New medical massage experts at ESPA Life at Corinthia
The 17-treatment-room ESPA Life at Corinthia in London has brought in a new lineup of experts for its medical massage programme, designed to improve both the physiological and neurological wellbeing of guests.
“Modern life demands instant everything – and that is rarely good for you in the long-term,” said Sue Harmsworth, CEO and founder of ESPA.
Located within the 294-key Victorian Corinthia Hotel London, ESPA Life is a 3,300sq m (305,521sq ft) spa spread across four floors. As part of the programme, the spa has brought in four new practitioners who are each experts in different medical massage treatments.
“Our practitioners understand that our twenty-first century lifestyles have implications on our physical and mental health,” said Nichola Roche, spa director. “It's not only the physical support, but emotional support they offer their guests that signifies their success.”
James Mutkin is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and incorporates cupping techniques, deep-tissue massage and acupuncture.
Lucja Maslowska specialises in holistic medical massage, with a mixture of western therapeutic massage and eastern concepts of energy.
Heshmat Nasiri is a physiotherapist and expert in musculoskeletal and neurological therapy.
And Roopjeet Panesar is a master of osteotherapy and naturotherapy who focuses on gently manipulating the spine, joints, and skull. He is also a qualified Kinesio Taping practitioner.
Since its opening in 2011, ESPA Life at Corinthia has billed itself as the "next generation of spa," offering a fully integrated approach to wellbeing.
Last year, the spa partnered with Austrian-based medi-spa VIVA Mayr Clinic to offer fasting and intestinal cleansing treatment plans, a partnership that has since ended.
