Warm Bamboo Massage

Here, organically treated bamboo canes are used as the medium for the massage. The canes are warmed and are rolled over the muscles, using various pressures and techniques. It is possible to achieve a much deeper massage using the canes and this, combined with their warmth and the slow, rhythmic strokes promotes a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing, as well as all the usual benefits of a massage.

I worked in the NHS for 20 years as a district nurse and became interested in complementary therapy through observing how much discomfort and illness is related to stress and tension. I believe in treating the cause rather then just the symptoms of any imbalance and have experienced that, through relieving tension, initially physically, this has a healing effect on the whole system, restoring balance on the more subtle levels as well. This is especially effective for anxiety and depression as well as for chronic physical symptoms as it helps to restore the body to a state of ease. This, in turn, affects the emotional and mental states, breaking the cycle and promoting a healing response.
