Massage Therapy

Massage is widely recognised for its ability to help relax and heal the body. Benefits can be psychological as well as physical; patients often feel more relaxed, less anxious and better able to sleep after massage.

As the name suggests, Holistic massage takes into account the “whole” person, so that means looking at not only your physical wellbeing but other factors in your life, such as work, lifestyle, diet and emotional state. Massage can then be tailored to your individual needs.

The aim is to help provide a soothing, relaxing experience, helping to relieve stress and tension and provide relief from pain and soreness. Massage can also help to improve circulation and lymphatic flow (the body’s system for releasing the build up of toxins).

Deep tissue massage is focused more towards relieving chronic tension in specific targeted muscle groups, rather than for pure relaxation purposes. The technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, using stronger, deeper strokes on the contracted areas, either following or going across the muscle fibres, tendons and fascia.

When muscles are stressed they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation and the build up of toxins in the muscle tissue. Deep tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly again.

Ideal for those who compete or train repetitively, a sports massage is a great way to maintain peak performance. The stress of repetitive training and over exertion can lead to build up of lactic acids, muscle tension, swelling and minor soft tissue injuries or lesions.

Massage can help to break down any minor lesions, relieve tension and stiffness and help to improve flexibility. Blood circulation to the fatigued muscles will be improved, thereby giving a helping hand to the healing process and reduce recovery time.

Deep Tissue Massage and Sports Massage services are delivered by qualified chartered physiotherapists specialising in soft tissue therapies.
