The type of massage offered at Chivers Therapies is Therapeutic massage, otherwise known as Swedish massage or deep tissue massage.
Massage is a good way of releasing tension from muscles and increasing circulation around the body, relieving aches and pains and allowing the body freer movement.
For a treatment to proceed you are requested to remove clothing from the parts of your body that will be worked on. You will do this once the therapist has left the room and be requested to lie on the bed with a towel covering you. Once the therapist begins, you must be sure to let them know whether the pressure is too hard or too soft.
After a treatment, depending on how tense the muscles were it is possible to see light bruising and to feel achy for a few days. This is normal and as long as treatments are regular, these will not happen as often.
