I believe that therapeutic massage requires more than a 'one size fits all' approach and that every client has unique needs which require a personalised approach. Whether your need is to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain relief from chronic pain, massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being.
I offer a variety of massage and bodywork modalities and invite you to explore my list of therapies. You can now receive your massage treatments in complete comfort with the interlocking body bolster cushion. I can provide treatment for specific soft tissue disorders or dysfunctions that will assist you in your recovery and help to support you to stay at or return to work as soon as it is safe for you to do so.

What is massage therapy
Report
With the growth in the popularity of massage, people may be wondering what a massage does. Massage is not a new revolutionary way to feel good; the roots of massage date back 1000's of years. Before modern medicine our ancestors also faced the stress of life but they relied on natural instincts. They used hot mineral waters to soak the body and pressing on soreness in injured areas made it feel better, but what did this really do?
Remedial Massage
Report
Remedial massage generally works deeper, through the muscle layers, creating a longer lasting relaxing effect. The basic methods of Swedish massage are used along with more advanced techniques such as joint mobilisations and specific stretches.
Ideally remedial massage should be used as a preventative form of treatment removing pain and dysfunction, creating balance, relieving stress and generally promoting a sense of deep relaxation and well-being.However, if you have an injury remedial massage works extremely well in the treatment of a wide variety of muscle and skeletal problems such as upper back and shoulder pain, stiff neck, lower back pain or muscle cramps.

SLM Bodywork
Report
SLM stands for Steve Lockhart's Myotherapy; it is a hands-on form of bodywork influenced largely by ancient Eastern healing techniques. SLM Bodywork involves manipulating the body's soft tissue using a unique combination of acupressure, myotherapy and massage techniques. The length and function of the muscles is restored and the body balanced, allowing it to function normally.
Sports Massage
Report
Sports massage is a type of massage that is specifically tailored to sporting injuries or disorders. Contrary to its name, sports massage is not only for athletes or those that exercise heavily, it is of benefit to anyone that exercises, even if it is only mild exercise such as regular walking. It can play an important role in preventing injury as well as helping to enhance performance.
