The intention of massage therapy is to relax soft tissues, increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the massaged areas, warm them and help the mind and body to relax.
​
Massage can bring relief from everyday aches, reduce stress, increase relaxation, address feelings of anxiety and tension and aid general wellness.
​
In the spirit of holistic practise, I combine massage techniques and tailor each treatment to suit you and your individual needs. I work on the basis that massage is aiming to balance and benefit all systems of the body. No one is as simple as a pair of aching shoulders.
​
When we first meet, we go through a consultation form where we discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and your desired results. Once I have a clear picture of you as a whole person, I am able to tailor your massage to suit you.
If I am concerned about your safety and suitability for massage, or where I am not qualified to give advice, I will always refer you to your doctor or to another trained specialist.
​
Massage is performed on my massage couch or a chair using clean towels, pillows and bolsters where necessary. Hypoallergenic grapeseed oil is applied directly to the skin.
​
Combining information from the initial consultation and from any observations I make during the massage, I try to give you useful homecare advice.
