What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is an ancient discipline used to improve health and wellbeing by treating the mind, body and spirit. It helps to maintain general health and fitness, complements traditional medicine in the treatment of specific conditions and symptoms, and offers relaxation in our often hectic and busy lifestyles.
Massage is the therapeutic application of touch using a range of stroking, kneading and pressing movements upon the skin, muscles and joints.
There are many styles of massage, and our qualified therapists use a range of techniques, including Swedish Massage, Deep and Soft Tissue Massage, Trigger Point, Lymphatic Drainage techniques and Stretching to suit the clients needs.
What are the Benefits?
Massage therapy provides relaxation and relief for symptoms such as muscle strain, fatigue and stress. Regular treatments may improve overall health and wellbeing. There are many benefits to massage therapy, both physical and emotional, including:
- Relaxation of mind and body.
- Increased/improved blood and lymphatic circulation.
- Relaxation of tight muscles and relief for stiff joints.
- Improved breathing - deeper and more relaxed.
- Improved sleep.
- Improved digestion.
- Improved condition of the skin.
- Creates feelings of calm and well-being.
What can I expect from a treatment session?
On your first visit you will attend a short consultation that will provide your therapist with an understanding of your current state of health and lifestyle, including any relevant medical issues. This will ensure that you receive an appropriate treatment tailored to your requirements.
The practical treatment will last for 25-50 minutes and will require you to be undressed to your underwear and lay down on the therapist’s couch. Please be assured that apart from the part of the body being worked on, you will be covered with towels at all times. This will ensure that you are kept warm and relaxed without feeling exposed.
The massage will include a range of techniques to suit each individual, starting with a warm up to each set of muscles being worked on.
Once the practical treatment is complete, you will be given a glass of water and provided with aftercare advice to maximise the benefits of the massage.
Will it hurt?
Some clients may experience tenderness if muscles are particularly tight, fatigued, stressed or injured. However, the therapist will work closely with the client to ensure that they are happy with the amount of pressure being used.
Will anything strange happen?
As with any therapy that promotes the removal of waste products and toxins, some clients may experience a range of symptoms after the treatment, (lasting from an hour to a couple of days). This could include an increased need to go to the toilet, light-headedness, aches and pains, flu-like symptoms, headaches, vivid dreams or strong emotions. If experienced, these symptoms should be taken as a positive sign that the treatment is working and benefiting the client on the path to healing.
Will I be given anything to take?
You will be given a glass of water and encouraged to increase your daily water intake for the next couple of days to aid with the elimination of toxins.
