Innovation in the Brighton massage industry

Innovation derives from the Latin word innovatus, which is the noun form of innovare "to renew or change” It’s a key driver for growth in society, government, organizations and businesses.

Innovation is linked with doing things better or more efficiently, applied to products, processes, technologies and even ideas.

Without it we would have not progressed as species to reach the top of the evolution chain and beyond.

Innovation for humans has been constant throughout time but it does vary in its rate of progression (Dark Ages vs Age of Enlightenment) as it depends on certain conditions such as level of education, collaboration, economical and political factors.

For organizations innovation it measured in terms of  efficiency, productivity, quality, competitiveness, market share, and others.

Here at Little Jasmine Therapies in Brighton we are constantly try to innovate and improve, a good example is our newly launched Thai Fusion practice (a combination of Hot stones massage, deep tissue massage and traditional Thai massage) through experimentation we have determined that the sequential combined application of the above mentioned massage techniques reinforces their unique benefits in a manner that is not possible to do on their own.

In more detail the heat of the hot stones causes muscles to relax, thus allowing the therapist to apply deeper more precise pressure through the application of deep tissue massage, manipulating deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being. Finally the application of traditional Thai massage techniques with stretching and pulling exercises assist the recovery of the body from the intensive muscle manipulation applied on the deep tissue massage practice in the same manner as stretching exercises assist ones recovery after a session in the gym.

Off course for the above sequence to have ideal results a very precise sequence and timing needs to be followed that we here at Little Jasmine Therapies in Brighton have developed over time.  

To summarize we have developed a massage technique that it works more efficiently than other therapies, improved its quality component and added value for our customers.

Brighton well placed to drive UK’s economic recovery, says report

Hello Friends i ve wanted to share with you a report from “Cities Outlook 2011"  which looks at the economic recovery across UK cities with some very interesting facts about Brighton. Off course as a Brighton business in the massage and beauty industry we have a great interest in the local economy and its outlook.


"A new report has painted a mixed picture of economic recovery across the UK, but Brighton has been highlighted as one of the cities that is ‘well placed to drive the UK’s economic recovery’.
The Centre for Cities annual index, Cities Outlook 2011, says that Brighton is a city with a strong private sector economy and has experienced limited public spending cuts.
However, the report states that Brighton is ranked in the middle with regard to its welfare bill per capita at £2,731 (highest Birkenhead at £3398), lowest Cambridge at £1,770), although its projected welfare spending cut per capita is relatively high at £157 (highest Birkenhead at £197, lowest York at £85).
The positives are vast though, with Brighton highlighted as having survived the recession with limited job losses (1.3 per cent reduction in the city’s workforce) thanks to the resilience of the service industry.
The city has maintained its third place position in terms of business stock per 10,000 people with a score in 2009 of 402.6, which was down 2.8 per cent on 2008, but the figure was still higher than all cities over than London and Aldershot.

Another plus for Brighton is that it has the second lowest figure of residents of working age with no formal qualifications. At 7.3 per cent only Cambridge scores better (5.3 per cent) in this regard and the difference is stark with a city such as Liverpool that has 19.5 per cent of its working population with no formal qualifications.
