Stretch | Massage Therapist

TREATMENTS

We offer bespoke treatments to individuals and couples that wish to de-stress and rebalance muscle tissue, or to corporates that seek to enhance the wellbeing and performance of their employees. Our treatments can be done in the comfort of your home, in the clinic or your office.

Deep Tissue Massage

If you’re suffering from muscle tension or general aches and pains that have not been resolved, and have been brought on by anxiety, stress, sitting for long periods of time at your desk, or simply life, then a deep tissue treatment is a wonderful massage to have.

The treatment uses firm pressure and tailor-made techniques to eliminate fibrous adhesions, commonly known as “muscle knots”. It helps to realign deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, and reduce muscular pain. In short, it supports your musculoskeletal health.

A 60 minute treatment from £130.00 and a 90 minute treatment from £195.00.

Dry Cupping

Dry Cupping, also known as Myofascial Decompression Therapy, is a treatment where, through the use of suction, you create negative pressure, which is channelled via the cup to the soft tissue. The blood supply is increased to the muscle tissue, facia and skin in the area applied. The tissue underneath the cup is stretched which helps relieve tension knots, improves range of motion and reduces pain. A process called sterile inflammation also occurs during the cupping. This is where the body releases white blood cells and other chemicals to generate healing.

At ARU NA UCHE, we use a variety of cupping techniques including Static, Slide, Flash, Active Movement and Soft Tissue Release to bring about the required result. Dry Cupping can be used on its own, or in conjunction with manual treatments.

A 60 minute treatment from £130.00 and a 90 minute treatment from £195.00.

Sports Massage

Whether you're a professional sports person, or a dedicated amateur, who wants to optimise performance by maintaining, as well as improving, the condition of your soft-tissue. Or you’re someone who has a specific injury that needs help in being addressed, such as a strained hamstring, an inflamed bursa, or a troubling rotator cuff, then a sports massage is for you.

As with deep tissue, we use firm pressure, and specifically designed sports massage techniques to achieve the following:

1. Support the healing process

2. Reduce or eliminate pain
3. Help restore the full functionality of the tissue
4. Reduce tightness
5. Increase flexibility
6. Reduce tension
7. Increase joint range of motion
8. Remove adhesions
9. Improve circulation
10. Help remove cellular waste
11. Reduce anxiety
12. Reduce stress; and
13. Help restore the clients inner calm, balance and wellbeing

A sports massage is not just for those individuals who engage in sport regularly, it is for all who need support in restoring and improving the condition of their soft-tissue.

A 60 minute treatment from £130.00 and a 90 minute treatment from £195.00. For the initial treatment, a 30 minute consultation period is required and will be taken off the treatment time.

Stretch Massage

A great massage if your muscles are tight and need stretching. It softens hard fibrous muscles, supports circulation, therefore helping to remove waste, relieves pain, congestion and inflammation. If your suffering from limited range of motion it helps to improve this as well as your posture.

A 60 minute treatment costs £130.00 and a 90 minute treatment is £195.00.

Thai Yoga Massage

Unlike Thai massage performed on the floor, this massage is conducted on a table and uses oils. It combines the ancient practice of Northern Thailand of stretching with that of Southern Thailand of using acupressure techniques. Amongst its many benefits, it frees blockages in the body's energy flow restoring balance, increases flexibility, boost's strength, reduces stress and relieves muscle tension and pain. It's a beautiful massage to have and can be incorporated with other massage disciplines.

A 60 minute treatment from £130.00 and a 90 minute treatment from £195.00.

Pregnancy Massage

We all need some “me” time and this is never truer than when a woman is going through pregnancy. Pregnancy is an incredible and precious time in a woman’s life. She knows that in nine months she’ll bring a new life into the world, which is amazing. But in that time, a woman’s body goes through extraordinary physiological changes that can put a significant strain on it, and can have other negative side effects on her, such as high blood pressure, anxiety, in some cases depression, as well as musculoskeletal discomfort such as back or pelvic pain.

A pregnancy massage gives a woman that much-needed me time, and supports her through this process by addressing any musculoskeletal discomfort she may be experiencing, supporting her immune system, improving her circulation and lymphatic drainage, and releasing the feel-good and relaxing hormones, endorphins.

The massage also indirectly benefits the unborn baby. Research has shown that a foetus can be negatively impacted by the high stress levels that its mother may have. So, the more relaxed the mother-to-be is, the more relaxed baby is.

A 60 minute treatment from £130.00.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

This treatment is unlike most massage treatments in its application. Here, we apply light, rhythmic pumping strokes in the direction that the lymph flows. This supports the functionality and effectiveness of the body’s lymphatic system which carries vital substances around the body in the lymph fluid, defending the body and helping in the removal of cellular waste products. The lymphatic system is an integral part of the body’s circulatory system and its immune response. If the lymphatic system becomes compromised, lymph fluid builds up and blockages arise, resulting in stagnation, causing the system to become toxic.

Manual lymphatic drainage assists in clearing these blockages, eliminating metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, transporting nutrients to cells, increasing your metabolic efficiency, which in turn helps in the reduction of excess fluid in the body, and subsequently water weight. It has an incredibly calming effect on the nervous system, helping to relieve stress and tension.

A 90 minute treatment from £195.00.

The Healing Facial Massage

The stresses that we all experience in everyday life can result in the muscles in the head, face and neck tightening and constricting, leading to aches and pains especially around the jaw and neck area. To rejuvenate the face, the ARU NA UCHE Healing Facial Massage uses specifically-tailored facial muscle manipulation techniques that relieve tension in these muscles, help smooth away wrinkles, and bring back elasticity and sheen to the skin. Acupressure is applied to stimulate key organs in the body and helps to renew the cell system, leaving you feeling more energised and having better-looking skin. To help contour the face, reduce puffiness and the level of toxins in the system, lymphatic drainage is used. To further help firm-up the skin, cold stone treatment is used, and this soothes the skin by reducing inflammation. It also enhances facial definition.

To achieve the best possible results, we use a range of products that are naturally based, formulated with the most up-to-date bioactive ingredients, full of antioxidants, nutrients, and anti-inflammatories, resulting in your skin being cleansed, healthy and glowing.

A 90 minute treatment from £215.00 and a 2 hour treatment from £265.00.

Please note, that prices listed will vary depending on whether the treatment is in the clinic or at home.
