Sadie Lee - Massage Therapist
Regular sessions have been proven to raise performance, help reduce the risk of injury and extend the sporting life of the athlete. Professional and amateur sports people alike use massage as part of their fitness regime. Sports massage is not just for the athlete, others are now beginning to see the benefits of regular deep tissue treatments. Anyone who is forced to use repetitive movements or assume the same postural position for extended periods will benefit e.g. long hours at the computer, driving, construction work.
By increasing blood flow and eliminating waste, many common injuries can be treated effectively (Shin Splints, Sprains & Strains, Tennis Elbow, Wry Neck, etc.), thus allowing a quicker return to activity.
Massage should not be applied until at least 24 or 48 hours after injury, or until swelling has gone down. Before this stage the RICE procedure should be used - Rest Ice Compression Elevation.
Indian Head Massage Incorporating the back, shoulders, neck, head and face, this treatment is excellent for easing away tension. Great for hair growth and condition. Beneficial for many ailments, especially sinus problems and headaches.
On-Site Acupressure This massage uses an ancient Japanese technique called Anma. The back, shoulders, neck, scalp and arms are worked on to help ease away tension. Working on pressure points stimulates the blood supply, increasing energy levels. You go straight back to work invigorated and energized.
Reflexology Based on Eastern medicine, this highly relaxing treatment suggests a person’s feet can mirror the body’s health and blocked or problem areas can be pinpointed. By applying finger pressure and massage to the foot, the body’s own ability to heal itself can be stimulated. It can be particularly effective at relieving the negative symptoms associated with stomach, menstrual or sleeping problems.
