Massage Therapy |
| Massage is one of the most historic forms of health therapy. Research has shown that touch and massage used as a complementary therapy to be beneficial in promoting healing. Massage helps to relieve stress and pain, relaxes muscles, improves circulation, aids digestion and helps to rid our bodies of waste products. It is also an effective aid to body toning. There are various forms of massage. I am trained in Swedish and Therapeutic massage, Deep tissue massage, Thai massage techniques and Indian Head massage. Please read on:
Therapeutic/Swedish Massage -
This consists of a number of massage movements, varying in intensity from gentle strokes to deep tissue massage. The massage is performed on the unclothed body, using plain or aromatic oil or talc but modesty is ensured at all times, you will be covered with sheets and towels.
Deep Tissue Massage -
Deep Tissue massage techniques are useful for relieving back pain, joint stiffness and muscle tension, respiratory problems, poor circulation and general fatigue. Deep tissue massage can relieve sciatica, muscular pain and tension, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, migraines and headaches and many other conditions.
Thai Style Massage -
Thai massage is very different from other forms of massage. ThaiStyle massage uses passive yoga and acupressure techniques resulting in a deep but relaxing massage. The technique focuses work along the energy lines in the body and therapists use their hands, elbows, knees and feet and utilise stretching and rocking motions to relieve tension and to remove blockages. This type of massage leaves the client feeling loose and relaxed and is excellent for anyone that needs to relax tense and knotted muscle. The Massage is perfomed on the floor, rather than a massage couch and the client remains fully clothed, loose clothing such as a tracksuit is advised to aid ease of movement.
TESTIMONIALS
Date Added: February 2010
I have had pain in my neck and shoulders constantly for sometime and after a back and shoulder deep tissue massage from April, I felt so much better and the pain eased almost immediately. April is very profesional and will relax you within minutes of meeting her.

April is wonderful! I have a scoliosis which really troubles me but I always walk away from a session with April standing straighter and pain free. I highly recommend her.

Over the years I've tried several treatments with several people to ease my neck and shoulder ache and found the deep tissue massage by April one of the best. She puts you at ease and also offers good practical advise and exercises.

April's deep tissue back and shoulder massage eased away all my aches and pains. April is always professional and friendly and her treatments are good value for money.
Date Added: December 2007
When I was looking for a massage therapist I was very wary of letting someone I didn't know get their hands on my neck, back and shoulders. However, I was impressed by the range of April's qualifications and decided to give her a try. I knew right away I'd made a good choice. April is professsional, knowledgeable, friendly but not over friendly and helps you to relax. The stiffness and tension in my neck and shoulders has definitely improved since visiting April. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
