Currently, as well as 'Holistic Massage' treatments, I also offer 'Sport and Remedial Massage' treatments.
So, what is Sport and Remedial Massage?
It is the manipulation of soft tissue (muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendons for example) to help to relieve pain which may be caused by many things.
The causes can be:
> Physical injury (even a historic injury)
> Psychological stress
> Lack of physical movement
> Overuse/underuse of certain muscles which can develop compensatory patterns (such as when sitting at a desk for hours or long distance driving)
During the initial consultation, I will talk to you and listen to you in order to ascertain what may be the cause of your issue. Everyone is different and it is frequently a variety of factors that come into play.
I utilise various hands on techniques to help to relieve your pain, such as deep tissue massage, effleurage, muscle energy techniques, stretches and positional release to name a few and I also conduct postural assessments and mobility tests before your treatment.
After the treatment I provide you with thorough after care advice in order to help you to make sure the problem doesn't return and to aid you in your recovery.
Often, one session isn't enough to help you to fully recover though, but I will let you know after the first session as to if further treatments are needed and the frequency and number of them.
