THE STORY RUNS DEEP

We have become increasingly accustomed to ongoing pain and aches, our society champions a “soldier on” attitude to health, perpetuated by the accessibility of painkillers. However, the human musculoskeletal system is a complex and interconnected system; imbalances in one area can affect other areas resulting in a cascade of delirious effects when not correctly assessed, treated and balanced.

Massage and myotherapy are time-honoured healing practices that encompass much more than just the manipulation of muscles. Through thorough assessment, targeted treatment and providing resources and prescriptive home exercises I aim to address underlying causes of pain and dysfunction to restore balance, mobility, and optimal function. This integrated approach to health aims to support your body’s innate healing wisdom, promoting holistic wellness on all levels.

MASSAGE

Massage offers a myriad of benefits for your mind, body and spirit.

Massage has numerous benefits including:

Relieving stress and anxiety
Life’s demands can take a toll on our mental and emotional wellbeing. Massage allows space for you to let go of stress and unwind. Massage engages the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the stress response and promoting deep relaxation and a sense of calm.

Improve sleep quality
Good quality sleep is optimal for overall well- being, yet many struggle with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. The release of endorphins and serotonin during massage enhances the body’s natural sleep-inducing mechanisms, allowing you to experience more restful and rejuvenating sleep.

Increase circulation and detoxification
Relaxation increases blood flow and lymphatic circulation. This aids in the removal of toxins and metabolic waste from the body. Improved circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to cells, enhancing their vitality.

Boost immune function
Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making us more susceptible to illness. Relaxation massage supports the immune system by reducing stress hormones such as cortisol that have a delirious impact on immune cells.

Nurture emotional well- being
The power of touch is profound, releasing hormones including endorphins and oxytocin which promote happiness and safety. Relaxation massage provides a nurturing space where you can reconnect with yourself, fostering emotional well- being and a heightened sense of self- awareness.
