Why Complementary Therapy?
Complementary therapy is a treatment or technique such as Swedish Massage used to supplement traditional medical treatments and promote healing and aid in relaxation and general well-being. Each of the treatments we provide at The Recovery Well, has its distinct benefits.
Reflexology
Reflexology is known to exist since the time of the Egyptians as a painting found on the wall of a Pharaoh medic’s tomb depicts people practising reflexology. There are several theories as to why reflexology is effective, the one we believe, is that all cells have energy within which travel through the body in channels. If these channels block for any reason it can create an imbalance in the body and that is where poor health develops.
Swedish Massage
It is also very relaxing for the mind and body. Deeper massage including acupressure and work on trigger points is applied to tense muscles and problem areas in some massage treatments to remove the tension and discomfort as much as possible. Please ask us for more information regarding which treatments include this and could suit your needs.
Aromatherapy
The aromatherapy massage tends to be much more of a soothing massage involving techniques that will be even more detoxing and promote the removal of lymph through the lymph nodes. The blends used are all bespoke to each individual client. We do not use premixed blends in our treatments unless made by us for specific treatments such as facial reflexology where a safe facial serum is created and used in-house (excluding clients that may not be able to have the oils for a particular health reason, instead we would use a simple organic oil such as Grapeseed).
