Massage

Massage is a form of tissue manipulation aimed to release, realign and rebalance the muscles and ligaments of the body, complimented with stretches and exercises.

Our specialist massage therapist is trained to manipulate and mobilise tissue to relieve pain, discomfort or to aid you in your day-to-day activities. Massage, applied skilfully, is one of the most effective therapies for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system.

Having regular sessions can have profound effects which range from helping athletes prevent injuries that might otherwise be caused by overuse to a non athletic person who wants a reduction in muscle tissue. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments and tendons, as well as the muscles themselves, which in the long term can lead to unwanted strain when carrying out general activities.

The table below demonstrates a selection of the physiological and psychological effects massage can have.
