MHS Massage Therapy

14/01/2025

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that MHS Massage Therapy is closing. Therefore, I will no longer be offering massage therapy treatments.
It has been an extremely difficult decision as I love being a massage therapist, but it hasn't worked out for me as a business.
I am very grateful to my clients, family and friends who have given me so much support - you have all been amazing.
Life is an adventure - who knows what I will do next?!
With all best wishes, Marie

From the land of ABBA, flat-pack furniture and Volvo comes this popular style of massage. It was developed by Pehr Henrik Ling who pioneered the teaching of physical education in Sweden in the early nineteenth century. His knowledge of anatomy, physiology and gymnastics led him to develop this specific style of physical therapy. It is one of the most widely used forms of massage in the western world today.

The movements of Swedish massage include whole hand sweeps (palms down), thumb rotaries and 'kneading' using the fingers and palms. By working on soft tissue, Swedish massage restores a sense of balance, calm and wellbeing. It also improves circulation.

I use Swedish massage as the basis of most of my massages. It allows me to identify areas of tension and specifically 'knots.' Due to the variety of movements incorporated into this form of massage, it can provide both texture and depth.

Imagine yourself relaxing on a Hawaiin sun-drenched beach lapping up the soothing sounds of the ocean waves - this is the home of Lomi Lomi massage. It is a unique form of massage derived from the ancient Polynesians and more specifically, the master healers of Hawaii. Lomi in Hawaiin, means 'to rub' (or knead). The word is used twice to create emphasis.

The forearms and elbows are used to create long, flowing strokes. The seamless strokes mimic the action of the waves, thus creating a feeling of inner peace and wellbeing.

Lomi Lomi is a magical mix of smooth and firm strokes. So for those who prefer a deep tissue massage, this technique is the perfect choice. Its effects are even better when combined with hot stones (in lieu of the warmth of the Hawaiin sun).

The benefits of Lomi Lomi massage are many:
Relieves physical and mental tension.
Induces deep relaxation.
Promotes restful sleep.
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow.
Restores balance and harmony.

The name Indian Head is somewhat misleading as this style of massage normally includes the shoulders, scalp neck and face.

As the name suggests, it's a massage technique that originated in India. It has been practiced there since around 600 BC. This treatment focuses on massaging acupressure points.

Traditionally, the person receiving an Indian Head Massage (IHM) would be seated and clothed (done without oils). Seated IHM is now popular in the corporate world. Businesses that have introduced worker-wellbeing programmes often offer this practical style of massage to their staff.

To promote complete relaxation, holistic therapists usually carry out IHM as a couch treatment using oils.

The benefits of IHM:
Helps alleviate headaches and sinus problems.
Relieves physical and mental tension.
Induces deep relaxation.
Promotes restful sleep.
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow.

Do you need some inspiration? Wise Words can be found on my social media pages. My pages are all about information and inspiration. They include small feature articles, facts about my business and quotes I like.

My new motto is, 'Have a Go.' Before starting my business I knew virtually nothing about branding, advertising, marketing and managing social media content. But I was determined to learn these new skills.

They say, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks.' Well, if this oldie (I'm fifty eight) can learn new tricks, then anyone can.

So if you are thinking of trying something new, give it a go, you never know where it will take you. Plus, you might have fun doing it anyway.

My name is Marie, I'm the owner/massage therapist at MHS Massage Therapy.
