  Sports/ Deep Tissue Massage

  Sports or deep tissue massage uses firm pressure, deep tissue work, and active stretching tailored to specific activity demands or areas of pain. I can treat a variety of issues including acute and chronic pain, headaches, neck back and shoulder pain, postural issues, joint issues and repetitive strain injuries.

  Sports massage can be for everyone, whether its for a specific injury or pain, whether you are preparing for an event (ie marathon, hyrox, triathlon) and you would like treatment pre and post event, or whether you simply are looking for a massage for maintenance and injury prevention.

  Sports massage can improve muscle soreness, prevent injuries, help flexibility and circulation and lower stress levels.

  Within my treatment I like to use a variety of techniques including dry needling acupuncture, cupping (if I feel you would be suitable for it) and deep tissue massage as well as stretching and exercise suggestions to overcome any issues you may have.

  If you have something specific you would like treated please don’t hesitate to contact me.

  C-section Scar Treatment & Massage

  Over 45% of women are now having C-section births, and I understand from a personal (I’ve had 2 c-sections myself) and a professional point of view that a c-section scar can affect many parts of your life, physically and emotionally. For some women, their scar can affect them returning to exercise, moving with confidence, intimacy with their partner, the clothes they wear, and how they feel about their body. Many women describe pulling or tightness around their scar, which can then give referral pain elsewhere in their body such as their pelvis, back or chest. The scar can be raised, red and sore. There can be an overhang or it can feel numb above or below the scar. All of these issues we can help with through scar massage therapy.

  C-Section scar massage aims to help your scar feel more comfortable over time, restore movement and support the healing.

  What to expect from your appointment:

  - Your initial consultation will be 60 minutes long, you may bring your baby with you if you wish.

  - I will discuss your pregnancy and birth in detail and how you feel now.

  - A scar assessment

  - Posture movements and checks

  - Check for any abdominal separation (called Diastasis Recti)

  - Scar massage

  - Scar rehab plan and follow on after care and advice.

  I will take time to listen to your birth experience and go at the pace that is comfortable to you. Scar massage is very gentle and we will tailor every treatment to suit your needs emotionally and physically.

  You must be 6 weeks postpartum and the scar must be completely healed with no stitches, scabs etc for scar massage. If however you would like some advice on this or would like me to take a look at your scar before this point, please don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if your scar is much older than this no scar is too old to treat so please do still contact me if you have any concerns with your scar.

  Dry Needling Acupuncture

  Dry needling is a Western medical technique where thin, solid stainless steel needles are inserted directly into myofascial trigger points (muscle knots or tight bands of muscle) to relieve pain and improve movement. It can stimulate blood flow and release natural pain-relieving endorphins.

  This is a very safe and affective treatment and I tend to use it within my massage treatment as I find I get the best results this way.

  Pregnancy Massage

  Pregnancy massage is a therapeutic massage targeted for mums to be. This uses light gentle pressure compared to my usual sports massage and aims to relieve pain, reduces swelling and promotes relaxation. The majority of this massage will be in a sideline position with supportive pillows and bolsters but I do also have a pregnancy pillow that allows mums to lay on their front!

  This massage requires you to be 12 weeks and in good health.

If there’s something specific you’d like treated, please just ask.
