Health Check
Massage has been practised for thousands of years in many cultures. When the body is touched, receptors in the skin send messages to the brain causing the release of chemicals such as endorphins. These produce a sense of relaxation and wellbeing and can also relieve pain.
Massage also improves the flow of blood and lymph fluid and helps to eliminate waste products from the body. Massage can also help to stimulate the immune system.
There are many physiological and psychological health benefits of massage, however, for the protection of yourself and the therapist, all guests who wish to have a treatment will be asked to complete a short health questionnaire to ensure they are suitable for treatment.
There are a small number of cases where we are unable to provide treatment.
- Persons within the first trimester of pregnancy
- Certain forms of cancer
- Phlebitis and deep vein thrombosis
- Some cardiac problems
- Some skin conditions
- Infectious diseases
In some cases, we may be able to provide an alternative treatment, such as a hand or foot massage at a reduced fee.
Our customer's care and safety is of utmost importance and we do not want to disappoint you at the party, therefore, if you are in any doubt as to whether you are suitable for a massage treatment we recommend that you consult your GP or specialist for advice beforehand and where necessary obtain permission in writing from a qualified doctor.
Please note children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must sign the consent form and remain throughout the duration of the massage.
