Initial Consultation
The initial consultation involves a fairly in-depth look at your medical history and relevant lifestyle factors, to enable me to attune the treatment to meet your specific requirements. The session will also highlight any contra-indications you may have towards treatments or oils used.
The initial consultation is free and can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
Sports Massage
The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Based on the various elements of Swedish massage, sports massage is more intense and incorporates a combination of techniques including stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to acupressure. Your appointment will include specific muscle tests and range of movement tests.
Sports massage is used to treat specific areas of the musculoskeletal system that are under constant stress whether this be through exercise, occupational, or postural use. This treatment is not just for athletes, it can restore mobility and revitalise the muscles and ligaments of every one of us.
Sports massage can be used pre-event to enhance your warm up, post-event as part of your cool down and also during rehabilitation to help break down scar tissue or stretch and lengthen muscles. Most importantly though, a regular maintenance massage will help prevent injuries that cause discomfort and often impede performance.

However, it can also be performed without oil, keeping your upper body fully clothed.

Reflexology
There are reflex points in the feet associated with every organ, gland and aspect of the body. By working over these points with deep compression and different techniques using the thumb and fingers, the therapist stimulates the nerve and blood supply throughout the body. This increases circulation and encourages the body to heal itself and reach a state of equilibrium.
Reflexology is used for the relief of numerous conditions including PMS / hormonal problems, cramps, arthritic pain, nervousness, asthma, indigestion, IBS, insomnia, headaches and depression, amongst others. You will only remove your shoes and socks for this treatment.
