The first appointment will involve an initial consultation and an opportunity to discuss an appropriate treatment plan. Advice will be given as to the number of treatments likely to be needed. Acute problems such as muscular pain usually respond quickly and typically require only one or two visits. More long standing problems such as chronic fatigue or depression may benefit from a course of treatment. Some patients benefit from input and referrals from other practitioners working within the Clinic.
I use a range of massage techniques and combine and adapt the treatment depending on your specific needs. Sometimes you may need a more supportive and relaxing massage and on other occasions a deeper massage to address specific muscular skeletal problems. Many patients who are experiencing health problems such as chronic fatigue, or recovering from chemotherapy may benefit from lymphatic drainage.
Holistic aromatherapy works on the whole person, taking into account lifestyle, diet, medical history, emotional and mental state, as well as any physical ailments The type of massage and the essential oils used are selected specifically for the individual in view of their physical, emotional and spiritual state. Aromatherapy Massage improves blood circulation and lymph drainage and helps detoxify the body. It relieves muscular aches and pains and stiffness, improves skin and muscle tone and encourages relaxation and a sense of well being.
It also works on a more subtle level affecting emotions and the spirit, enabling the client to be mindful of their own feelings, ailments and lives more objectively, so they can bring about positive lifestyle changes. Aromatherapy massage relieves the symptoms of stiff, tired joints, speeds up digestion and encourages lymphatic drainage, improved circulation, promotes relaxation and improved sleep.
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. The aim is to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body. Deep tissue massage focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or immediately after the treatment. However, this soreness is short lived and you should feel significantly better within a day or two. When muscles are tight, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that over time builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Receiving a deep massage feels good and has a positive effect on our health.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic massage treatment that uses very light pressure and long, rhythmic strokes to increase lymphatic flow and get rid of toxins in your body.
Lymph is a clear, slightly yellow fluid that flows around your body, carrying white blood cells and antibodies to your tissues and organs. These are essential to your immune system and help you fight infection.
Day after day, we dump toxins into our bodies: we eat badly, we live in dirty cities full of pollution, we drink too much alcohol, eat too much sugar and our lifestyles are unforgiving and unhealthy. Your lymphatic system's job is to flush all the toxins away, and keep you healthy.
Lymphatic drainage massage boosts the flow of lymph around your body, refreshing your immune system and flushing out toxins.
Because lymph is so key to keeping our immune system working properly, improving its flow and drainage around the body is good for us in lots of ways. Lymphatic drainage massage can have a powerful effect on our general health:
