 
Our selection of Natural Therapy Treatments to bring you
health and well-being
With Cedarvale's strong focus on health education and health
recovery, all treatments performed at our Centre have a therapeutic
benefit as their primary aim. Accordingly, purely beauty-based
treatments such as manicures/pedicures, waxing, etc. are not
offered. However, many of our treatments have the dual
benefit of imparting a deeply relaxed, "pampered" feel for you to enjoy.
For treatments included in your package, up to one hour is
allowed for each one. Treatments of less than 30 minutes are
counted as half a treatment. Treatments of 30 minutes or longer
are counted as one treatment.
Although treatments are often scheduled as part of a
particular program, substitutions of other treatments may be discussed
and/or recommended during your initial health consultation (if
included) or adjusted as necessary throughout the duration of your
program.
Treatments for our live-in guests are generally scheduled
between 2:30 and 6:30pm. Consequently, treatments for day guests
are generally scheduled to be concluded by 1:00pm, but other times can
be arranged on request and are subject to availability.
Treatments are not provided on Saturdays.
If desired, additional treatments for any package may be
purchased at any time (Sun-Fri) according to the prices shown below.
Depending on the physiological effect which our therapists aim
to produce, certain treatments below may be combined in order to
achieve a particular healing objective. If a combined treatment
lasts more than 1 hour, the treatment will be counted accordingly as
either 1.5 or 2 treatments.
Massage:
Remedial Massage — 60 min ($80)
This massage is for those who prefer a firm technique which
concentrates on working deep tissue and muscle layers to relieve muscle
strain, tension, damage and congestion. Problem areas may be
focused on more specifically if desired.
Swedish Style — 60 min ($70) -or- 30 min ($40)
A full body massage using Swedish-style
techniques aimed at inducing a state of total relaxation. This
massage technique works the soft tissue and muscles using more
gentle, flowing strokes. Back, legs, arms, neck and
shoulders are thoroughly worked to relieve muscular aches and pains.
Hot Pack Massage — 60 min ($70)
A unique massage that combines the muscle
relaxant and circulation enhancing benefits of hot packs, followed by a
deep, remedial-style massage. Problem areas may be focused on if
needed or desired. Also great for inducing relaxation and
relieving
sore/tight
muscles.
Lymphatic Drainage — 80 min ($120)
Using our own special aromatherapy blend
specifically designed to enhance movement of lymph fluid, the therapist
uses long light strokes over
the entire body to stimulate the lymphatic system. This aids
detoxification, reducing puffiness and fluid build-up; especially
beneficial for heavy, tired legs, and certain medical conditions.
Beyond its therapeutic benefits, many find this massage treatment
extremely relaxing due to the very soft, flowing nature of the massage
strokes.
Upper Body — 45 min ($55)
Many of us carry stress and tension in our
upper body. This massage treatment concentrates on easing this
tension from the shoulders, back,
neck, and chest. Your therapist works using a combination
of deep tissue techniques and Swedish stretches to leave you relaxed
and relieved.
Foot Massage — 20 min ($33)
Relaxation can be a powerful healer.
And there's nothing quite as relaxing as having
your feet massaged. Sit back, listen to quiet music, and feel
your tension melt away while aches and soreness disappear.
Skin Treatments:
Deluxe Skin Indulge — 60 min ($70)
A neck, shoulder and facial massage takes
you to a state of deep relaxation and releases powerful 'feel-good'
hormones called endorphins. Our own freshly prepared, special
blend face mask is then applied. The natural white clay in the
mask imparts a wonderful detoxifying effect, while the ground linseed
and essential oils nourish your skin. Your relaxed state is taken
to the next level during a 20-minute foot massage before the face mask
is removed at the end of the treatment. You will be left feeling
deeply relaxed and rejuvenated, and your skin wonderfully smooth and
refreshed! Suitable for all skin types.
Clay Body Wrap — 60 min ($70)
Clay is a complex mixture of active minerals
which have the ability to draw impurities from the body into the
clay. Warm, silky-smooth, clay is applied over the entire
body. The clay draws and removes impurities and toxins through
the
skin, can help balance mineral deficiencies, and impart
antiseptic/cleansing properties all while you enjoy the wonderful,
relaxing effect and warmth of the clay wrap. In indispensible
treatment in any cleanse/detox regimen. But don't be surprised
if you fall asleep!
Skin Silk — 45 min ($55)
An invigorating salt glow followed by an
aqua massage and rounded off with a short massage of luxurious body
butter that leaves your skin nourished and silky soft.
Hydrotherapy
Treatments:
Russian Steam Bath with Aqua Massage — 60 min ($70)
This highly effective treatment has a broad
range of therapeutic uses. While accelerating your body's
cleansing and detoxification processes, it also boosts immune function,
metabolism and circulatory function. A mini-sauna is given with
the pleasant advantage of
having the head free of steam vapours.
