She has now found the ultimate injury treatment facility away from the hustle and bustle of everyday lifewhich offeres a relaxed atmosphere and professional approach to treating those aches and pains. Here she offers a variety of treatments which provide the promotion of health and wellbeing.

Hydrotherm is a type of massage which is carried out on heated water cushions. The patient will remain on their back for the entire duration of the treatment adding to the comfort and luxury. The therapist is able to use the body weight of the patient to gauge the pressure used for the treatment. This is ideal for older patients or patients whose condition means they have a reduced range of movement.  It is a warm and comforting treatment with huge physical and mental benefits.
