In the first of a series, I’d like to answer a question I often get asked. Will a massage fix a problem that took years to develop?
I sometimes joke and say, “Yes it will. As long as you quit your job, move to the country and don’t do anything strenuous ever again”. Very, very often a single massage can make an enormous difference to a person’s experience of their body and it makes me very happy to facilitate that. But unless you make some changes in your life, one massage is unlikely going to be enough, and the benefits accumulate over a few sessions. Deep Tissue Massage is a tool to be used in conjunction with stress management, exercise, sleep and diet to improve your overall health.
So what can it do for chronic conditions? It can:
-Get down into the deeper tissue to relieve “knots” (something I will cover next time)
-Release triggerpoints that cause pain in other parts of your body
-Soften muscle tension - it’s really effective at getting rid of headaches
-Improve your overall sense of wellness
-Break down scar tissue
I love what I do and would love to know what you would like me to address. DM or WhatsApp me and I will try to answer your questions.