Fluids are given throughout the treatment, while the face and head are
kept cool once perspiration begins.
Depending on the desired physiological effect, your therapist may
include two or more cycles of contrast showers during the
treatment. The treatment concludes with an invigorating
combination of a cool
shower with contrast (hot/cool) aqua massage.
Hot Pack Super Treatment — 60 min ($70)
This treatment is excellent for localised
conditions where there is congestion, pain, inflammation, cramping or
spasm. It is also highly beneficial for certain specific organ
conditions (e.g., liver or kidney). A series of moist, hot packs
are applied for several minutes to the affected area with intervals of
brief, vigorous applications of cold. This treatment has been
proven effective for a range of conditions such as joint/nerve pain,
muscle tension and cramping, chest condtions, head congestion and
sluggish liver function.
Relaxing Sheet Wrap — 60 min ($65)
To begin your treatment, a salt glow
stimulates greatly increased blood flow whilst exfoliating the
skin. You are then cocooned in a cold
sheet and an outer blanket is wrapped around the body. The
initial
stimulating reaction of the cold sheet is quickly followed by a
secondary relaxing effect
as your body warms the sheet. This treatment is excellent for the
relief of insomnia,
restlessness, nervous exhaustion, indigestion, and fever. Also
highly beneficial as a cleansing treatment due to its ability to remove
large amounts of impurities from the body via the skin.
Ice Massage — 20 min ($20)
This treatment involves the localised
application of ice in a
constantly rotating motion. Blood flow is initially decreased,
then
increases in the affected area making this an excellent treatment for
painful, inflamed joints and
muscles (e.g., bursitis, sciatica, back pain, and other muscle and
joint injuries).
Hot Foot Bath — 45 min ($55)
Beneficial and quite versatile, the Hot Foot
Bath treatment can be used therapuetically for a wide range of
conditions. While in a seated position, the body is wrapped in a
sheet and
blanket whilst the feet are kept immersed in
a tub of hot water. Reflexive relationships between the
circulation of the feet and other areas of the body (e.g., lungs,
brain, pelvic region, etc.) enable effective relief of congestion from
these organs using this treatment. The attending therapist
ensures that your
head is kept cool and plenty of water is given throughout.
Mild Fever Therapy — 60 min ($90)
Fever is the body's natural response to
infection
and inflammation. The aim of fever therapy is to induce a mild
fever
condition in which the body reacts in a number of ways. For
example, the number of white blood cells is increased as is their rate
of movement and activity. The flush of blood to the skin helps
facilitate waste removal and allows more effective blood purification
by immune cells located in the tissues.
Fever therapy is a supervised treatment
where a person reclines in a hot spa bath. The body temperature
is gradually raised to a mild fever state and is held there for up to
45 minutes by your therapist whilst body
temperature and pulse are monitored regularly. A fan blowing cool
air and
cool compresses to the head help to make the treatment more
comfortable. Water or herb teas are given to replace body fluids
lost via
perspiration. The bath is then cooled to bring the body
temperature
back to normal.
Conditions indicated for this type of
treatment include chronic fatigue syndrome, glandular and Ross River
Fever,
candidiasis, cancer, inflammatory bowel conditions such as ulcerative
colitis,
arthritis, lupus, rheumatoid type conditions, influenza, colds, herpes,
shingles and impetigo.
Mineral Soak — 50 min ($55)
In this relaxing treatment, warm extracts from the famous
Neyharding Moor of Austria are applied to the skin before entering the
bath. You are then left to soak up the benefits of the herbs and
minerals
naturally contained in the extract, leaving your skin re-nourished and
feeling great. This popular treatment can help balance mineral
deficiencies, aid healing of skin conditions and sooth the nervous
system. A great therapeutic treatment with a pampering feel!
Aqua Massage — 15 min ($22)
Circulation is stimulated using high-pressure, alternating hot
and cold spray jets. Leaves your muscles feeling invigorated, yet
relaxed. Can assist in the treatment of cellulite.
Self-Spa Bath — 30-40 min ($15)
Listen to quiet music as you enjoy a relaxing spa bath in
either our deep, single-person spa bath or in our shell spa bath.
Specially designed for those with mobility difficulties, the shell spa
bath simply swivels under you while you remain seated in a stationary
position. Complimentary candles, bath bombs, and epsom salts
provided.
Combination Treatments:
Russian Steam plus 60 minute Swedish Massage — 120 min ($145)
First, muscles are warmed and flushed with fresh blood as a
result of the
steam bath. This is then followed by a Swedish massage. A
great way to feel
totally relaxed and invigorated!
Power Glow — 90 min ($125)
Includes Russian steam bath, salt glow, Aqua massage with jet
showers, and luxury body butter. Leaves you relaxed, refreshed,
and
silky smooth.
