The Healing Room.

Woke up with a stiff neck again?

Check the pillow tonight. Lie on your side on the pillow you actually use, and get someone to look at you from behind, or take a quick photo.

Your head should sit level with your spine. Not tipped up towards the ceiling, not sagging down towards the mattress. If it's too low, fold a hand towel under the pillow for a few nights. If it's too high, take a layer out.

If it's still catching after a week, text Caroline on 085 158 6391.

Most people ask if the cups leave a mark. Yes, usually. Round, red or purple, and they fade over a few days. They're not bruises.

The warm oil goes on first and I work the back by hand for a few minutes. Then the cups go on. Some stay still. Some I slide slowly along the tight bits.

It's a pull, not a pinch. If one feels too strong, say so and I'll ease it off or take it away.

You're face down under a towel, with only your back uncovered. Nothing to bring, nothing to prepare.

Phone or text 085 158 6391 if you want to book in.

If the first step out of bed hurts, the heel often isn't where it starts.

The calf is. Your foot points down under the duvet all night, so the calf muscle gets shorter. When you stand up, that pulls on the bottom of your foot.

Before your feet touch the floor, point and flex the ankle slowly. Then sit on the edge of the bed and rub up the back of the calf. Any hard, tight spots are where I'd start.

If it's still catching, text 085 158 6391 and I'll have a look at the calf.

Saturday, 7.40am. Heat's on and the door's shut.

No phone going yet. The oil warmer is ticking as it comes up to temperature, and I'm wiping down the face cradle again. I did it last night too.

First booking is at nine.

“I’m not sure which one to choose” comes up a lot.

Try this before you text. Press your thumb gently into the sore area for a few seconds. If that pressure feels like relief, deep tissue is usually the better fit. It’s firmer work on the back, neck and shoulders, and we can ease it back if it’s too much.

If your whole body feels tired, or the muscles feel tender before anyone even touches them, relaxation massage is often enough for that day.

Phone/text 085 158 6391 and I’ll help you pick. Caroline

I have a few Saturday appointments free.

The Healing Room is between Gort and Kinvara, if you’re looking for a massage before the weekend is gone.

Back, neck and shoulders, full body, cupping, hot stones or reflexology.

Phone/text 085 158 6391 if you want to book in.

Thai foot reflexology isn't a full body massage.

You can come in normal comfortable clothes. Socks and shoes come off, and it helps if trousers can roll up a little above the ankle.

You’ll sit back in the reclining chair while I work over the feet and lower legs. It’s pressure and massage, not heavy work on the whole body. Some points can feel tender around the arch, heel or calf, so tell me if I need to ease off.

When we’re finished you just get your socks and shoes back on and away you go.

Phone/text 085 158 6391 to book in.
