Body Wrap Massage

Body Wraps and heat wrapping have quickly become a popular treatment for those that want to help lose weight especially in the belly, abdominal or stomach area, as the results are instant and with repeated use the results seem to become cumulative.

As Balance Plan practitioners, we are not into the Skinny Minnie culture, so it might
seem a little strange that we are offering the Body Wrap Massage for inch loss!

Although we believe in the long term that an individual Balance Plan nutrition and stress management programme is the best solution for achieving a reduction in body fat or a better shape, there can be benefits from a Body Wrap Massage you may not have thought of, and this service is included within our range because of these benefits.  

What are these benefits?

One example  -   there are times when clients ask us for an option for a special event that can offer quick results, but without the risk of adverse side effects, or the long term repercussions to their health often associated with fad diets and misuse of diuretics or diet pills.

Enjoyable and self-nurturing, the Body Wrap Massage ticks the box as a non toxic alternative to the crash diet, which can run alongside other strategies in place.  It can complement other therapies, or be a motivation to start or whilst following the Balance Plan programme.

Another example is that it allows some clients to see what is really there in terms of body tissue, and how much of their existing size or shape is down to excess fluid or cellular toxicity.  As well as immediate increased feelings of self confidence and well being from the inch loss, lifestyle factors that are contributing to the problems can also be addressed to help provide a long term solution. 

The Body Wrap Massage also improves skin condition, leaving skin feel soft, moisturised and glowing. 

If you want to target and reduce inches from those problem areas such as the stomach, hips, thighs, even your upper arms, then the Body Wrap Massage treatment is the perfect temporary inch-loss treatment for you. A unique blend of essential oils is massaged into the relevant areas.  These oils help detoxify and improve lymphatic drainage.  Body Wrap bandages are then firmly applied to the treatment area, these highly-elasticated compression bandages absorb impurities and the compression helps to close the gap between the fat cells. This is how you get the inch loss.

The heat from the bandages opens up the pores and allows the oils to get to work under the surface of the skin. You are then wrapped in a heated fleece blanket and left to relax, before leaving feeling fantastic.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the effect last?

The effect can last up to 21 days.

How often can I have the Body Wrap?       

The Body Wrap Massage system is recommended to be used up to once a week.  Unless it's for a treat or a one off event, a course of 6 - 10 treatments is recommended. The more frequent the treatments the more effective the long term effects will be.

Is the treatment just removing water?

No   - in fact we encourage you to drink water during and after the treatment as this will flush out more of the impurities and toxins.                    

When we remove the bandages you'll see the results immediately! Your skin feels tighter, firmer and looks more youthful, all helping to build up personal confidence...

It's the ideal treatment for when you want to get back into your favourite jeans, that clingy party dress or to lose inches to kick-start and complement a weight control
programme or fitness regime.    

Do I need to shower afterwards?

No there is no need to shower afterwards.  The oils will continue to moisturise and condition your skin.

Are there any medical conditions, which would make having a Body Wrap Massage inadvisable?

You should not have a Body Wrap Massage if you are pregnant or breast feeding, or if you suffer from emphysema or phlebitis. If you have any physical problems or are on medication it is advisable to consult your GP before embarking on any weight control or Detox regime.
