<p>For the same reason doctor and dentist check-ups are necessary — for better health!</p>
<p>Skin is a living part of your body (your largest organ, in fact) that defends against environmental assaults and extreme temperatures. It helps eliminate toxins from the body; it heals from cuts, abrasions and scratches like a champ. It’s continually renewing and protecting. Simply put, skin keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in.</p>
<p>So why do you dote more on your hair and nails — two items on your body that aren’t living?</p>
<p>Your skin needs the personal attention of a Dermalogica Trained Vitality Centre Skin Therapist which can deliver Dermalogica professional skin treatments and advice.

<p> Reserve a treatment today at Vitality and get ready for the moment your skin changes….. forever!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Pregnancy Massage</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s so important to take some time out to pamper your self while you&#8217;re pregnant, and having a massage is a great way to indulge while still taking care of your mind and body. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3446002_orig.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2719" title="3446002_orig" src="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/3446002_orig-300x224.jpg" alt="3446002_orig" width="192" height="154" /></a>Pregnancy massage is a relaxing, safe and relieving way to relax and ease pain during pregnancy.<br />
We recommend you wait until you are more than 12 weeks to enjoy a massage and if you&#8217;ve had any complications, it&#8217;s best to make sure you ask your doctor before you book your massage.</p>
<p>Having regular massages during pregnancy can help you to maintain good health, relieve you of stress and worry, and help ease you through your pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>Pregnancy massage has many benefits, some of which include:</strong></p>
<p>*Helps to ease backache, headaches, muscle aches and pains<br />
*Decreases pain in the pelvic/hip area<br />
*Increases circulation and improves skin elasticity which reduces stretch marks<br />
*Reduces stress and anxiety, which will help to stabilize hormone levels<br />
*Reduces fatigue and assists with digestion<br />
*Helps to reduce swelling in places such as ankles, legs and hands</p>
<p><strong>Vitality Centre</strong> have a special adjustable pregnancy massage couch with a supported hole for the stomach to fit, allowing you to lie on your front in comfort and support whilst you enjoy your special massage.</p>
<p>We have many massage therapists that have pregnancy qualifications and experience. They will always make you feel at ease and comfortable during your lovely treatment. Make sure you inform your therapist of any aches and pains, and they will do their best to adapt the treatment to suit your individual needs, as everyone&#8217;s body is different.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2364" title="shutterstock_4504306 (2)" src="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/shutterstock_4504306-2-200x300.jpg" alt="shutterstock_4504306 (2)" width="101" height="196" /></p>
<p>At Vitality Centre we have therapists available for pregnancy massage Monday to Saturday &#8211; please mention when booking that you are having a special pregnancy massage!</p>
<p>And why not ask about <strong>pregnancy reflexology</strong>? Many of our pregnancy massage trained therapists are also reflexology trained!</p>
<p>Gift vouchers are also available &#8211; pregnancy massage is a great present for expecting Mums!</p>
<p><strong>Treatment Cost:</strong> 60mins &#8211; £45</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>About Deep Tissue Massage</strong></p>
<p>Deep Tissue is a deeper style of massage aimed at releasing tension, aligning muscle fibers, as well as lengthening and releasing tight muscles.<br />
Deep tissue is an invigorating massage technique that works all areas of the body where there is tension.</p>
<p><strong>Will it hurt?</strong></p>
<p>Your therapist will work within your pain threshold to ensure you are not tense throughout the treatment. If you have any concerns, just let your therapist know.</p>
<p>All of our massage therapists are able to tailor your massage to suit your own individual needs, as well as giving you the relevant advice.</p>
<p><strong>How long will it be until I feel the results of a DT Massage? </strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to be realistic about what a deep tissue massage can achieve for you. It can take time to release tension from muscles, especially if the problem is chronic or long term. This is best achieved with an integrated program of massage or osteopathy coupled with appropriate exercise and or stretching techniques.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1777" title="Reflexology Wandsworth" src="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/foot_reflexology_2ND-300x292.jpg" alt="foot_reflexology_2ND" width="120" height="122" />Welcome to the Vitality Centre in Wandsworth, Reflexology treatment.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Reflexology</strong> is a therapy in which pressure and specific massage techniques are applied to reflex points on the feet and hands. It is based on the principle that these reflex points correspond in their arrangement to the structure of the body and relate to the organs, glands and systems within.</p>
<p>Reflexology has roots in many cultures. The earliest recording of a therapy in the form of reflexology is found in an Egyptian tomb drawing, date 2330 BC.</p>
<p>Reflexology is a very relaxing and rewarding treatment suitable for people of all ages.</p>
<p><strong>By accessing these reflex points reflexology may be able to:</strong></p>
<p>•    Encourage the body towards self-healing<br />
•    Maintain good health as a help towards preventing illness,<br />
•    Assist with the elimination of toxins and impurities to help cleansing,<br />
•    Revitalise energy,<br />
•    Improve circulation.<br />
•   Migraines &amp; Headaches<br />
•   Constipation<br />
•   Menstrual Problems<br />
•   Stress / Anxiety<br />
•   Insomnia / Depression<br />
•   Infertility Problems<br />
•   Aches and Pains / Back Pain<br />
•   Pregnancy Symptoms<br />
•   High Blood Pressure<br />
•   Hormone Imbalance</p>
<p><strong>ABOUT THE TREATMENT</strong></p>
<p>Your first treatment will consist of a detailed consultation to understand your medical history and to provide insight into any present conditions. The course of treatment varies from person to person.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2215" title="jp2006_0003834" src="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/jp2006_0003834.jpg" alt="jp2006_0003834" width="113" height="170" /></p>
<p>After the treatment a feeling of total relaxation and serenity is generally experienced as reflexology encourages the body’s energies to harmonize and flow more freely. It is normal if you experience very mild symptoms after the treatment. This is a healing reaction, which lasts for a very short time as the body is eliminating toxins.</p>
<p><strong>Reflexology is available Mon-Sat at Vitality Centre, please call or email reception to check availability.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Treatment Cost:</strong> £45 &#8211; 60mins</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specific form of very light rhythmical massage that encourages the stimulation of the lymphatic system.</p>
<p>The role of the lymphatic system is vast and hugely important. The lymphatic system transports nutrients to cells and eliminates metabolic wastes, toxins and excess fluids from the body. MLD has a significant role with detoxifying the body and stimulating the vital immune defences. This is important with the busy lives we lead today and as our immune systems are continuously being challenged.</p>
<p><strong>Congestion in the lymph system can result in:</strong></p>
<p>•    Frequent colds<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2236" title="PAA210000029" src="http://www.vitality-centre.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/PAA210000029.jpg" alt="PAA210000029" width="170" height="120" /><br />
•    Persistent sinusitis, catarrh<br />
•    Visible cellulite<br />
•    Fluid retention e.g: puffy ankles, legs, eyes, bloating<br />
•    Spotty skin</p>
<p>MLD can also help tone the skin and reduce puffiness around the eyes.</p>
<p>A series of treatments is recommended in conjunction with changes in diet, life style and most importantly with increasing the daily intake of water. Dehydration has a huge impact on the sluggishness of the lymphatic system.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment Cost:</strong> £45 &#8211; 60mins</p>
