The Deal

Those in need of a restful pause can retreat to this York city centre hub for a choice of holistic therapy. Options include a Thai foot massage which focuses on various reflex points, or an Indian head massage which targets acupressure points around the scalp, neck and face. A one-hour reflexology session sees attention drawn to specific areas on the feet and hands, while a Japanese hand massage combines reflexology techniques with shiatsu.
