Remedial Massage plus a range of Holistic Therapies

Feeling tired, a bit sluggish, wanting to detox?

This the time of year when people are thinking of detoxing, being healthier. With the colder weather, lots of people are suffering from colds and flu, feeling a little sluggish, tired, lacking energy. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised massage carried out by specially trained practitioners, and may help with all of these things plus increasing energy and reducing stress.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is known to be very effective with lymph oedema, swelling, puffiness, fluid retention. It is also very useful for boosting the immune system, encouraging it to work more efficiently. Therefore potentially helping to detox, and to help to guard you naturally against colds, flus etc. It is a very gentle, relaxing treatment, rhythmic hand movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging lymph fluid to flow and be dealt with naturally by the body. No oil is used, unless you request it, and you can remain clothed for treatment. Research has shown that MLD can improve anxiety, sleeplessness, breathlessness and feelings of worry. People who suffer from chronic pain may benefit from MLD. Conditions such as: restless legs, fibromyalgia, sore feet, bad circulation, sinus, head pain may also be helped. MLD has been known to help with scar tissue, softening and reducing it. It can be a useful treatment following an operation, helping to reduce fluid and puffiness from that area.
Please be aware that MLD is not a replacement for medical advice or treatment; always consult with your Doctor if necessary.

Remedial Massage Therapy

Massage delivers a fresh supply of oxygen to your muscles, while eliminating toxin build up, which can then relieve aches and pains. Massage may improve lymphatic drainage, helping your natural defence system to work more efficiently, therefore promoting good health.

Remedial Massage is applying deep tissue and advanced massage techniques in order to create the conditions for the body's return to optimum health after injury. Promoting efficiency in the body's systems, that in turn can enhance the functioning of the whole person.

Remedial Massage can be useful for strains, sprains, achey muscles, joint stiffness.

Holistic Therapy

I offer a range of treatments each designed to give relaxation and a feeling of well-being. There are other elements too, their aim is to leave you feeling and looking better; feeling revitalised and rejuvenated. Leaving your body balanced and invigorated, your toxins eliminated.

I offer profoundly relaxing and therapeutic treatments, each tailored for the individual need, promoting your physical and emotional whole health. Each person is an individual and I recognise that, so am happy to adjust or amalgamate treatments to meet specific requirements

My therapies are aimed at helping stress, anxiety, depression, muscular aches and pains, oedema and puffiness. I have therapies that help to detoxify and to re-balance the body.

Please note, you will be required to fill out a medical history form before treatment. Some medical conditions are not suitable for massage or holistic therapy. Please consult your Doctor if you are unsure.

As with all Holistic Therapies, a course of treatments is recommended. Optimum results are reached when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and gentle exercise.

Feet First

I have discovered massage therapy coupled with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) may be an effective pain relief tool for people with sore or swollen feet and legs.

In my experience I have found this specialised massage to be of some help, reducing pain and discomfort in foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, hammer toes, bunions, circulation problems, restless leg syndrome. Massage often brings help in the form of a pain management, or relief of discomfort tool. Helping to bring a better quality of life coping with these chronic conditions. I have found this technique useful to ease discomfort caused by oedema and general foot and leg soreness. The intention is to reduce swelling and puffiness.

I would always recommend clients seek proffessional help and advice from their Doctor or Podiatrist before commencing any treatment. Not all conditions are suitable for massage.
