"THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I have just enjoyed the most wonderful aqua-therm massage in your Malton store. It was purchased as a present and I had never even heard of an aqua massage.

We are delighted to welcome consultant complementary therapist, Carole Dalton BA Hons- PGCert Ed- MFHT to our Cosy Cottage team, based in Malton, North Yorkshire.

Aqua-Therm Massage

Treatment Overview

Aqua massage therapy is a relatively new massage system that involves the use of flexible cushions filled with warm water. You will be lying face up, (semi-supine); your muscles will instantly relax, feeling the benefits of the warm water, supporting your body. Our experienced therapist will then use these therapy cushions to work the muscles and joints with oil. The session combines a range of gentle stretch exercises with more traditional massage techniques and some gentle stretches of the arms and legs.

The combination of heat and the unique support provided by the cushions makes this method of treatment ideally suited to those who cannot usually lie on their front, such as pregnant clients, those with anxiety, stomach or breast surgery and those with certain arthritic or spinal conditions.

Treatment Benefits

Benefits of the treatment include pain relief for people presenting with the following conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatic pain, restless leg syndrome, neck and back pain, postural stiffness as well as for relaxation. 

A non returnable deposit of £10 is payable on booking these treatments. The deposit may be transferred to another booking with 7 days notice if required. The balance will is payable in-store when you attend for your treatment.

The sequences used are adapted to meet individual clients' needs, body type and conditions.  

Treatment Benefits

Improved immune system - MLD can help support the immune system by helping the lymph nodes get rid of toxins. It's effective after a virus or illness and helps to promote healing by removing waste products.

Pain relief - MLD can help reduce pain, especially after an injury.

Stress management - MLD can help reduce stress by increasing alpha waves, which are associated with relaxation, and decreasing beta waves, which are associated with mental stimulation. 

Improved healing - MLD can help promote healing by removing waste products from the site of an injury. 

Improved symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis - MLD can help ease symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, such as tissue swelling and joint pain. MLD can also help fibromyalgia sufferers and Carole, our practitioner has had particular success with this condition.

Improved blood flow in chronic venous insufficiency - MLD can help increase the speed of blood flow in people with chronic venous insufficiency.

Treatment Overview and Benefits

Physical Benefits

• Relieves tension headaches and migraines
• Reduces neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Improves circulation to the scalp, promoting hair growth
• Enhances lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and toxins
• The gentle, rhythmic movements of the massage stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins and waste from the body.
• By working on areas around the head, neck, and shoulders, the massage encourages fluid movement, reducing puffiness and congestion.
• This can help boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health.
• Lowers blood pressure and boosts overall relaxation
• Reduces eye strain and fatigue
• Indian head massage targets the forehead, temples, and eye sockets, relieving built-up tension from excessive screen time, reading, or stress.
• It increases blood circulation to the area, providing fresh oxygen and nutrients to tired eye muscles.
• It also encourages deep relaxation, which helps reduce the strain from overuse of the eyes.
• Increases joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders

Mental & Emotional Benefits

• Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression
• Enhances mental clarity and focus
• By relaxing the nervous system and reducing stress, the brain can function more efficiently.

• Releasing tension in the scalp and temples helps to clear mental fog and promote sharp thinking
• Promotes deep relaxation and emotional balance
• Improves sleep quality and reduces insomnia
• Helps release emotional blockages and stored tension
• We store emotions in the body, especially in areas like the neck and shoulders. Indian head massage helps to release this tension, allowing emotions to surface and be processed.
• The slow, soothing movements activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which encourages emotional release and healing.
• Chakra balancing works on an energetic level, helping to clear stuck emotions from the heart and throat chakras, promoting open communication and self-expression.
• Increases feelings of calm and contentment
• The combination of massage and energy work stimulates endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—neurotransmitters responsible for happiness and relaxation.
• By reducing cortisol levels (the stress hormone), the body naturally shifts into a state of calm and well-being.
• The process of balancing chakras creates a sense of harmony, making you feel more at peace with yourself and the world.

Spiritual Benefits (with Chakra Balancing)

• Aligns and balances the Chakras, promoting overall well-being
• Clears energetic blockages for improved energy flow
• Chakras are energy centres in the body, and blockages can lead to physical, mental, and emotional imbalances.

• Essential oils, crystals, or visualization techniques can enhance the process, removing stagnant energy and restoring vitality.
• Enhances intuition and spiritual awareness
• The massage works on the third eye chakra, which is linked to intuition, insight, and perception.
• It helps to quiet the mind, making it easier to listen to your inner wisdom.
• By clearing distractions and stress, you become more in tune with your higher self, making it easier to trust your instincts and make aligned decisions.
• Promotes a sense of inner peace and harmony
• Encourages connection with higher consciousness
• The crown chakra, located at the top of the head, is associated with spirituality and divine connection.
• When this chakra is activated and balanced, you may experience a greater sense of purpose, unity, and inner peace.
• Some people report feeling lightness, clarity, or even deep meditative states during and after a session.
• The relaxation and mindfulness encouraged by the massage allow you to be more present, receptive, and open to spiritual guidance.
