Alexander James Massage Therapy

Soft Tissue Massage is a hugely beneficial therapy as part of a healthy active lifestyle, both physiologically and psychologically, to athletes and non-athletes alike. It is a safe, natural therapy dating back thousands of years, studied, practiced and enjoyed by many people.

Making a living and making your way in today's world is often no easy task. It is important to set aside time to relax, de-stress and look after your body. My massage service can help and contribute towards this.

Psychological benefits of massage:
promotion of relaxation
lessening of anxiety
reducing stress and depression
improve sleep

Physiological benefits of massage:
stimulation of general circulation and micro circulation
promotion of lymphatic flow
increased tissue and joint flexibility
break down of scar tissue, adhesions and fibrous tissue.

This is by no means an exhaustive list.

In athletes, massage can contribute towards successful training programs, recovery, muscular injury rehabilitation and prevention. I would describe massage as similar to combing your hair, but with muscle fibres.

Massage gives mobility.
