SPORTS, REMEDIAL & PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Sports & Remedial Massage

Sports Massage is one of the best ways to help reduce aches and pains, whether caused by sport, injury, or the stresses and strains of everyday life. By using a range of techniques including Soft Tissue Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Muscle Energy Technique, Neuromuscular Technique and Myofascial Release Technique, I will help alleviate any pain, stress or tension in your body that I find.

There are many benefits of sports massage including:

  • Releasing muscle tension
  • Restoring movement of your joints
  • Improving recovery time post injury
  • Helping prevent scar tissue
  • Improving circulation and lymphatic flow
  • Assisting in the removal of toxins
  • Increasing or decreasing muscle tone

If you are training for a particular event a sports specific massage can be beneficial at various stages of your training including:

  • Mental preparation
  • The training phase
  • Pre, inter and post competition
  • Injury prevention
  • Injury recovery

Pregnancy Massage

I particularly enjoy massaging pregnant woman as the results for them can be hugely beneficial right up to the initial stages Labour. I will advise on acupressure points your partner can massage to help ease the stresses and pains of Labour. I have a special pregnancy bolster so you can be comfortable lying on your front, side and back. It is advisable only to have a massage after your first trimester.

On a physical level it can help:

  • Ease and support an aching back or pelvis
  • Soothe swollen legs and disperse fluid retention
  • Boost energy levels and relieve fatigue
  • Lessen the experience of morning sickness
  • Improve circulation and enhance blood flow to the womb
  • Calm and regulate your digestive system
  • Encourage a healthy & strong internal environment for the baby to grow in
  • Prepare your body for childbirth

On a spiritual level it can help to:

  • Promote a sense of well-being
  • Develop the bond between you and your baby
  • Find peace and calm
  • Ease fears and anxiety about birth and motherhood
  • Regulate your hormones and calm emotional imbalances
