In Sync at SK ... <strong>Bounce</strong> Review<br />
When I was invited along to SK Clinic +<br />
Spa for a ‘Synchronised Massage’, I was<br />
a little inquisitive about how it could<br />
work, but also really looking forward to<br />
the treatment. This was a first for me!<br />
The massage is performed in a synchronised fashion<br />
by a team of two Therapists.<br />
Synchronised Massage is one of the most<br />
prestigious royal treatments in Asia and the Middle<br />
East, but is now offered as a treatment at SK Clinic<br />
+ Spa in Bury St Edmunds.<br />
This massage popularly known as a “four handed”<br />
treatment; has multiple health benefits, including<br />
muscle tension relief, improved circulation and<br />
detoxification of the immune system.<br />
Due to my hectic schedule sometimes it is really<br />
difficult to fit in some ‘me’ time, so this type of<br />
massage is perfect as the benefits of having two<br />
therapists’ means it cuts your time in half, allowing<br />
you to achieve more in your massage treatment.<br />
For an hour I am massaged all over my body, limb<br />
by limb, front and back, with the only sound being<br />
the swish of hands on flesh. As I relax, I particularly<br />
enjoy the feeling of my top half being worked on<br />
whilst the other therapist uses thumb work deep<br />
into my feet. It gives you more of an ‘all over body’<br />
sensation.<br />
During the treatment I thought to myself, how do<br />
they time their movements? Do they count? Do<br />
they wink at each other or nod their heads? Well<br />
that part I couldn’t see, however in perfectly timed<br />
formations the intensity of the massage began to<br />
kick in.<br />
Each therapist works on one side of my body, and<br />
their hand movements and continuous pressure<br />
are always in sync; the meaning of ‘synchronised<br />
massage’ becomes clear.<br />
As my treatment comes to the end I drift back into<br />
a conscious state as my eyes adjust to the light in<br />
the room. I thank my therapists and I am left to<br />
dress. Whilst I ‘float’ out to reception I carry with me<br />
a calm head and leave feeling utterly refreshed.<br />
This has definitely changed my feelings<br />
about massage and<br />
from now on I believe<br />
two sets of hands are<br />
far better than one!<br />
