About Massage
Therapeutic massage is a hands on approach used to help you feel better. I will work with you to create a bespoke treatment that is effective and enjoyable. Aiming to move you from pain, tension & stress into a more comfortable, connected & relaxed state. Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, acupressure and joint mobilisations techniques are used during your session.
As a valuable part of your wellbeing, massage therapy gives much needed space for complete relaxation, bringing awareness back to the body and allowing you to be present in mind. It can ease the suffering of chronic physical conditions by soothing aches, giving much needed relief and complementin the work you're putting into your recovery.
Benefits of massage include:
- Supports the body's recovery process
- Pain reduction
- Decreases stress levels
- Increases freedom of movement
- Improves sense of wellbeing and body awareness
- Eases muscular tension
- Creates a sense of relaxation
- Aids restful sleep
What To Expect
During your first treatment, time is taken to complete a consultation to cover your history, get to know each other and gain a full understanding of what you are looking for. All sessions will begin with a catch-up consultation to help plan the session.
I will ask you to under dress down to underwear before lying down on the couch, towels will be used to cover any area I am not working on. Massage wax is used to aid strokes throughout the treatments, either with or without essential oils.
A wide range of soft tissue techniques are used, with gentle movements/stretching. I will invite you take the treatment as a quiet time, perhap practicing mindfullness to help deepen your experience. If you feel the desire to chat during your massage I will offer a listening ear, in a safe space.
When addressing injuries or chronic pain we will do some movement together to help ease the discomfort, I will also offer homecare advice and rehab exercises. We will discuss a plan if I feel follow up treatments will be beneficial or if you need to be referred (Physio, GP, Oesto etc).
Announcement
As of 20th December I will no longer be offering massages in Tiverton. A new and exciting chapter awaits me, as I'm taking the plunge and moving to Australia.
Until this time I will be open as usual.
