Massage
Massage involves systematically working the muscles and other soft tissues of the body to optimise the functioning of the various bodily systems. Massage therapy eases the pain and discomfort of injuries, strains, accidents and illness to allow the body's natural healing processes to work most effectively. It enhances your vitality and sense of well being.

Massage can be a regular part of your health care plan. Massage can work to either overcome of prevent injury and illness. Massage keeps your muscles and soft tissues well toned, improve your posture and re-balance you body/mind.

A gentle Massage affects the nervous system through the nerve endings in the skin, stimulating the hormone endorphin, which helps induce relaxation, relieves pain and reduces stress chemicals such as cortisol and noradrenaline. It lowers the heart rate, respiration and metabolism and lowers raised blood pressure.

A stronger Massage stimulates blood circulation, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and removing waste products. It eases tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility.

Before any treatment it will be discussed which type of massage is preferred or needed. The treatment can then be adapted to suit any particular needs.
