Abdominal Sacral Massage has it's roots in ancient practices, it is deep and intuitive and offers holistic treatment . The massage covers the areas from the pubic bone up to the sturnum (where the ribs meet) and the lower back (sacral area) including the glutes (bottom). Concentrating on the core,( centre) of the body itworks to bring energy and circulation to many of the major organs including th

e reproductive organs and the digestive system. It works on major lymph areas and the glutes which contain a large supply of nerves. This can have a major effect on the rest of the body too, bringing balance and often a release of tension and a release of retained emotions/ trauma. Amongst the many benefits the massage has to offer, it also offers an opportunity to breakdown plaques and build up in the digestive tract therefore promoting detox and better absorption. Massaging the lower abdominal area can aid the (female) reproductive system to expel stagnant blood and old cells during menstruation,to re-align the uterus after any falls or trauma, in turn helping the body to have a healthier menstrual cycle and increasing the chances of conceiving and carrying a child to term. The sacral area is also worked on as part of the whole internal system which connects nerves and muscles to the digestive and reproductive systems. Release your potential, discover a neglected part of yourself, reconnect and relax in a safe and comfortable environment.

So many of us have finished a day at our desk/ on a screen/ doing admin feeling stiff, sluggish, or like your body just needs a good wriggle & stretch, right?

That's because it does!

Your lymphatic system plays an important role in moving excess fluid, supporting your immune system, and maintaining healthy tissues. Unlike your circulatory system, it doesn’t have a heart to pump it along—it relies on your breathing, muscle contractions, and everyday movement to keep lymph flowing.

When we spend hours sitting in the same position at a desk, we’re not giving the body as many opportunities to create that natural movement.

That’s why getting up regularly, stretching, walking, or even taking a few deep breaths throughout the day can make such a difference.

Massage is a fantastic addition to those healthy habits. It helps ease muscular tension, encourages relaxation, and certain massage techniques can temporarily assist the movement of lymph.

It’s not a “detox” (your liver and kidneys already do an amazing job of that!), but it can leave you feeling lighter, less tense, and more connected to your body.

So if your work keeps you at a desk most of the day, here’s your gentle reminder:
•Get up and move every 30–60 minutes.
•Stretch when you can.
•Take a few slow, deep breaths.
•Walk or exercise regularly (to the best of your capability)
•Book yourself in for a regular massage.

Movement is medicine, and massage is a wonderful way to compliment & support bodies that spend much of the week sitting aand sedentary.
