Stuffing your face with chocolate and turning Enya up full blast is one way of trying to relax, but sometimes it's best to seek out the healing hands of a therapist in order to really blast that stress away.

And you can do just that, with today's fantastic deals from The Cork Centre of Holistic Therapy:

• Pay €22 for a full body massage or reflexology, instead of the usual €50.
• Pay €19 for an Indian head massage or reiki treatment, saving on the usual price of €45.
• Pay €25 for a hot stone massage, getting a relaxing saving on a treatment which normally costs €60.

Each treatment lasts one hour and is carried out in a relaxed and tranquil treatment room in the Centre on Popes Quay.

Opt for the full body massage or a session of reflexology and you'll receive a treatment which aims to relax your entire body. Go for the reflexology and pressure will be applied to particular areas to bring about a physical change in other areas of your body.

Choose instead the Indian head massage option, and you'll receive a treatment targeting your head, neck and face to invigorate particular energy channels, leaving your feeling relaxed and refreshed. Alternatively, the reiki treatment will relax your body through a treatment that is applied on your hands. 

Or indulge in a hot stone massage which uses heated basalt placed on specific points on your back, causing the muscles to relax and allow the therapist to apply deeper, more precise pressure if needed.
