Complementary Therapy

Alongside the medical and nursing care we provide for our patients, we also offer a range of complementary therapies which may help promote a feeling of wellbeing and reduce stress.

Relax in our purpose built therapy rooms, decorated to a high standard with relaxation in mind and suitable for both male and female patients.  The therapies currently offered, following a full assessment, are:

•Reflexology which is based on ancient principles and uses massage in all areas of the feet to balance the body's energies, reducing stress and inducing relaxation.

•Aromatherapy which is a gentle massage using individually selected natural essential oils. The oils may enhance body, mind and spirit and may help to relieve stress and insomnia

•Reiki involves the therapist placing their hands gently over the body. It is harmless, does not require faith or belief and there is no need to undress to receive the therapy.

•Indian Head Massage is applied to the head, neck, shoulders, face and scalp. It can be very successful in soothing stress and may give a psychological uplift.

Carers may also be invited to have a short course of complementary therapy. The therapists also hold a Family Day, by appointment only, where the patient and their loved one are invited to come along to receive appropriate therapy, advice and support.

Our therapists are happy to discuss any therapy with our patients and make suitable recommendations.  All of these services are free to our patients and designed to complement an individual’s care plan.

Our patients’ well being is important to us and our complementary therapy team will respect their views and help them to make the right choices.
