Wellness
Instead of addressing diet alone, we take into consideration the condition of your body as a whole. The For Life Retreats wellness treatments offer support for you to rebalance. All of our therapists are experienced and qualified and have been handpicked to fit our high standards of excellence.
Massage
Apart from the common benefits of massage such as relieving muscle pain and improving circulation, massage also assists in soothing anxiety and helps lift depression. We all know massages are incredibly relaxing to the mind and body.
When suffering from digestive problems our bodies are in a constant state of stress and inflammation. This can cause anxiety (a ‘knot in the stomach’) and insomnia. Massage can help calm your nervous system and help you sleep better. It also supports your immune system in fighting colds and flus.
Often one can experience abdominal aches accompanied by gas and pain. The soothing effect of stomach massage can help to alleviate these painful symptoms.
Benefits of this treatment include:
- Alleviating pain
- Relaxing the sympathetic nervous system, thus relieving stress
- Supporting the immune system
- Promoting healing from injuries and chronic conditions
- Assisting with general detoxification of the body
- Improving digestion
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is a comprehensive system of health care that uses muscle testing to identify emotional or physical imbalances in the whole person. It addresses all aspects of health and wellbeing and offers an alternative tool for approaching your digestive issues as it allows direct access to your body’s inner wisdom.
