As a remedial massage therapist, I work with you to help alleviate the aches and pains that are sustained during everyday life. Whether you are an office worker, keen runner, pregnant, a new mum or dad, or simply dealing with stress, the principles are the same. A consultation and assessment enables me to look at the bigger picture, ascertaining the cause of the tension, which is very often not the site of pain, and allows me to use a variety of techniques to help improve and restore the muscle function and range of movement. I also provide simple advice for post treatment self care, which can help you maintain muscular function.
A previous keen runner myself, I became interested in remedial massage therapy after sustaining several niggles. When these almost prevented me from getting to the start line, and being saved by my own massage therapist, I learnt the importance of understanding your own body, and appreciated that massage was a fundamental part of prehab (self care to avoid injury).
After practicing remedial massage therapy, I took a career break to have a child. My pregnancy and postnatal experience then inspired me to apply what I had learnt remedially to the area of women’s health, and my business has naturally expanded into this area.
