Massage
Massage Therapy involves the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress. Additionally, it improves the function of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injuries and illnesses.
There are many forms of massage including:
- Swedish - The relaxing massage.
- Sports Massage - This involves focused massage on the muscle groups relevant to sport performance.
- Pressure point therapy - This form of massage is for specific diseases and injuries.
Massage increases body awareness and leads to improved health and well-being.
For pain-relief it works in a variety of ways by:
- Promoting muscle relaxation
- Increasing Lymphatic Circulation resulting in decreasing inflammation.
- Breaking up scar tissue and adhesions.
- Promotes blood flow through the muscles.
- Promotes drainage of waste products.
All professional Massage therapists have been trained at the College of Natural Medicine which is a private training establishment which is renowned for its high standard of excellence in delivery of education.
