Remedial Massage

Remedial massage therapy is a form of massage  that aims to relieve muscle tension and chronic pain across different areas of the body. This type of massage is suitable for anyone including individuals who may have chronic conditions due to the massage’s therapeutic nature. A remedial massage is known to be very relaxing and therapeutic – however, it does involve massage  holding  pressure points that can produce some discomfort during the massage, however I will always check with you to make sure you are comfortable with the pressure.

 A relaxing massage can help promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and foster overall well-being.

It involves long, gliding strokes, as well as kneading, tapping, and other rhythmic techniques to relieve muscle tension. The pressure is from light to medium and you may speak to me about adjusting the pressure.  Swedish body massage will entail massage of the entire body including the abdomen. If you would like to opt out of any areas being massaged you can discuss this with me at the start. 

The lymphatic system plays an important role in our immune system in a way it acts like a sewerage system, it maintains bodily fluid in the bodies tissues by removing fluid maintaining optimal function of the immune system.

The lymph nodes monitor the lymph and then produce antibodies to protect us from infection and disease.

When the lymphatic system isn’t working well swelling can occur  which is called lymphoedema, mainly in the arms and legs. 

It can also have a role in obesity, Crohns disease and other disorders.
