"Massage is a tonic; it invigorates, strengthens and animates the dormant powers and energies"

(Dr Stretch Dowse 1887)

Having a massage is the quickest and oldest method of helping to improve your sense of wellbeing. Massage releases tension in the soft tissues which helps to soothe muscle spasm and stimulate the circulation. This in turn assists the immune system and helps vitality.

Remedial massage is an invigorating style of massage using various techniques designed to relax the muscles and relieve tension. It involves long flowing strokes mainly in the direction of the heart to increase circulation and blood flow which in turn helps to improve oxygen flow and remove toxins from the muscle tissues.

It is especially helpful in relieving stiff necks, tense shoulders, and back aches, together with general aches and pains.

What to expect

I will ask you some questions about your general health and then you will undress and lie down on the couch. You will have a full body massage using almond oil unless we decide that it would be more beneficial to concentrate on specific areas of tension.
