A little stress can make our lives more exciting. But too much can lead to health problems like fatigue, digestive upsets, headaches, back pain etc.

Body Massage is a technique designed to ease muscle tension, improve your circulation and promote relaxation in both body and mind. It is good for stress relief, improved circulation and muscle tension.

Deep Tissue Massage gives a deeper involvement with the tissue layers of the body, and gives results varying from relaxation, to breakdown of muscle tension, to a full range of movement being helped to be restored.

Reflexology uses finger manipulation techniques applied to the feet and/or hands, also leaving the client with a great sense of well being. It can help digestive problems, migraine, arthritis, hormonal imbalances and infertility.

Sports Massage is for anyone before or after a work-out or sports activity.

Pre-Event: Massage assists in warming up the clients body increasing blood supply to the muscles; aiding joint and muscle mobility leaving the client feeling great and ready for the task at hand.

Post Event: Massage Helps to get adrenaline levels back to normal , muscle to recover faster and reduces the chances of injuries.

Pallve the Osteopath uses a structural approach including soft tissue techniques, articulations and joint mobilisations reinforced by postural advice and home exercises.

Reflexology
Reflexology treats problems by applying pressure to reflex areas in the feet that correspond to different parts of the body. This brings deep relaxation allowing the body’s own healing processes to be stimulated, helping you to return to a state of balance and well-being.

It is a deeply relaxing and luxurious treatment for both mind and body and effective for relieving symptoms of stress.

The holistic approach takes into account the person’s whole being, and not just the physical symptoms. It is a soothing and comforting treatment using the hands to aid relaxation, promote suppleness of the muscles, improve circulation and reduce stress.

In fact, since 75% of disease is thought to be caused by stress, massage may well improve your health. It encourages improved circulation, aids digestion, waste removal and neural communication. Massage invigorates and relaxes thus preventing spasm and stiffness and promotes cell regeneration. Massage is safe, non-invasive and a natural therapy. Most people, from children to adults, can benefit from massage treatments.

Essentially, massage benefits the whole body, both physiologically and psychologically.

Again I thank you and would have no hesitation in recommending your practice to anybody.” I. Jennings
