THERAPY TREATMENTS

Helping you to Better Health!

Caring for another person can be a fulfilling and rewarding experience, giving a new perspective and insight on life, but it is also well known that caring for someone who is sick or disabled can compromise health and well being and leave carers susceptible to several health problems.  Having time to focus on yourself can prevent some of these health problems arising.

We work in partnership with Volunteer Therapists to provide carers with free individual therapy treatments, to give you a break from caring and time to yourself.  We offer reflexology, aromatherapy and reiki.   All treatments are provided by qualified practitioners in fully equipped surroundings.

Reiki

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of plant-derived, aromatic essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being. It is sometimes used in combination with massage and other therapeutic techniques as part of a holistic treatment approach.

Carers Link are pleased to offer free reiki sessions to carers.  Jan Carroll carries out the sessions every other Wednesday at Carers Link Accrington and every other Friday at Clitheroe Library.  To book an appointment please call 01254 387444.

 

The sessions last approximately 45 minutes.

 

Massage and Hot Stones

Carers Link is pleased to offer free Massage and Hot Stones sessions to carers.  The sessions are carried out by Susan Libberton and take place in the fully equipped relaxation room at Carers Link, Accrington.

Susan offers a relaxing massage which can be offered alongside the use of Hot Stone therapy.  Please note that hot stones cannot be used if there are any underlying health issues.

The sessions take place every other Tuesday

If you would like to book a session please telephone 01254 387444.
