Why massage
Massage is the manipulation of layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function of the body and help promote relaxation and a state of well-being.
Medical research has shown that the benefits of massage include:
It is believed that by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, massage therapy may stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin, helping the body to relax. Clinical studies have also shown other possible benefits, including the prevention of fibrosis or scar tissue, increased flow of lymph, and improved sleep.
Treatments
From long, soothing strokes to focused therapeutic work, plus care for expectant and new mothers. Call or text to book.
Relaxation
Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain and joint stiffness, and studies have shown that it aids in improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of many joints of the body. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation and hypertension.
Relaxation
A stone massage that uses water-heated stones to apply pressure and heat to the body. Smooth, polished stones coated in oil deliver various massaging strokes, and their heat penetrates deep into the muscles — releasing tension and improving circulation.
Therapeutic
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is distinguished from other types of massage in that a semi-constant pressure is applied to the body, often in the deeper layers of muscle, with the aim of stimulating specific areas of skeletal muscle — generally myofascial trigger points.
Therapeutic
This type of massage involves deactivating trigger points that may cause local pain or refer pain and other sensations, such as headaches, to other parts of the body. Manual pressure, vibration, or other treatment is applied to these points to relieve myofascial pain.
Therapeutic
Studies have shown that this massage lessens the sensation in and around adhesions and scar tissue, releases the buildup of fluid and toxins associated with pain and inflammation, clears trigger points and loosens surface layers of scar tissue.
Pregnancy
Prenatal massage helps reduce the back and neck pain and swelling that often accompany pregnancy. Increasingly popular among expectant women, it is commonly known as pregnancy massage.
New mothers
Postnatal massage is just as important as prenatal massage for a new mother. Pain and tension in the lower back and hips are often replaced by pain and tension in the neck, upper back and shoulders. Postnatal massage can help promote structural realignment of the spine, hips and pelvis, decrease postpartum depression, and is especially helpful as a new mother adapts to the stresses of carrying and caring for her newborn.
