Therapeutic massage is one of the most beneficial ways of keeping the mind and body free from stress and illness.
Stress can leave us tense, anxious and depressed. Massage helps the body relax, enabling it to heal itself by easing aches and pains, improving circulation and symptoms of stress such as headaches, insomnia, anxiety and fatigue.
Tension starts in the neck and works its way down to the shoulders, upper and lower back. Regular massage will keep the muscles relaxed and free of tension.
Therapeutic massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue, the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body using a range of techniques, employing deep pressure to stimulate the body’s movement or more gentle movements to assist relaxation.
Back problems can often result from poor posture. Many people sit in front of a computer or work from an office develop poor posture. Sitting down in front of a computer screen can lead to shoulder, back and neck problems. If you are one of these people, I can help!
After a therapeutic massage, you will leave feeling totally relaxed, refreshed and energised. Regular massage treatments will allow the body to change and heal.

The Benefits of Indian Head Massage
Reflexology is a way of applying pressure to specific areas of your feet. A reflexology treatment will balance the energy in your body and allow the body to heal itself. It works on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to the glands, organs and other parts of the body. A reflexologist uses their thumbs and fingers to manipulate these reflex areas. For example, the big toes represent the head and neck so working in this area can relieve migraines and headaches.
Reflexology is safe for people of all ages, including young children, the elderly and the terminally ill. It can be used as preventative medicine as well as helping with a wide range of conditions.

Reflexology is becoming more widely accepted by the medical profession. In fact many hospitals are now offering Reflexology, and around 60% of GP’s also have a Reflexology clinic within their practice. I am very happy to work alongside your GP or hospital consultant if required.
