Holistic Reflexology is a specialised foot massage treating the whole person by using the feet (or hands) as maps to all the organs and systems of the body. Holistic Reflexology is a good-all round therapy and is also excellent for diagnosing imbalances and is especially appropriate for reducing stress levels. This type of treatment is also suitable for all age groups. Holistic Reflexology uses pressure points on the feet and hands, which relate to different parts or organs to stimulate the bodies own healing system. It can help the communication lines to stay open and the body, mind and emotions to stay healthy and works well for most conditions. Studies have shown impressive results when reflexology has been used to aid pregnancy and childbirth. It has also been found to be of particular benefit in dealing with congestion in various parts of the body. When an area of the foot is sensitive or sore to the touch, it indicates an energy blockage in the part of the body it refers to. Holistic Reflexology helps release this trapped nervous energy due to the 7,000 nerve endings in the feet being stimulated. Toxins are removed and homeostasis (a balanced state in the body) is restored, thus helping the body to heal itself and providing much needed energy, through improved circulation.

Holistic Hot Stone Massage with Crystals
A treatment ideal for those people who want to feel energised.
The Stones stimulate the blood circulation therefore aiding in the removal of toxins.
Also ideal as a stress remover especially for the winter season where the heat gives a very warm inner feeling.
Stone Massage helps in aches and pains especially in the muscles as it helps to dissolve any knots and removes all stress in the muscles.
Ideal for people who have strenuous work or people who stay in front of the computer for a long time to release strain and stress especially on the neck and shoulder area.
Crystals remove any blocked energy which is brought on through emotions and stress. The latter can bring on ailments which are easily handled through crystal therapy. This is why we should have these treatments at least 6 times a year.
Therefore crystals work well with hot stones to have a full beneficial inner and outer feeling.
Yon-Ka Sensorial Escape (Phto-Aromatic Facial with Brushes)
TV Programme Ftit Minn Kollox at Soul Solutions Holistic Health Spa, Sunnycoast Resort Club, Qawra, St. Paul's Bay, Malta. Telephone (+356) 270 40100
A truly relaxing facial that leaves the body and mind totally relaxed. A facial with specialised massage techniques through special brushes with high quality, natural fibres, thickness, shape including the length of handle. These all have a significant effect on the sensation during the treatment. The creation of a light and delicate technique in this treatment, introduces soft stunning sensations that bring a feeling of pleasure and lightness while also relieve tensions. The role of the brushes is to perceive stimuli from the outside world and transmit them to the spinal cord and the brain, where the messages are grouped together, summarised and memorised. In fact we can say that the skin is the outer surface of the brain. The massage with brushes and the manual massage act in a complementary manner on all of the skin's sensory receptors. These receptors send nerve impulses which then sends a well-being message to the brain, leading to the release of endorphins. The Holistic dimension of the SENSORIAL ESCAPE treatment promotes a state of deep relaxation, combined with a very pleasant sensation of softness and pleasure that can be felt all over the body. SENSORIAL ESCAPE is a highly innovative, exceptional treatment, consistent with the quality of Yon-Ka, which offers clients of the brand a truly unique experience.

The manipulation of soft tissues prior to, during, and after exercise can help promote physical, physiological, and psychological changes that aid performance and recovery.
Sports Massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a client engaged in regular physical activity. Soft tissue is tissue that has not hardened into bone or cartilage and includes the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and/or trauma and stress. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
Sports massage can be divided into various categories to reflect the goals and intentions of the client and therapist:
Pre-event massage describes the type of massage used as part of a warm-up for an event. Between-event massage describes the type of massage used during multiple events. Post-event massage describes the type of massage used as part of the wind-down after an event.
Preventative or Conditioning massage describes the type of massage used as part of a training programme to help prevent injury, improve general performance and pinpoint and treat any problem areas at an early stage before they affect performance Corrective Massage describes the type of massage used as part of a rehabilitation programme to treat injuries and disfunctions of the soft tissues and the musculo-skeletal system.
Key Benefits of Sports Massage
Sports massage, like other forms of massage, helps improve the suppleness and flexibility of muscles and joints. It improves lymph and blood circulation and assists body systems in functioning at their optimum level.
Sports massage utilises specific techniques for more specific benefits including the following:
Increased healing of damaged or overworked tissue and muscles thus reducing recovery time and allowing a client to regain their health and fitness levels.
Increased performance potential.
Prevents future injury by identifying and treating current muscle weakness, restrictions and problem areas.
Post-event massage techniques help clear out waste and toxins e.g. lactic acid from muscles thus reducing stiffness and enabling a faster recovery than post-event rest.
Specific techniques e.g. cross fibre friction and muscle stripping help break down adhesions that can develop between the fascia of different muscles, thus improving muscle suppleness and mobility.
Enables muscles and joint structures to recover faster after injury e.g. the remodelling of scar tissue.
Improved flexibility e.g. the breakdown of hydrogen bonds between collagen fibres in connective tissue.
Peak performance can be reached and sustained over a longer period.
Improves the range of movement of restricted joints.
