‘’An original holistic experience’’

Is your hectic life and the stress you have to put up with every day affecting your well-being? Are you in pain? Your body is probably telling you that it needs a break, it needs to be healed.

Swedish massage is the best-known type of bodywork performed today, for whole body relaxation.  At Sesto Senso Wellness Care our therapists will treat the muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues of your body, using their palms, fingers and knuckles. Using traditional slow rhythm movements, they will give your body/mind what it needs to relieve fatigue and muscle strain, thereby reducing the effects of stress and anxiety caused by everyday activities.

 With our therapeutic Swedish massage we can make you feel renewed, make tension disappear and help restore balance and health.

 If it is your first time or you do not have regular massages, Swedish massage is the best treatment to begin with.

‘’Bliss for tired, tight and sore muscles’’

Are you in pain? Do you feel your muscles are knotted, tense or stiff in specific areas?  Deep Tissue massage at Sesto Senso Wellness Care is the treatment that can relive you from these symptoms.

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that is used mainly to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries and chronic pain. Our therapists in addition to their palms and fingers, will use their elbows and forearms to increase the pressure on the body.  Using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues, they will help break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce the tension in muscles and tissues. The improvement in the blood flow will reduce inflammation promoting faster healing.

Despite the intensity of the deep tissue massage, the client will mentally unwind and achieve deep relaxation.

‘’The time to discover body awareness’’

At Sesto Senso Wellness Care, our aim for our younger clients (6 – 16) is to encourage a routine from an early age in order to improve their body awareness which is the key for optimal health. Regular massage sessions will reduce stress, promote a healthy lifestyle and boost immunity.

Young people have demanding and stressful schedules which include multiple activities and sports, homework and chores.  Our massage therapists will apply a light to medium pressure massage with Swedish techniques to decrease muscle tension, increase agility, and assist in the recovery and prevention of injuries. Our massage therapies will also improve sleep quality, provide more energy and improve concentration. Potentially you can expect to have happier, healthier kids around you.

‘’Rebalancing the three higher chakras – mind, body and spirit ’’

Although the name may suggest that we focus on the head only, at Sesto Senso Wellness Care we work the shoulders, arms, neck, face and scalp, as we are well aware that tension builds up in these areas due to poor posture and emotional and physical stress. Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic treatment that has been practiced in India for thousands of years as part of the health care practice of Ayurveda. It stimulates blood and lymph circulation, encourages efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the hair and scalp and improves the elimination of waste products. Our therapists will use a variety of deep massage techniques, including circular massage strokes on the scalp, deep tissue work on the shoulders and stretching of the neck.  The massage therapy helps relieve aches, pains and tension in the shoulders and neck, it will clear your sinuses, relieve stress, help you sleep better and improve the texture of your hair and encourage it to grow.

Indian head massage is probably the most accessible holistic treatment as it can be done with no undressing or use of specialist equipment.  You may either sit on a chair, or if you prefer you may lie down on the massage table. It’s all up to you!

‘’The real taste of smell’’

If you would like to boost the effects of a therapeutic Swedish massage, we recommend Aromatherapy. At Sesto Senso Wellness Care we use organic essential oils during your Swedish massage. Our therapists will select the best combination of essential oils to blend with our base oil according to your individual needs. You will be involved in the selection process as you will be asked to smell the various blends.

During your aromatherapy massage, you inhale the essential oil molecules or absorb them through your skin. They will promote beneficial changes to your mind and body by affecting the limbic system, a region of the brain linked to our emotions. 

Absorb through your sense of smell these essential oils to ‘lift’ your emotions, to increase feelings of wellness and to enhance your physical and psychological well-being for whole body healing.

‘’A heated healing experience for a new you’’

A signature massage that takes relaxation to the next level. It is a combination of a Swedish and Deep Tissue massage incorporating therapeutic warm stones. At Sesto Senso Wellness Care we love gathering our stones from our own rivers and seas as they carry the powerful energy of our island. During your therapy session the stones will be immersed in warm water and will act as an extension of your therapist’s hands. The localized heat and the weight of the stones, warm and relax the muscles very quickly.  Your therapist will use both hot stones and hand strokes to manipulate the deeper muscle tissues for greater muscle relaxation, decreased muscle spasms, increased agility and reduced pain.

Don’t be surprised if, as a result of the heat and the energy of the stone melting away all of your tension, you fall sleep during your hot stone massage. 

‘’Your detox happy hour’’

LDM uses light massage strokes to move fluid out of body tissues and into the lymphatic system. Our massage therapists mimic the lymphatic system, employing repetitive strokes at a precise speed, rhythm and pressure, stimulating the detoxification process and greatly enhancing the functioning of the immune system. It is extremely effective in treating Lymphedema (accumulation of fluid in soft tissues), which is often a result of surgery or cancer treatment.

At Sesto Senso Wellness Care we combine the ultimate ‘trilogy’ of body scrub, exfoliation and lymph technique to stimulate lymph and remove dead skin cells in order to regenerate the skin. The application of the customized oil or cream, deeply penetrates the skin, making it feel smoother and firmer.

 The benefits of lymphatic massage for the skin include:

• Removal of dead cells
• Re-moisturizing and softening of the skin
• Realignment of scar tissue after surgery 
• Better Skin Color and Tone

This signature spa treatment opens with a warm footbath of our mixer of salts, herbs, and essential oils, softening and preparing for a foot massage, followed by a massage of the Shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, and ears.

Our De-Stress combo massage will relax the whole body, alleviates pain, enhance blood circulation, relieves stress, treats insomnia, and reduces headaches.
