As a professionally trained, diverse massage therapist I have studied anatomy and physiology and massage therapy techniques. I specialise in working with the muscular skeletal system which is both the bones and muscles. Massage therapy works on manipulation which allows me to locate origins and insertions knowing how they feel when they are normal and fully functioning and importantly what needs to be done in terms of muscular manipulation to improve mobility. After assessing your problem areas I can then evaluate the best treatment to relieve the pain and discomfort.
I use my in-depth knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology to understand and appreciate what is happening inside the body. This initial in-depth assessment allows me to specifically tailor the session to individual needs.
The aim and outcome of massage is to:
• Positively influence the bodies natural healing process
• Relax muscle spasm
• Release Trigger Points (knots)
• Improve circulation
• Improve mobility and flexibility
• Relieve tension, soreness, stiffness, tightness
• Relieve connective tissue restrictions
• Reduce and alleviate pain and soreness
• Eliminate wastes such as lactic acid and which is responsible for stiffness after exercise.
