I am a Jing Method© Advanced Clinical & Sports Massage Therapist. Which means I pride myself in taking a heart centred approach to your treatments. Each treatment is tailored to suit your individual needs, using a blend of the best of the advanced bodywork techniques from both East and West including: Heat, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Accupressure and Assisted & non-assisted stretching. This type of massage is perfect for anyone suffering from muscular pain, looking to reduce pain, or increase flexibility & movement and improving general health. Massage treatments are great for those who play a lot of sports, have repetitive physical jobs as well as those who spend long periods sitting at a desk. I treat a range of musculoskeletal pain conditions, including but not exclusive too: Frozen Shoulder, Whiplash, Migraines/Headaches, Rotator Cuff injuries, Tennis elbow, Piriformis Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel, Shin splints, Plantar Fasciitis, RSI. Sprains, Strains, Tendinopathies.
HOT STONES MASSAGE
Heated Basalt stones and oil are used in this massage treatment, the heat penetrates deep into the muscles, relaxing the body to help create a more effective massage and helps to loosen knots and reduce inflammation. It's an ideal treatment in the colder weather where our muscles tense up and for those who want deeper relaxation and/or relief from tight painful areas. This type of massage really helps with tension, pain, insomnia and stress.
Indian Head massage
A deeply relaxing treatment that works on dissolving knots and tight muscles and soothes away the stresses of the day. IHM involves massage to the upper back, upper arms, shoulders, neck, scalp and face, these are all energy centres where stress and tension accumulate. Great for relieving pain and stiffness in these areas, headaches, eyestrain, posture problems, and nasal congestion. Can also stimulate hair growth. This treatment is perfect for those who spend a lot of time on computers or driving. IHM can be carried out with or without oils depending on your preference.
REFLEXOLOGY
You might be worried that you don’t like your feet being touched or concerned that it will be ticklish, but my training means I can apply exactly the right degree of pressure to put you at ease, whilst maximising the likelihood of getting the results you need. Throughout the treatment I will be looking at your overall health, aiding you to achieve your goals by massaging specific reflex points. I will use firm pressure and thumb-walking in conjunction with various relaxing techniques that I have implemented in my practice, to give you the most beneficial treatment that I can offer. There are also reflex points that benefit from the pressure applied during a treatment, these can feel a little tender, similar to the sensation felt when someone massages your back after a hard days work. It provides a sense of relief and relaxation.
