The Well

After starting a new job and moving house the same week, I was feeling a little stressed to say the least. My friend recommended that I go to the Well Health Centre and try one of their full body aromatherapy massages.
I’d never really had a massage up till this point as my first any only experience was really disappointing. But my friend swears by them so I thought why not!
As soon as I walked in the smell of oils and the sound of calming music instantly made me sigh with relief. I was greeted by a woman who had a softly spoken with voice which just added to my experience.
After being taken to my room, I got changed and jumped aboard the bed. At first I found it hard to relax but after the first 5 minute I was completely involved and loving every bit of it. I felt really relaxed afterwards and my mind was clear for the first time in weeks.

The Well is a wonderful natural health centre based in south Birmingham and provides excellent practitioners across many and varied disciplines. Their purpose is to treat the whole person in a holistic way with complementary medicines. So they offer things from Alexander Technique to acupuncture and reiki to homeopathy.
If you are unsure about the type of therapy you might need or want the reception has a wealth of information to help you. You can pop in (note they close reception for lunch) or give them a call.
When you enter the centre you notice its calming and therapeutic atmosphere. The reception also has gifts for sale. Established in 1990 but now with a new owner and a new lease of life the Well employs only the best practitioners.

The Well is a health centre on Institute road, offering a comprehensive and diverse range of treatments. Their list of massage therapies alone is as long as your line of chakras! As well as treatments such as acupuncture that you’d expect a place like The Well to have, they also have more obscure services on offer. It all gets a bit CSI when you discover that they offer a DNA testing service…
Although I live at the end of the road and I pass The Well every day, I’d not been in there until recently. Having slept on a sub-​standard mattress that had given up the ghost a couple of months ago, my lower back was in some discomfort, so I went for Bowen Therapy. The treatment lasted an hour. The session started with some questions about my previous health and then the treatment began. It felt a bit like a regular general massage, and didn’t have any of the intensity of some thing like chiropractic treatment. (Ouch!)
After a good night’s I awoke with a fine lower back and Mr Bowen’s therapy seemed to have done the trick. Bullseye.
