"The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and scented massage every day" (Hippocrates)
Aromatherapy & Massage:
Here at Back In Action we believe that everyone deserves to be healthy. Because modern society places a lot of pressure and strain upon the individual, we are constantly researching for ways of becoming healthier and fitter. Aromatherapy and massages offer a way of helping people get well without the aid of chemicals and drugs.
In brief, massage is a form of tissue manipulation which has evolved over thousands of years. From Ancient China to present-day Europe it has been used for the promotion and restoration of health. In recent years there has been a remarkable increase in the use of massage as a therapy. The growth and acceptance of therapies complementary to orthodox medicine have led to massage being much more widely accepted as a treatment for all sort of stress related problems.
Although the term "aromatherapy" was not used until the 20th century, the use of essential oils dates back thousands of years. Classed as a complementary medicine, it is now offered by many hospital and hospices to enhance people's general well-being and optimise their quality of life.
Here at Back In Action, we have an holistic approach to our treatments. This means we take into account a person's whole being, not just the physical symptoms.
Your therapist will give you a wide range of advice, including the use of other therapies, of exercises you can do, or lifestyle changes that may help your body. Moreover, we are happy to share the management of your condition, both with your GP and other therapists.
