Hands, arms, head and face are often areas that hold a surprising amount of tension.
From long hours on phones and computers to everyday stress carried in the jaw, neck and scalp, these areas can become tight and tired without people fully noticing it.
This focused aromatherapy treatment with Anne-Marie Walker at Acorn Natural Health Centre in Heanor is designed to gently release that build-up while also supporting relaxation through calming, skin-nourishing blended creams.
This is a tailored treatment focusing on areas that are often overused but under-treated.
It combines gentle massage techniques with aromatherapy-inspired blended crème to help soften tension, improve comfort and support a sense of calm.
The treatment can be carried out either seated or reclined, depending on preference, and is suitable for wearing a vest top or comfortable clothing.
It is a focused treatment rather than a full-body massage, designed specifically for upper body and facial tension.
This massage works across:
• hands and fingers
• forearms and upper arms
• shoulders and neck
• scalp and head
• facial muscles and jaw area
Each area is treated with care and attention, using slow, controlled techniques to encourage physical ease and relaxation.
This treatment may help to:
• reduce tension in the hands and forearms
• ease tightness in the neck and shoulders
• relax facial muscles and jaw tension
• support relief from screen-related strain
• encourage a sense of mental calm
• improve overall feelings of comfort and relaxation
• support general stress reduction
Many people find that facial and scalp work in particular helps them feel clearer and more settled afterwards.
You will be made comfortable either seated or lying down depending on what feels best for you.
Anne-Marie uses a blended aromatherapy crème designed to moisturise and support the skin while allowing smooth, gentle massage movements.
The treatment is unhurried, allowing time for each area to be worked in a steady and consistent way.
There is no need for complex preparation. Simply arrive and take a seat.
This massage may be suitable if you:
• spend long hours on screens
• experience tension in the jaw, neck or shoulders
• use your hands repetitively for work or daily tasks
• feel mentally tired or overstimulated
• prefer a shorter, focused treatment rather than full body massage
If this is your first treatment you will need to book in for a free 15 minute consultation prior to your treatment.
