✧ - When it comes to muscle soreness, the same issues often reoccur - necks, shoulders and backs especially can take quite a pounding from our busy lives. If we add together screen time, household chores, gardening, sporting activities, days out and long drives, we begin to realise just how much we ask of ourselves.
✧ - Our bodies are amazing things but when we ask it to cope with too much, ignore what it's trying to tell us, and hope we will feel better next week or next month, we get into a cycle that simply makes matters worse.
✧ - The same thing happens when we try to keep going through prolonged periods of stress and anxiety, we hope for a change, even though we know we are overly tired, not thinking clearly, taking on too much and end up feeling completely overwhelmed.
✧ - The good news is that our bodies are designed to heal and recover, and respond well to a bit of care and attention.
✧ - Sometimes our body finds it hard to enter the rest and repair stage it needs to heal. Massage therapy can help to trigger this response by relaxing the muscles and encouraging a return to wellbeing and improved functionality.
✧ - Massage therapy can help across a range of pain and stress related issues, including -
muscle soreness, back pain, shoulder, hip, knee and other joint issues, post operative rehabilitation, pregnancy, arthritis, osteoporosis, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, repetitive strain injuries, headaches, migraines, stress, anxiety, sleeplessness and digestive disorders.
✧ - Professional massage can also be very beneficial for those wanting to simply take a moment for themselves, to re-set and to regain a sense of control and calm.
