Massage & Bodywork

Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells. These cells then aggregate together in many different structures to form tissues, organs, muscles, bone etc. Essential nutrients needed by these cells are transported around the body by blood circulating in our arteries. Waste products from the metabolism of these nutrients are eliminated from the body via the veins and lymphatic system. The strong stroking techniques of deep tissue massage has a pumping effect, which stimulates the circulation of the blood and lymph and so increases both the supply and removal of substances at a cellular level. As well as being beneficial to local tissues, the general circulatory stimulation can help improve the health or recovery of most other systems of the body. The veins returning blood to the Heart and the lymph system are particularly assisted by deep tissue massage.

Our massage services include the treatment of injuries with the use of ultrasound and deep tissue sports massage. Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) and Neuromuscular Release (NMR) are also used. Where necessary an individual follow up exercise programme is drawn up for speedier and effective rehabilitation. Oedema and other sluggish circulation problems are also very successfully treated by deep tissue massage of the lower legs. However it is important to address the underlying issues causing the oedema; often these are nutritional.

Partial and full body holistic massage often including a short session of Reiki energy healing. These massages are a great stress buster leaving you with a lovely overall feeling of well-being.

Head, shoulders, neck massage again incorporating Reiki energy. This shorter therapy is especially appropriate for releasing/ relieving headaches and other stress induced symptoms.
