to both mind and emotions.

a calmer response to life’s challenges.

expanding treatment options.

private practice, complementary therapy centres, GP surgeries, hospitals, hospices, cancer support groups, post-operative recovery, drug rehabilitation, prisons

and in the care of the elderly.

Massage Benefits

 

 

Massaging the body releases positive endorphins in the brain creating a state of positivity and well being. It improves circulation and has been found to reduce blood pressure and promote general calm.

 

Swedish / Sports Massage can improve the condition of muscle tissue and reduce aches and pains.  Massage therapy can help tackle many of the physical and mental causes of stress. It has been shown to reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, which is released in response to stressful situations, thus dealing with the root of the problem.  Going beyond the problem, Massage can actually help reverse the effects by increasing production of endorphins (our 'happiness' chemical) which adds to a sense of relaxation and healthiness.

 

The Lymphatic system is part of the immune system, protecting our bodies from infection. It carries nutrients to cells and eliminates metabolic wastes, toxins and excess fluids from the body.

When this system becomes blocked, fluid can build up, stagnate, causing the whole system to become toxic, which can increase our susceptibility to viral or contagious diseases and make us feel sluggish.

 

Massage can stimulate this system, making it work more efficiently, clearing blockages, eliminating toxins, transporting nutrients to cells and increasing the body's metabolism.

 

Swedish Massage can help aid cleaner and clearer skin, reduce swelling around eyes, reduce cellulite, fluid retention and improves skin tone.

It also has a tonic effect on intestinal peristalsis

which in turn helps digestion.
