What is Body?
The Body is a complex organism. We all are concerned with what is pumped into our atmosphere but often we give little consideration for what goes into our body. The Body responds best to what is natural, to that which works with the body, gently and effectively. What goes into our body is important, that's why we have chosen to use only natural, paraben and SLS free products. Rediscovering respect for our bodies means that we can become better aware of what it is telling us. Nourishing our body with high quality, carefully sourced, natural ingredients means that we can better respond to those messages.
The Body is the barometer of the Mind. If we are distressed or unhappy we are also often ill. Equally if we are ill we are also unhappy or distressed. Which comes first? Or are they symptomatic of each other? Undoubtedly, prolonged dis-ease of one will surely effect the other, therefore both need to be treated.
For millennia massage has been used as a powerful tool to treat ailments of the body, it increases blood flow, nourishing our organs, helping lubricate our joints, toning our muscles and stimulating our lymphatic system. Massage also allows us to unwind, something which we often undervalue. Being able to unwind, relax and re-centre oneself is a vital key to well-being. Without the space to re-connect with ourselves we run on automatic pilot, from one pressure and responsibility to the next. That is the fast route to burn out and illness.
As our lives change, we search for coping mechanisms to help us juggle our many responsibilities; but the key to a relaxed and confident mind and a healthy energetic body lies in finding the space and time to give something back to yourself.
Our holistic therapies draw upon an age-old tradition of natural healing and are designed to treat both body and mind. The treatments blend a range of massage techniques from shiatsu and reflexology to neuro-muscular and lymphatic drainage.
We can provide all our treatments in the comfort of your own home, enabling you to totally relax undisturbed by the outside world. Each therapy begins with an extensive consultation by our highly qualified therapist to assess the clients' unique needs and will allow us to tailor every session to the individual.
Our therapies include:
Clinical Aromatherapy - (Duration approx. 75 minutes) - Cost: £35
Aromatherapy has been used throughout the world for centuries. This has resulted in a finely tuned and highly effective medicinal practice. Not only has aromatherapy been tried and tested over time, it also has been subject to rigorous scientific testing. We now understand better why the oil that centuries ago was used to relieve, for example, sinusitis actually works on a chemical level. Essential oils are highly potent chemicals and need to be used in an informed and responsible manner. Through consultation, our highly trained clinical practitioner devises your treatment plan from an extensive range of high quality essential oils; providing natural, effective healing.
Johan Georg Mezger (1838-1909) first systemised this massage technique. It is used as the basis for almost all massage training and is most useful in the treatment of muscular or skeletal problems. Depending on the patient's requirements the massage can be invigorating or relaxing as it works the tissues and feeds the muscles and organs. At Caduceus we use this therapy to treat a variety of complaints, always following comprehensive consultation and tailoring the treatment to fit the client's needs. Popular examples of these treatments are:
Reviving Detox - (Duration approx. 1 hour) - £30
A mixture of Swedish remedial and lymphatic drainage techniques are combined to give an energising feeling of top-to-toe vitality
Deep Tissue Massage - (Duration approx. 1 hour) - £30
Tired muscles are revived and invigorated as this full body treatment relieves aches and pains
Tension Release (Duration approx. 30 minutes) £20
Back, neck and shoulders are treated to smooth deep tissue massage. Tension literally melts away.
Tired Legs (Duration approx. 30 minutes) £20
Lymphatic drainage and reflexology techniques relieve aching muscles leaving you feeling totally revived.
Indian Head Massage (Duration approx. 30 minutes) - £20
This deeply relaxing Ayurvedic treatment allows you to leave behind the cares of the day and re-centre yourself. Although the roots of this therapy are based in the Indian tradition there is also evidence that it was used extensively in Western Europe with the same remedial effects. Indian Head Massage not only improves the condition of scalp and hair, but also releases the stress that accumulates in the face, head, neck and shoulders. It is extremely potent as a relaxant and clients may find it beneficial to sleep after this therapy. This total relaxation allows the body and mind to re-balance and leaves the client with a deep sense of well-being.
Thermo-Auricular Therapy - (Duration approx. 45 minutes) - £20
This therapy has roots in many different civilisations, including the Ancient Greeks, but it is most commonly known for its links with the Native American Hopi Tribe. The candles are made from natural materials, known for their anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. They work on the chimney principle, drawing wax and toxins from the ear gently and effectively, making them a viable alternative to the invasive procedure of syringing. They also equalise the pressure in the head helping with conditions such as migraine and sinusitis.
