Need to really relax? Then book an Acupressure Massage with A Healing Touch!
Acupressure benefits the balance of qi through the treatment of specific acupoints known as trigger points to release the body related to symptoms or illness at present. Acupressure Treatment is effective in removing these energy obstructions. Each point is pressed and held by thumb and finger pressure for anything up to 90 seconds, you may experience a slight bruising sensation due to the blood flow being restricted which causes knots in our body and this is where the chi is blocked. It works by producing more oxygen into that point where blood can then circulate better around the body and create the healing process that our bodies are capable of achieving through it’s meridians that governs the whole of the body’s systems.
An acupressure massage with A Healing Touch will leave you feeling revitalised for sure!
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.
People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
The cups can be made of:
Cupping is fairly safe, as long as you go to a trained health professional. But you could have these side effects in the area where the cups touch your skin:
A full consultation would be carried out like with other treatments.
At A Healing Touch it is £50 but this includes a 1 hour treatment as well as 15 Minutes with the cups on your body

We have lymph nodes in the body and it works like blood flow by sourcing out the good and bad nutrients so it can remove waste and toxins. It is important for the circulation system and the immune system. With its clever process, it stops harmful fluid from sitting on the tissues. So it does rely on us to eat the right things and have the correct nutrients in the body and exercise. Because it does not have its own pump like the heart that pumps blood around the body you have to keep active in order for the system to work and this is where lymphatic drainage massage can help too. So in a nutshell it is about fluid retention. Yoga can also help with the lymphatic and drinking lots of fluids.
The lymph nodes are spread throughout the body and are commonly found in the abdomen, arms, and legs the main nodes are under the clavicle to really get rid of toxins as this is nearest the heart. The whole idea in the treatment is to promote movement like any other massage treatment but the idea is for it to support the immune system and enable the fluid so it can be drained from the lymph nodes and the water has somewhere to go. It is a very gentle form of massage always working towards the heart.
Myofascial Release has been proven to be a great way of treating the body. It is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Our therapist will gently massage the myofascia and feel for stiff or tightened areas. Normal myofascia should feel pliable and elastic. The therapist will begin massaging and stretching the areas that feel rigid with light manual pressure. The therapist then aids the tissue and supportive sheath in releasing pressure and tightness. The process is repeated multiple times on the same trigger point and on other trigger points until the therapist feels the tension is fully released. These areas where the massage therapist is working may not be near where the pain originates or where you feel the pain most prominently. Myofascial release works the broader network of muscles that might be causing your pain. It tries to reduce tension throughout your body by releasing trigger points across a broad section of your muscular system.
