Welcome to Ormston Holistic Therapies
Holistic therapies are a part of the history of ancient peoples. Each therapy is based upon methods and techniques that have been used and developed by civilisations and cultures throughout the world.
Each differing method has roots in antiquity, but many have been 'updated' for use in our modern society. They are not cures, and should be used in conjunction with modern medical practices, and with the consent of a medical practitioner where required.
Each therapy has its own place in the modern world, and not all therapies suit everyone.
Therapies
Massage
Massage therapy helps us to relax and can help ease aches and pains. It also helps to trigger the release of the body's natural painkillers, and gives a general sense of contentment.
Massage is a general term that covers a Multitude of a slightly differing techniques. It includes Swedish massage, Thai massage, Indian head massage, sports massage, remedial massage etc. Each type of massage has its own specific methods.
Massage is the healing power of touch.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a popular and relaxing holistic treatment based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops and sides of the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way the feet can be seen as a 'map' of the body.
Reflexologists work on the reflexes with their thumbs and fingers, using specialised massage techniques that are said to help correct imbalances throughout the body, and to help release blocked energy.
Reflexology is a safe natural way to relax, balance and harmonise.
Indian Head Massage
This treatment was founded in India and has been adapted to suit modern Western practices. Not only does this treatment give relief from pain and stiffness in the muscles of the face & neck, scalp, upper back and shoulders, it also increases energy levels, strengthens the immune system, improves the skin and hair condition, relieves tension headaches, nasal congestion and eyestrain. There are also many psychological benefits such as the alleviation of stress, anxiety, mild depression, greater creativity, clarity of thought and concentration. This all gives more restful, refreshing sleep, increases self-esteem and brings an increase in self-awareness.
The therapeutic effects of Indian Head Massage last long after the treatment is over. The short and long term benefits are varied, individual and cumulative.
Hopi Ear Candles
Ear Candles have been used throughout history by peoples from the Siberian prairies to the North and South American native Indians.
Ear candles have a purely physical function, of a light suction action, and the movement of the flame creates a vibration to give a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This gives a pleasant feeling of warmth, and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses.
This, together with a facial massage, leaves you feeling relaxed, secure and happy.
