What is massage therapy?
Massage
therapy is the manipulation of your body to enhance wellbeing.
Historically massage dates back thousands of years; what could be more natural
than the touch of another to soothe you?
Massage
can be calming & relaxing, or stimulating & invigorating.
It can reduce anxiety, stress, tension, fear & shock.
Massage therapy can lower high blood pressure and offer pain relief & improve
sleep patterns.
Massage improves circulation, helping warm cold extremities, expelling toxins
which build up in the body. It can improve muscle tone & is especially useful
before & after sport or a long drive; as it helps warm muscles, reducing spasms,
tiredness, stiffness & tension.
Massage can ease stomach problems, especially if they are stress induced, &
improves breathing. Healing or convalescence can be enhanced, as it boosts the
immune system.
Often
if we are feeling emotionally run down, we become prone to illness. Massage can
counteract negative emotions, or strengthen your state of mind. Therefore a positive
mental state further boosts your immune system, further enhancing your wellbeing.
The
oils used in massage have therapeutic properties. Many have beneficial vitamins
& minerals which are absorbed through the skin. In fact 60% of whatever you
apply to yourself is absorbed through the skin.
The
main technique that Nicolle uses in her treatments (available
at her clinic) is classical massage pioneered by Per Hendrick Ling in the
18th century combining this with Tui Na, a form of Chinese healing.
This ensures you are treated holistically; physically, mentally, emotionally &
spiritually.
Most
importantly, massage gives you permission to take quality time out, helping you
relax, revitalise, re-energise, & rebalance
.or, take a deeper
journey to help you heal yourself.
