Massage is an ancient technique.

 

Caveman Ug asked his friend Arg to rub his shoulder after a heavy Mammoth hunting session.

Massage has moved on a bit since then, but the principles are the same. Pressure is applied to the muscles using methods of kneading, stroking, friction, tapping and vibration. This provides relief from stiffness, numbness, pain and congestion in the muscles. Shortening the recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic waste increases oxygen flow in the blood resulting in a release of toxins from the muscles

 

There are multiple benefits:-

 

 

 

Massage can be used to treat a variety of problems ( not just mammoth hunting injuries). From the obvious; back pain, muscles strains, sports injuries. To the not so obvious: Insomnia, headaches, stress related conditions. Or you could just choose to relax.

 

Traditional healthcare systems throughout the world recognise that massage can play an important role in treating illness or chronic ailments and is recognised in promoting a higher sense of general well being.

 

A full case history is taken before each course of treatment so that the treatment can be tailored to each individual’s needs. I have over 15 years experience treating people from all walks of life aged 12 to 97 years. People are individual and consequently all treatments are uniquely designed to meet specific needs.
