Do you suffer from headaches, migraines, concussion, chronic pain or tension?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet powerful therapy that works on the body’s soft tissues to release tension & restore health.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that works to release trauma & contraction patterns in the body – often the cause of pain. The practitioner uses very light contact to work with the craniosacral system – the inherent tissue movements of the body.
It’s thought that through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system can be normalized. This removes “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal.

Thai Yoga Massage
How is the Thai Massage different from a typical massage?
Unlike more popular forms of massage that use oil or lotion and are done on an elevated massage table, no oil or lotion is applied, so you are fully clothed.
The therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches and also applies muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure.
Our wonderful authentic Thai treatments will revitalise you, leaving you feeling relaxed and de-stressed. We have a number of different treatments available.
What is Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage is an eastern form of massage that incorporates acupressure and yoga-like stretching. It relates directly to yoga principles originating in India and has similarities to some Chinese massage techniques such as shiatsu and reflexology; working on specific acupressure points and energy lines within the body to promote a natural self healing process. It differs from many western forms of massage in that the treatment takes place on a mat on the floor, no oil is used and you remain fully clothed.
