Full Body Foliation Massage

What is a Full Body Foliation Massage?

In this treatment, your massage will include back, neck, shoulders, front and back of the legs, feet, hands and arms which will establish a relaxed feeling throughout the body whilst also reducing tightness, improving mobility and reducing any stressful feelings.

After this we start massaging the gentle exfoliating scrub onto the full body to remove any dead skin cells and encourage skin turnover. It is then removed with hot towels to aid circulation, reduce muscle soreness and release any tension.

How does it work?

Massage is believed to improve blood and lymph circulation as well as reducing tightness, improving flexibility and many more benefits. This is due partly to the physical manipulation of soft tissue and partly to the chemicals released as part of the relaxation response.

Leg and feet massages help enhance blood flow, which can alleviate fatigue and promote overall leg health. They can also improve flexibility and mobility, which can reduce the risk of injury. Regular massage can help prevent conditions such as cellulite and various veins by improving circulation.

Exfoliation works by removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This process helps to unclog pores, reduce dullness and promote new cell production, leading to brighter and healthier skin. As we age, the natural shedding of skin cells slows down, making exfoliation an important part of skincare to maintain a fresh appearance.

Heat from the hot towels causes the blood vessels to open wide (dilate). This brings more blood into the area to stimulate healing of damaged tissues. It has a direct soothing effect and helps to relieve pain and spasm. It can also ease stiffness.

Note Buffer Time

To help every appointment run smoothly, we include a small buffer around each treatment so the time length booked may be longer than the treatment time. This is to allow extra time for the completion of your consultation form, allow for any slight delays or natural treatment runover as well as preparing the room. 

Our goal is simply to make your visit relaxed, unrushed and for you to enjoy the experience from start to finish. If you ever have any questions about timing or what to expect, we’re always happy to help.

Please Note: Those days marked with a line through them are for appointment only sessions, which can be booked if required, but will need to be booked by giving us a call.
