Massage is the kneading and stroking of the body's soft tissues - the skin and the muscles - with varying degrees of pressure. Massage is often incorporated into traditional health systems such as Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine. Massage can be a powerful tool in helping to maintain physical health and mental well-being.
The benefits of massage therapy are well documented. Although massage is not
a cure for chronic disease processes, it can be extremely beneficial in
providing welcome relief from the symptoms of many ailments. Massage is an
effective form of relaxation therapy and can ease tension, anxiety and
stress, symptoms that are present in many people, particularly in this
stressful modern age where we all seem to be rushed for time and pushed for
deadlines.

Massage can be a powerful tool in helping to maintain physical health and
mental well-being. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or
suffering from an over-zealous training session, a stressed-out office
worker with muscle fatigue and postural imbalances from spending too long
hunched over a keyboard, or a pregnant mum suffering from pelvic ligament
and muscle strain, there’s a form of massage to suit you. In addition to
completing her general massage and aromatherapy training, Helena has
qualified in hot stone massage, pregnancy massage and advanced massage
techniques and bodywork.
Massage increases blood flow and improves circulation around the entire
body. It can also help to reduce some forms of chronic pain and is
particularly effective in helping to reduce insomnia, depression , anxiety
and stress, tight, “knotted” muscles and spasms and even cellulite. It
releases endorphins (which are the body’s natural painkiller), promotes
tissue regeneration and enhances the immunity by stimulating lymph flow. As
you’ve probably already guessed, massage therapy works very well in
conjunction with Chiropractic care as it helps to promote tissue healing.
Regular massage sessions give an excellent feel good factor as they are relaxing and de-stressing as well as being re-energising and stimulating, therefore can help prevent the build up of tension, anxiety and stress.
