Spa Treatments
Treatment rooms are located in the Indoor Activity Centre.
Clients are requested to arrive 5 minutes before their appointment and wait in
the upstairs lounge.
Therapists are to be paid directly on the day of treatment by cash or cheque.
Revitalising Facial
Your skin will firstly be deep cleansed, toned and exfoliated to remove dry dead skin cells. You will
then enjoy a shoulder and neck massage and a shiatsu facial massage before you have a mask applied
to your face. While the mask is on, you can enjoy a hand or foot massage, or upgrade to a hand or
foot treatment for an extra £5. Hands will be covered in a nourishing mask and placed in heated
mitts, feet will have a mask applied and then placed in heated booties. This is fantastic for clients
who have very dry skin or arthritis, as the heat allows the mask to penetrate deeper into the skin and
ease arthritic hands and feet. The face mask will be removed and finally moisturiser and eye serum
will be applied. What a way to spend a relaxing hour! Regular facials benefit the skin in many ways,
including deep cleansing and exfoliating of the skin; blood and lymph circulation is increased, helping
to remove impurities; skin is toned and relaxed, with improved texture and appearance. Facials are
also considered a preventative measure against premature aging of the skin.

Essential Back Treatment
Back and upper arms will be cleansed and exfoliated, mask will be applied and your back will receive
a relaxing massage. Upper arms are often neglected and this treatment can help get rid of bumpy,
rough skin that often accumulates here. Exfoliation helps get rid of dry, dead skin cells that leave the
skin dull, allowing new skin cells to replenish. Massage eases the stress and tension held in the upper
back area. Perfect treatment for getting your back and upper arms ready for the summer or that
special event!

Reflexology
Reflexology is a science based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet which
correspond to all organs, glands and body parts.
Reflexology is a technique of using the thumbs and fingers on these reflexes to stimulate major
organs and aid in the excretion of toxins. Reflexologists suggest that energy flows through our bodies
in 10 zones, these run from our head down to the toes and the fingers, which are rich in nerve
endings. The flow of energy – the Chinese call chi – ends in many of the reflex points in the hands
and feet. The theory is that if there is an imbalance in the body, the energy becomes blocked. A
reflexologist may feel these blockages and will help break down the crystals and restore energy flow.
It greatly stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and helps flush away toxins.
Reflexology can:
 Relieve stress
 Relieve muscular tension
 Encourage the body’s natural healing processes
 Revitalize energy
 Cleanse the body of toxins
 Stimulate creativity and productivity

Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is based on an ancient Ayurvedic healing system that has been practised in India
for approx 4000-5000 years. Ayurveda is the ancient Hindu practice of health care and medicine. The
treatment is also known as champisagge from the ancient Hindu word ‘champi’ meaning massage.
(This is where we get the word ‘shampoo’ from).
Its holistic approach concentrates on achieving a balance of the mind, body and spirit to promote
physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being. Traditionally this was an important family
ritual
in
India
and
was
passed
on
from
generation
to
generation.
This therapeutic massage involves various strong but gentle massage and pressure movements
working on the areas of the upper back, neck, shoulders, arms, head, face and ears that accumulate
tension and stress.
One treatment can lift you out of the stress of everyday life, improves blood circulation, stimulates
lymphatic flow, boosts the immune system, releases blockages and tension in the muscles and drains
away toxins from the aching muscles. It can relieve tension headaches and eye strain and makes way for
whole body relaxation. Suitable for pregnant ladies or clients, who, for whatever reason, cannot lie flat on
their front.
Regular treatments can improve skin and hair condition and growth by increasing the blood supply to
these areas. It can improve sleep and concentration and offers relief from mental tiredness and
irritability by de-stressing the mind.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time of enormous physical and emotional change. As the baby develops, this can cause
considerable strain on the mother’s body, causing some pain and discomfort. Massage can help to
prepare the body for the changes that occur during this special time, as well as helping to alleviate
many of the symptoms and conditions related to pregnancy. This will help to promote a healthy and
happy pregnancy, as well as helping labour and subsequent post natal recovery.
Massage during pregnancy has multiple benefits for both mother and baby – it provides relaxation,
soothes nerves and reduces anxiety. It relieves stress on joints and eases neck, back and leg strain. It
also helps with promoting good posture, improving quality of sleep and balancing moods. Massage
aids the lymphatic system and encourages the elimination of waste and toxins which helps to reduce
swelling (oedema).

Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils to activate your sense of smell and increase your sense of
well-being. This is a holistic therapy, which means it’s designed to treat your overall needs, not just
one symptom. The essential oils used in aromatherapy are powerful and are extracted from plants,
shrubs, flowers, bark, peel, resin, grasses, fruits, roots, trees, petals, stems or seeds.
Our therapist will take a full medical history and details of lifestyle, this will help decide which
essential oils are most appropriate for you. After carefully choosing your essential oils, the therapist
will blend them with what is called a "carrier" oil.
The blend of oils work on many levels by entering the blood stream via the skin through the smooth,
flowing massage and through inhalation to act on our nervous system. The powerful combination of
the oils and massage instils a sense of deep relaxation and calm. Every session is tailored towards
you, your health and your mood at the time, so every massage is unique.
Aromatherapy massage not only aids relaxation but improves circulation, it may also help relieve
stress and anxiety, improve sleep, ease tired aching muscles, improve skin tone and condition. For
the oils to work to their full potential they should be left on skin for at least 6 hours and the effects of
the treatment may last up to 36 hours.
Please be aware that aromatherapy is not suitable for breast-feeding mothers.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage involves the manipulation of soft tissue, muscle and skin. It aims to release tension
and stress, boost the lymphatic and circulatory systems and soothe the nervous system. It not only
helps in the prevention of physical stress but is also a natural aid to the treatment of stress-related
conditions.
A "one-off" massage treatment offers a short-term solution to a problem, for example, relieving
muscular tension. Regular massage treatment offers a more long-term solution to physical and
emotional stresses on the body providing time out to encourage relief from both mental and physical
fatigue.

Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi ear candling, also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy is an ancient form of therapy practised by
many people on a worldwide basis. Its name is associated with the Hopi Indians of North Arizona and
means ‘peaceful people’. Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers. Ancient wall
paintings show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The candles
are still made today on the basis of the old traditional formula originating from the Hopi Indians. It is
also believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially for cleansing, purifying and healing on
a spiritual level but much later on a purely physical basis.
Quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi ear candle is actually a cotton tube,
impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to
draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinus and aid hearing problems
After a full consultation to ensure there are no contra-indications and to ensure the treatment is
delivered in the most effective way for each client’s unique requirements, lying comfortably on your
side, the candle will be gently placed into the ear canal where it is lit, this will be held steady in a
vertical position and you will enjoy a relaxing head massage during the candle burn. You will
experience a pleasant crackling sound as the candle burns and a warm comfortable feeling. A light
suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the ear
candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum which helps balance the pressure in the
ears, forehead and sinuses. This process will be repeated on the other ear. Treatment finishes with a
gentle pressure point lymphatic facial and ear massage which helps drainage from this area.
Hopi candles can be used to help many conditions including deafness caused by excess wax,
congested sinuses, irritation in the ears, ringing or noises in the ears, tinnitus, rhinitis, glue ear, colds,
flu, headaches and migraines. Also for our increasingly stressed society it is a deeply relaxing, calming
and soothing experience. Restoring equilibrium or pressure in the ear is particularly beneficial before
and after a flight, or after frequent flying and sports such as diving. As their action is so gentle, they
are also suitable for children.
It is important to note that the candle does not suck wax out of the ear; it stimulates the ear to
eliminate the wax naturally, ensuring maximum safety.
Treatment time 1 hour, £45.00
Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage
The healing practice of Thai herbal compress therapy dates back nearly 5,000 years. In Thailand the
herbal compress is called luk pra kob, translating as “herbal pressing sphere”. They are made with a
fantastic array of healing, aromatic and therapeutic herbs including prai, ginger, turmeric,
lemongrass, kaffir lime among others and wrapped together in muslin cloth in accordance with
ancient recipes.
Thai Herbal Compress Massage is a wonderful therapy involving traditional massage along with
massaging the body with compresses that are steamed to heat them and release their healing
properties for a purely indulgent treatment. They are applied to the skin in gentle pressing, patting,
pounding or rolling movements. The heat from the compress carries the herbal essences and
essential oils deep into the skin, underlying tissues and organs. This treatment brings about a deep
sensation of comfort and warmth whilst stimulating the body to detoxify and heal itself. Adding deep
heat herbal therapy gives you extra healing benefits!
As well as inducing deep relaxation, relief of stress, anxiety and fatigue, boosting both emotional and
physical well-being, this technique offers several potential health benefits: improves circulation of
blood and lymph and stimulates the internal organs. The herbs in the compress possess properties
that are anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent and antioxidant, helping relieve stiff, aching
muscles, back pain, arthritis, migraines and headaches, insomnia, MS, PMT, poor circulation and gives
the body’s energy reserves a boost.

Reiki
Reiki means “Universal Life Energy” and is the energy that flows through all living things and is vital to
well being. It is an ancient technique which balances and heals the body, mind, spirit and emotions
and is also used to encourage spiritual and personal growth.
During a session the recipient lies down fully clothed in a peaceful, comfortable environment and the
practitioner places their hands gently on or above the body. The recipient automatically draws in only
as much energy as is needed and uses it in whatever way is most appropriate for them.
Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations or
nothing at all. It is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect. After a session it is advisable
to rest for a while, drink plenty of water and be responsive to your body’s needs. The beneficial
effects can last for several days.
The key benefits include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well being. It
encourages and supports positive personal choices such as adopting a healthier lifestyle and
promotes inner harmony and balance that make it easier to cope with life’s challenges.

After Care Advice
MASSAGE AND REFLEXOLOGY
In order to aid the healing process and to get the maximum benefit from your treatment you are
advised to:






Drink plenty of water as this helps the body flush away excess toxins and waste released by
the massage.
Avoid eating a heavy meal for up to 2 hours after massage, as blood will be diverted to your
digestion, rather than carrying oxygen and nutrients to other parts of the body and getting rid
of waste. A light snack is fine.
Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea and cola. If this can’t be avoided, please compensate by
having an extra glass of water.
Avoid alcohol (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT) and smoking for up to 24 hours.
Rest and relax after treatment.
If oils have been used in your hair, apply shampoo to hair before wetting it and massage in to
hair, this will help dissolve the oil easier.
CONTRA-ACTIONS
You will feel very relaxed after a treatment, however sometimes either during or after a treatment
you may feel exceptionally tired, dizzy, nauseous, emotional, have a headache or general aches and
pains, experience disturbed sleep or deeper sleep and possible increased mucus in the nose. You may
also feel the need to urinate more frequently.
Although you may not experience any of these reactions, you should be aware that they might occur.
These reactions are normal and are called a “healing crisis” where the body is reacting to the flushing
away of toxins and re-balancing itself. Don’t be alarmed if you feel strange or different after your
massage as these symptoms won’t last long. However if you faint, vomit or have diarrhoea please
seek medical advice.
If you enjoyed your treatment, it would be appreciated if you can add comment on Morton of
Pitmilly’s Facebook page and TripAdvisor. This is beneficial for other guests who come to stay who
are thinking of having a treatment.
Thanks and we look forward to meeting you when you book your fantastic treatments.
Best wishes,
Eileen
