 Therapeutic Massage 

​

​

Reduced energy and stress are huge causes of disease and our bodies and minds are affected when we neglect our health by not eating, or exercising properly, or not giving ourselves time to relax and rejuvenate. In this situation, our cells are fighting for survival all the time. These symptoms can improve and significantly reduce, or disappear when you give yourself time to recuperate.

 

Therapeutic massage is relaxing and creates a feeling of health and wellbeing. It helps to reduce muscular spasms produced by emotional, physical and mental tension. Massage improves circulation and muscle tone and creates a deep sense of relaxation, as well as improving concentration, clearing the mind and renewing our energy. Before exercising massage can reduce the risk of an injury as it warms the muscles. After exercise, a massage can remove lactic acid, which prevents tired muscles.

If you suffer from tension, muscle ache, poor sleep, or just want time for yourself then my aim is to improve the way you feel. Massage is a great therapy used to improve both physical and mental wellbeing.

What can I expect in my Treatment Session?

​

 

The massage treatment will begin with a consultation which may take up to 15 minutes (online, face-to-face at the beginning of the session, or by phone).  We will note your medical history and see how you would like to benefit from the treatment.

 

The treatments are practised on a massage table in  a calming  relaxed environment. Depending on your treatment and your comfort you will be asked to remove items of clothing  and will be covered with towels apart from the area that is to be massaged.

Aftercare Advice

​

  • you feel weak and may be clinically exhausted

  • if you have consumed drugs, or alcohol within 12 hours

  • flu, or fever with temperature

  • Osteoporosis

  • Asthma

  • Cancer

  • Epilepsy

  • History of Deep Vein Thrombosis

  • Diabetes

  • Heart conditions (including high, or low blood pressure)

  • Keep hydrated – increase water intake.  This will help to detoxify the body.

  • Reduce stimulants – i.e. alcohol, coffee.

  • Have some relaxing time after the treatment.

  • Have a warm bath with Epsom salts – this soothes muscles and reduces stress.

 

You may also find you experience certain reactions to the treatment which are healthy for your body, although can feel uncomfortable. These reactions don’t last long and reduce over time.  It may be that you feel sleepy, emotional (due to letting go of tension), have increased urination as the body releases toxins. There may be aching and soreness in the muscles (muscular tension release)

 

You will also feel warm, due to improved circulation, more relaxed, have an uplifted mood and improved sleep.​
 

​

The term "myofascial" originates from the words ‘myo’ meaning muscle and ‘fascia’ referring to the thin, connective tissue that surrounds muscles and other structures in the body.

 

Myofascial release massage, often used to treat chronic pain and muscle tightness, is a therapy that focuses on relieving tension and pain in the muscles and the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds them.

 

The therapist uses gentle, sustained pressure on tight, or knotted areas to ease pain, improve movement, and release deep seated muscle restrictions in the fascia. This promotes overall body relaxation and flexibility.
