The aim of a Remedial treatment is to provide relief and encourage healing, this can be through soft tissue massage and other applications like glass cupping, trigger point therapy, muscle stretching, joint mobilisation, postural taping. A Remedial treatment may include home care recommendations such as exercise, stretching, hot / cold treatment. Pain and discomfort from conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel, stiff neck, headache & migraine, sports injuries and many more complaints can be eased with a remedial treatment.

The lymphatic system can simply be described as the rubbish collector system for your body. If you’re feeling sluggish, lethargic, bloated, retaining water, skin is dull it could be your lymph system isn't working at its optimal function. Lymphatic drainage massage will help to eliminate waste and congested materials in the body and reduce excess fluid. It’s a general clean up for the inside of your body.

Are you having surgery soon or have recently had surgery? Lymphatic Drainage is highly recommended both pre and post surgery. Many patients can experience discomfort, accumulation of fluid and bruising afterwards. During surgery lymph vessels are traumatised and the flow of lymphatic fluid is interrupted which can reduce healing. Decongesting the lymphatic system before and after surgery is important to help reduce soreness, swelling, bruising and increase healing.

So light and relaxing is the hand pressure used the treatment induces relaxation and a feeling restfulness. 

Our abdominal area doesn't have skeletal protection, it is this open soft space which as a society can create an unhealthy image of what it should look like and for women what the area should be able to create, hold and carry. Anatomically if there is a misalignment in the abdominal region (digestion or reproductive organs) it can impinge circulation to the area which may result in reduced blood flow, nutrients and oxygen to your abdominal area. Abdominal massage is such a nourishing treatment, as a massage therapist I gently encourage my clients to allow me to come into their belly space as it also creates a strong sense of relaxation.

Pregnancy and Massage team up wonderfully together. Pregnancy massage is safe and effective during the whole pregnancy using the right techniques and supportive positioning on the treatment table. 

Pregnancy massage has been shown to reduce stress hormones within a pregnant woman’s body and works very effectively on the nervous system to induce a sense of calm, which in turn helps mum to sleep better and help her little human (or humans) to grow.

I feel one of the most important benefits of pregnancy massage is to give a woman an opportunity to completely stop, rest, relax and allow someone else to take care of her.
