Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage combines the benefits of Swedish/Holistic massage and Deep Tissue massage, promoting relaxation and relieving stress and tension, with firmer pressure to target problematic areas, help refresh and relax muscles, increase blood flow and promote healing.

This type of massage is good for you if you suffer from:

• Back, neck, shoulder and other muscular stiffness, aches & pains
• Stress and tension
• Anxiety and low mood
• Headaches
• Insomnia, sleep problems and fatigue
• Recovery from illness or injury

Massage should not be performed when there is fever, infection, open wounds, circulatory problems such as thrombosis, bleeding disorders or tumours in the area being massaged. Please ask if unsure.

Therapeutic massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This adjustment of pressure makes it an ideal massage for
relaxation as well as pain relief.

All treatment sessions are personalised and during the session you will be asked about the pressure being applied.

Your first treatment will usually be 60 minutes, including a full confidential consultation.

Further sessions can be booked for 45, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your needs.

Therapeutic massage is generally comfortable and soothing. If deeper pressure is needed in some areas, when muscles are tense, this can feel painful, but we will always adjust the pressure to your bearable limits.
