FACEWORKS
Children laugh, on average, 300 times a day, not to mention all the other crazy expressions they use as they communicate and play. Thanks to the stresses and pressures of life as a grown up, adults only laugh (sad to say) around 15-100 times a day.
Think how many of the 43 muscles in the face are no longer in regular use as we ‘carry on’ our lives. Think how many muscles are tensed up through expressions of stress, concentration, anger, even sadness. Now think of the body as a single unit, comprising mind, physical, spirit – what affects one part of the being has a direct effect on others and a direct effect on how we interact with the world around us.
Stress tension in the shoulders and neck can create tension in the face and vice versa. Grinding the teeth or clenching the jaw affects the muscles around the mouth, dragging them down. It can lead to pain in the neck, shoulders, even hips and back. Hunched shoulders and a forward head posture create all kinds of other issues and draw the muscles of the face down.

THE FULL WORKS
Suitable equally for men and women, FACEWORKS is Facial Massage which is all about relieving deeply held tension in the tissues of the face particularly, also giving thorough attention to head, neck and shoulders. This give unused muscles a much needed workout, ironing out those that have crumpled through tension, draining lymphatic congestion, promoting the flow of vital fluids and production of smoothing and firming collagen.
It was born as a result of seeing a massive increase in head neck and jaw tension over the last two and a half years… I felt the need to create something specifically targeting these areas to relieve not only the physical, but also to aid the emotional responses to such tension. A difference can usually be seen and felt after just one treatment, bust as the effects are cumulative you will benefit more from a course of 4 weekly treatments followed by a weekly or monthly visit for maintenance.
3 levels to choose from. Each level, in its own way, smoothing out tense lines of expression as well as the physique, sculpting the contours of the face and giving you an overall uplift.
Also available is Jaw therapy, or Temporomandibular Joint Therapy which targets issues with the jaw and the muscles that surround it.
As a preventative and ongoing wellbeing option, regular monthly treatments are recommended.
