NO HANDS® Back to Basics Massage

Developed by UK Massage therapist, Gerry Pyves, NO HANDS Massage is the fastest growing new approach to Massage sweeping across the country!

It is being hailed as “The New Massage” because it bridges the gap between Eastern and Western approaches to healing touch. Eastern approaches to touch are often deep and powerful but sometimes rely on painful techniques. Western Massage is often pleasantly relaxing but can also be superficial or ineffective. 

NO HANDS is being called “The Gentle Giant” of Massage in that it is both immensely powerful and yet pleasant at the same time. In this, it bridges the gap between Eastern and Western approached to touch.

It achieves this because the whole weight of the therapist‘s body is used through the very soft surfaces of the forearm.


The NO HANDS Back to Basics Massage brings you right back to the basics of all healing touch:

  • Touch that helps you release all your tension and stress.
  • Touch that enables you to reconnect with yourself
  • Touch that re-energises you
  • Touch that detoxifies you
  • Touch that nurtures you back to vibrant health.

Having a practitioner gently and expertly lean their whole weight on you through their forearms is a feeling that is almost impossible to describe, which is why we invite you to…

Take time out….......and......just feel it…


Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage

This is a massage of the head, face, neck and upper shoulders incorporating the use of Tibetan Acupressure points to promote relaxation and balance in the body. This wonderfully relaxing treatment is performed with the client fully clothed and can incorporate the use of oils to the hair and scalp if wished, but can also be given without the use of oils.
The beneficial effects of this very gentle treatment are many and varied but can include relief of shoulder and neck tension; tension headaches; sinus congestion and insomnia. It can help dispel mental fatigue, depression and anxiety and promote deep relaxation and feelings of inner calm.

Hot Stone Massage
This luxury holistic therapy incorporates the use of warm, very smooth, stones.
Warm oiled stones are applied to the body using massage movements. The heat gently penetrates the skin and muscles, helping you to reach a level of deep relaxation while knots and tension are smoothed away.
Depending on the treatment being given warm stones may also be placed on some of the chakra points and/or the client may lie on them (much more comfortable than it sounds!)

Swedish Body Massage
Swedish Massage is also a deeply relaxing treatment, easing muscular aches and pains as well as helping to combat the effects of stress and tension on the body thus promoting feelings of well-being.
The benefits of massage can include increased blood and lymphatic flow, improved muscle tone and alleviation of stress induced ailments, such as headache, insomnia and digestive disturbances.
