Treatments
Holistic and remedial massage
I offer holistic treatments for the whole body or remedial treatments focused on a specific area of your body that is in pain. Treatments will be tailored according to you needs.
Massage is wonderful for enabling relaxation and promoting general well-being. Modern life can be busy and stressful, leaving us with little time to switch off. A relaxation treatment provides exactly that opportunity for both the mind and the body.
Advanced techniques including trigger point therapy and stretching are used to bring increased mobility and pain relief to muscles and soft tissue. Still work and energy work provide the body with a space in which its own healing abilities are encouraged and enhanced.
Improved circulation to muscles and encourages removal of waste products within them. It enables soft tissues to relax improving mobility and easing away pain.
Conditions that can be treated include:
- Stress reduction
- Migraines and headaches
- Back pain
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Carpal tunnel/repetitive strain injury
- Sports injuries
- Sciatic pain
- Muscle tension, spasm and stiffness - increasing flexibility and range
of motion
However this list is not exhaustive. Please contact me for an informal discussion about how massage may be able to help you.
Hot stone massage
A treatment that incorporates hot and cold stones to provide a treatment that is deeply relaxing and therapeutic. The use of stones is also highly effective in the treatment of pain.
The moist heat from the stone encourages relaxation of the soft tissue and thus increases ease of movement. The muscles become more pliable and muscles contraction lessens. Blood supply to the damaged/tense area is increased.
The stones can also be used cold in the treatment of inflammation, decreasing spasm and swelling.
The use of stones takes your treatment to another level.
