"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. Having experienced it, I can now thoroughly recommend it! All your staff are wonderful and visiting your store is always such a pleasure. I can now include treatments as another delicious experience to enjoy."
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.

She will host 1 hour long introductory sessions, suitable for customers of all ages and genders, for three of her core holistic therapy disciplines, described below. Following these initial sessions, Carole will be here in Malton, on a regular basis, offering follow-up appointments from 17 Market Place, Malton.
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 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.
Reflexology
Treatment Overview
You are welcome to either sit or recline on a massage couch with your feet bare for this treatment. Our practitioner initially examines the feet, before working on all the areas of the feet, which correspond, in this discipline, with areas of the body as a whole. Our practitioner relaxes the feet with gentle massage, and then works on the reflex points using specific reflexology techniques.
Treatment Benefits
By working on areas of the feet in a calming way stimulates the nerves there, which sends a message to the central nervous system. This helps to relax the body and has positive effects on your breathing, blood flow, immune response, and more.
Reiki
Treatment Overview
Reiki is not part of any type of religion or belief system, but a holistic therapy centred on balancing the bodies' natural energy fields. Our experienced practitioner may or may not be guided to touch you during the session, but please be aware that this will only be your shoulders, elbows, hips, wrists, knees and ankles and with your consent. When no touch happens, she will place her hands near you. At all times you will be fully clothed and can ask for a blanket to be placed over you. Through this gentle action, she aims to change and balance the 'energy fields' in and around your body. One of the main aims of this treatment is to help you relax and de-stress.
Treatment Benefits
Studies show that reiki therapy may be useful for reducing stress and anxiety, easing pain, improving quality of life. It can bring about symptom relief and other improvements, can help to support a programme of meditation and bring balance to the immune system.
