us feel special and feels good!

A treatment consists of massage with and without oil, with the hands and with a ridoki (roller).
Tsuboki ® Hand Massage
We use our hands frequently - they work very hard for us and we tend to take them for granted, it is only when they begin to let us down with arthritis, loss of grip or dexterity that we realise how important they are! Therefore let us look after our hands because very often it is our hands that show our age before our face, by keeping them in good condition we feel good about ourselves.
To have this wonderful therapy there is no need to undress and it can be performed sitting, lying or reclining hence an easy treatment for people with disabilities too.
The whole body is mapped out on the hands just as it is on the feet - so why not treat these hard working pieces of your body to 45 minutes to release tension, increase flexibility and paying attention to all the important parts of your body...
