Sometimes known as Holistic or Swedish Massage, Therapeutic Massage is a pleasurable and nurturing full-body treatment which relaxes both the body and mind. The term “holistic” is based on the concept of treating the person and their body as a whole. Lifestyle, diet, emotional state and physical environment are all taken into account when tailoring the treatment to the clients needs. Tight and tender muscles are manipulated by hand to release tension, soothe the nervous system and encourage the body‘s natural ability to heal itself.

Some of the benefits which Therapeutic Massage has brought to Orla’s clients include:

• Relief to sore, stiff and tender muscles
• Calmed nerves, emotions and stress levels
• Ability to sleep better
• Improved skin tone and appearance
• More comfortable digestion
• Enhanced self esteem, energy and motivation
• Boost to the immune system

Therapeutic Massage offers a sense of tranquillity, calmness and enhanced wellbeing. Much needed time out from our often hectic and energetic lives. It  provides us with a greater awareness of our own bodies and minds which in turn can boost self-esteem.

Orla’s therapeutic treatments will provide you with a chance to unwind and support your body’s natural healing process, leaving you both relaxed and revitalized.

"My visits to Orla coincided with a particularly stressful period for me at work and home. I looked forward to my weekly massage and left feeling relaxed and refreshed ready for the week ahead. I could physically feel my shoulders drop and the tension disappear. Orla was good at listening, analysing my mood and tailoring the massage to focus on particular problem areas. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Orla to my friends and family." G. Henderson
