Sports Massage/Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage can be beneficial to all, not just sports people and athletes.

So whether you are stiff from your last training session, tight from being hunched over a desk all day, or have DOM’s from a weekend of DIY, a sports massage may be for you.

Deep tissue massage or a sports massage is generally ‘deeper’ than that used in Swedish massage or at a spa, but the depth and pressure is tailored to the patient’s comfort level and the aims of the treatment.

Deep Tissue Massage can help to:

Reduce Muscle soreness
Stretch muscle and fascia
Assist circulation and drainage
Soothe painful and sore areas
Reduce muscle tone
Reduce local swelling
Soften the fascia
Loosen adhesions between the tissues
Prepare the muscle for activity
Reduce trigger point activity
Break down scar tissue

Relaxing / Therapeutic Massage

In this style of therapy, the goal is to prompt your body into a deep relaxation state. Rather than working on deep muscular issues or chronic pain, relaxation massages are intended to provide an immediate sense of relaxation and well-being.

The therapist will apply pressure to the muscles and gently work the surface tissue to help the body release the worries and tensions of everyday life. This can provide you with a sense of rejuvenation or a ‘reset.’

Relaxing / Therapeutic Massage can help to:

Improve circulation
Increase flexibility
Better quality of sleep
Minimise fatigue
Reduce stress
Help relieve some symptoms of anxiety
Boost immunity
Reduce inflammation
Decrease swelling post-injury and post-surgery

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy can be both an exciting and stressful time, your body is going through many hormonal and physiological changes. Pregnancy massage can be beneficial to both mother and baby, helping to relieve aches and pains, and reduce stress.

If you have any doubts about whether pregnancy massage is right for you please ask us, or discuss it with your midwife or GP.

Benefits of massage during pregnancy include;

A much needed time out
Relief from muscular tension, cramps and spasms, particularly in the lower back, legs, hips and neck
Increase in circulation of the blood and lymphatic system, which aids in reducing swelling
A reduction of stress
The release of endorphins (the happy hormones), which are passed onto baby.

Massage for Menopause

Massage treatments can help to relieve some of the symptoms and give you much needed self-care time. Menopause massage is a specialist massage, that differs from a normal relaxing or sports massage. It is a form of non-invasive, compassionate touch.

It is very much a holistic based therapy treatment to help women manage both their physical and emotional reactions to menopause. Much of the evidence around menopause massage indicates that it helps to improve relaxation, sleep, immune function, as well as relieving anxiety, pain, fatigue and stress brought on by the endless list of menopause symptom
