Sports & Remedial Massage
Whether you are resisting the stresses and strains of work or recovering from a sporting event or training session a sports massage could be just what you need.Repetitive incorrect movement, poor posture or just your normal exercise routine can make you vulnerable to muscle damage and injury. Sports massage will help relieve the symptoms and promote healing and recovery. So as you can see, Sports massage is far more than just for relaxation.
Remedial massage is an effective way to target specific pain. Our highly experienced massage practitioners use various techniques to break down bound muscle fibres that can cause aches and soreness. Remedial massage plays an important part in the treatment and ongoing management of soft tissue injury. In conjunction with your personal exercise program you will find that joints become free and muscles become smooth and supple. This makes you efficient, improves performance and lifestyle and makes you far less prone to injury.
Sports Massage? Just what your body needs!
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time of great joy and also a time of physiological, psychological, structural and spiritual change and for many women pregnancy can be a difficult and emotional journey.Your pregnant body will undergo hormonal changes which can cause mood swings and emotional upheaval. Hormones also soften joint-supporting tissues (in preparation for delivery) and muscles can become strained under the increasing weight of your body. Low back and pelvic discomfort is very common as your body prepares for the birth of your baby. An increase in your blood volume can cause breathlessness and feelings of fatigue leaving you feeling drained physically and emotionally.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture and Tui Na have their roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine which is a medical practice that has been developed over thousands of years. While many people are familiar with acupuncture and understand that thin, sterile, disposable needles are used to tap into the 14 known energy meridians of the body, little is known of Tui Na here in the UK.Tui Na is a form of medical massage that focuses on the site of injury and is grimarily used for musculo-skeletal pain due to injury. The practitioner uses techniques like grasping, kneading, rolling, and chopping on the muscles around the site of injury to encourage the body’s natural healing process. Acupressure is often used to promote the movement of Qi and Blood in the energy channels.
Moxibustion is often used in breech presentation and is proven effective at turning a baby in preparation for birth.
Cosmetic acupuncture for facial rejuvenation is also available. Cosmetic acupuncture is a non surgical approach to decreasing fine lines and wrinkles and lifting the skin on the face for a softer and more beautiful look. Chinese medicine is a holistic approach to promoting health so the organ systems involved with keeping skin young are also balanced for long lasting results. Not only will you look amazing, you will feel much better too as the body becomes more balanced and energized.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in mainly tablet form, which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Based on their experience of their symptoms, a homeopath will match the most appropriate medicine to the patient.It works on the principle of “like treats like” - that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to treat those same symptoms in illness.
For example, one remedy which might be used in a person suffering from insomnia is coffea, a remedy made from coffee.
Scientifically it cannot yet be explained precisely how it works, but new research in biochemistry and quantum physics is going some way towards shedding light on the process. What we do know is that a carefully selected homeopathic remedy appears to acts as a trigger to the body’s healing processes.
Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years. In 2000, the House of Lords’ Select Committee on Science & Technology cited homeopathy as one of the five Group One therapies, having “an individual diagnostic approach” along with osteopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine and acupuncture.
Homeopathy can be safely used alongside most conventional medicines.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a safe, natural and drug free therapy that helps to balance the mind and body by massaging ‘reflex’ points on the feet or hands. The reflex points correspond to organs and structures of the body, which allow the therapist to treat the whole body as well as identifying and targeting certain areas.Reflexology has shown to be effective for: Stress, Headaches, Muscular Pain, Fertility, Neck/Back Problems, PMT, Fatigue, Skin and Sleep Disorders, IBS, Arthritis plus many other conditions.
In this hectic world we live in reflexology can also simply provide some precious time-out to kick back and relax. It is a blissful experience that can be used regularly to maintain a healthy state of inner peace and equilibrium.
