Throughout our lives, a caring touch is fundamental to our health and sense of well-being. If we have a bump, bellyache etc we instinctively rub the affected area. If we are upset a friend, partner or relative may hold or stroke us, which can instantly soothe.

Massage therapy, whether it be sports, swedish, aromatherapy, deep tissue or remedial takes the healing power of touch further. The body responds in two main ways. Firstly there's a physical effect, where muscle stiffness is reduced and flexibility in the tissues and joints increases. Then there's a psychological benefit with the release of endorphins (the feel good hormones) and enhanced feelings of relaxation and contentment. This can boost self esteem and reduce stress.

On booking a massage appointment, the type of massage received is tailored to suit you. My clientele range from sports men and women, fibromyalgia, arthritis and MS sufferers, to clients who simply want to feel relaxed and de-stressed. The treatment may incorporate passive movements, stretches, soft tissue release and isometrics. Furthermore, I may advise you on exercises, nutrition and any lifestyle alterations that may benefit.
