Aromatherapy

Relaxation Salon Yokambe

Staff with sports aroma trainer certification offer aromatherapy treatment for alleviating pain in the body.

Sports aroma treatment is characterized by a style of practice performed by paying full attention to various factors, such as the origin and insertion of each muscle and how the muscle fibers run, a major treatment option being "smove technique" that can support post-injury follow-ups and help alleviate pain. These manual techniques provide a comfortable stimulation and lessen strains on muscles that have become stiff, facilitating the excretion of waste having been built up.
Another feature of sports aroma treatment is the use of essential oils, which exert a variety of actions, including pain relief, warming, sedation, purification and immune activation.
Essential oils will be blended according to the physical and mental condition of the patient to help the body get into better shape.*1
