The therapies offered complement each other. By using non invasive healing techniques of gentle holding, digital and palm pressure, joint mobilisation, stretches and manipulation, support for many health complaints is offered to clients. Through helping to strengthen the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself sessions can assist with both stress and pain management as well as improve immune response. Each treatment is designed to address individuals’ needs and promote a sense of relaxation. Receivers remain fully clothed and lie on a comfortable table or futon.
