A healthy, relaxed and stress free body works and feels a lot better than an unhealthy, tensed and/or stressed body... Sounds obvious doesn't it, but if you suffer with any of the ailments we treat then your body is suffering and therefore you are!
Our therapy is designed to help you relax your muscles so that your body can work to its best abilities and give you the best quality of life you can possibly have.
Why is our massage therapy any different to any other, what makes it so special and almost certain to work?
Quite simply our therapy is no different to many other forms of massage, it is the way it is used that is unique! We supply tailored daily massage regimes that are easy to use in your home and at your own convenience. There is no need to concern yourself with regular visits and there is no on-going cost.
Untailored, irregular massage treatment or not enough massage is often the main reason for poor results with other massage therapies.
Massage works by releasing stress and tension built up in the physical body that then impacts release of stress and tension in the mental body, giving an all round cleansing. When you suffer with any of the conditions you can read about on this website, the side affects are more often than not the most painful.
For instance, most people that suffer with arthritis suffer more pain in their muscles and surrounding areas of the joint, than in the joint itself. The reason for this is that the body recognises the damage as an injury, just like if you cut your finger where the area of skin damaged will be tensed up to protect it while it is repaired. In the case of an arthritic joint, the body tenses up the muscles and tendons to try to protect the joint. This is the main cause of the side affects or secondary pain as we call it (the majority of the pain suffered). While this is what the body is supposed to do with an injury, with age-related ailments this damage should not really be treated the same as an injury by the body, but the body cannot differentiate between an injury and age-related conditions, so it continues on its merry way. This tension builds up over a period of time, causing compression in the joint and in some cases, even worsening the condition and certainly causing more pain than is r eally necessary. If you relax the associated muscles, after a short period of time they will of course, start to tense back up again trying to protect the area. This is the reason why irregular or not regular enough massage rarely works for these sorts of conditions.
For example have you or do you know someone who has visited an osteopath or other form of therapist in relation to an arthritis problem? If so then you’ll probably recall that it feels great when you walk out of their surgery and that the benefits soon wear off. But most of the therapists’ patients will not be seen again for another month and even if you could get yourself another appointment for the next day how many times could you afford to go back per month and how much time of your life do you wish to devote to this task just to get some simple relief?
Our massage therapy is non-impact and uses a circulatory and pulsing motion as opposed to a percussion motion. When you have regular massage therapy, circulatory and pulsing massages relaxes the muscles without bashing the joints. It also assists in your circulation which is likely to have been restricted by the tension in the muscles. But most critically we only supply solutions that you can provide yourself daily and in the comfort of your own home.
