Remedial/Deep Tissue Massage
Remedial Massage is a very deep tissue form of massage treatment that involves stripping muscle groups enabling muscles to relax after being in a knotted, or stressed state, due to injury or emotional stress over a period of time. Treatments can vary in length depending on what the body needs and the severity of muscle damage.
Typically, remedial treatments are most effective for muscle injuries or joint problems, however using a combination of mobilisations and stretches remedial massage may also help with some forms of arthritis. Some other benefits of remedial massage include improved circulation, help in relieving headaches, and improving the clients quality of sleep!
It is common to feel a little soreness the day after treatment due to the release of toxins from muscles that have developed from the injured or stressed muscle group. However, soreness quickly eases, leaving your body in a superior state of relaxation.
Pregnancy Massage
It is very common during pregnancy to develop aching muscles in your back, hips and knees. Pregnancy massage has been designed to ease this aching and return the body to a relaxed state. Treatments use large movements to encourage better blood flow throughout the entire body.
Depending on your term of pregnancy, you will be lying on your side, supported by cushions under the head, between the legs and under your bump! This enables me to massage one side of your back, the hip and buttock area and upper leg. The treatment is then repeated on your other side before finishing with you lying on your back, raised under the upper back and shoulders.
Legs, feet and ankles are also massaged to encourage the reduction of any swelling but this is most effective over a short course of treatment where possible.
Pregnancy massage will leave you feeling very relaxed so please ensure you have very little planned afterwards!
Baby Massage Courses
As massage begins before birth it only makes sense to continue massage after the arrival of your baby…
Baby massage courses run for six weeks at a time. I only have a maximum of 6 babies on any one course so individual attention can be given to everybody.
Through massage you will be able to bond with your baby in a way like no other. You will be able to help colic and constipation, settle and soothe fatigue and maintain that amazing flexibility babies often lose shortly after birth.
Meet other mums and dads who may be experiencing the same concerns as you and share your own thoughts and ideas.
I now also offer 1:1 tuition which gives us more flexibility when arranging a suitable day and time to have the sessions. This option also includes Saturday mornings so both parents can come along at the same time!
