Holistic and Deep Tissue Massage

Qualified through both the Massage Training Institute (MTI) & the International Therapy Examination Council (ITEC), I offer both Holistic and Deep Tissue Massage.

Holistic Massage which is based on Swedish massage techniques is very relaxing through the use of long strokes and shorter, smaller strokes to warm up the muscles and reduce tension and 'knots' in the superficial and deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massages are relaxing & I always aim to work on the knots and ease them rather than simply carrying out a basic massage sequence.

Where required by the client, I am also able to incorporate Deep Tissue Massage which is a firmer form of massage for those who like more pressure and really want me to work deeper into their knots and tight muscles.

All massages are tailored to my clients needs, for example, if you required an upper back, neck and arm massage, then the treatment would be focused on these areas. With all massages, muscles are warmed up to increase blood flow to make them more pliable. The pressure of my massages are also checked with my client and adjusted accordingly.

The benefits of massage are as follows:

Increased blood supply and circulation to the local area as the tissue is warmed up.
Reduced muscle tension, muscle tightness and muscle spasm.
Increased lymphatic flow and elimination of waste materials and toxins.
Reduced swelling (oedema).
Massage lowers blood pressure, promotes sleep and reduces any anxieties or stress.
Massage also brings the body back to homeostatis (balance).
Massage is great for relaxation, it promotes well-being and elevates mood.

All treatments include a consultation and aftercare advice.
