Why Massage?

We all need some time nowadays to escape from the growing challenges and stresses that come into our lives. Time for ourselves, letting our mind slow down, and a calm place to allow us to enter a state of tranquillity.

​

Through talking to you during the consultation, I will tailor your massage treatment personal to your needs.

Massage is becoming an increasingly popular form of holistic and pro-active complementary therapy, enjoyed by millions of people every day. It effectively reduces stress levels, stimulates the body's self-healing processes and helps replenish our vital energy, restoring equilibrium and balance.

​

Enjoying a massage regularly (such as weekly or monthly) may help repair the body, relax and refresh the mind and enhance spirits, so that we are more able to face the challenges of life with a renewed sense of confidence and ease. If the pressures of life are not released through natural therapies, such as massage, then they can gradually have a more detrimental affect on the person as a whole.

​

Depending upon the choice and combination of massage techniques, the body can either be relaxed or stimulated, making it a useful and enjoyable form of therapy. Massage may alleviate stresses and strains on both the body and mind at once and the effects can often be felt quite instantly after a massage session.

​

People also use massage as an important complimentary therapy in helping to relieve various ailments and unwanted behaviours in their lives.

​

Massage may help with many, including the following:

• Anxiety and Depression: helps relieve the various symptoms of anxiety, depression and alleviate the psychological strain caused.

• Insomnia and bad sleeping patterns: calms the racing mind down and makes the body feel naturally tired and ready for sleep.

• Lack of concentration and short term memory: helps to calm the mind and senses, enabling the mind to operate in a more focused way.

• Cutting down on Alcohol: as a compliment to cutting down alcohol consumption and counseling/support, massage may clear toxins from the body, aid restful sleep and alleviate depression.

• Blood Pressure: can help to lower high blood pressure.

• Painful areas that cannot be moved: may relieve strain on muscles and joints in the body and speed up their repair. Causes can be bad posture, awkward movement or minor accidents. Massage may also help prevent Repetitive Strain Injury.
