Air massage, ideal for helping reduce weight, water retention for christmas...
This is a massage system similar to the 'Flowtron' used in hospitals. By using pockets inflated and deflated with air the area is massaged. Some people prefer this to being touched (although an aromatherapy massage is offered after the treatment with appropriate oils) others enjoy it as an addition. The therapy gives pressure to the vein, thus promoting the circulation of blood and body fluids. The lymph secretion is increased and the metabolism raised. The benefits continue for another 60 to 90 minutes after treatment has ended. * Many clients find the therapy extremely relaxing and either nearly fall asleep or do fell asleep! * As many find this therapy relaxing you do not NEED to have a condition to enjoy using taking the therapy.
