A more recent arrival to the programme of activities is our Holistic Therapies, which was due to the aims of Antonine Court; supporting service users as a whole rather than one specific area and feedback from user group. Holistic Therapies usually take place within the Snoozelen Room where staff perform Body Massage, Reiki, Hand Massage and Stress Therapy in a group setting. Staff ensure all equipment; projectors, lights and soothing music) are all switched on prior to the group starting as this provides a relaxing and therapeutic environment, as the projectors release different colours, shapes and reflects all around the room. This exercise helps aid natural relaxation and relieves tension whilst reducing symptoms from conditions, even if for a short time only. Along with healthy eating advice and exercise classes we aim to maintain a healthy body and mind, preventing a re-occurrence of previous ill health. Benefits
