Massage has been used in all cultures throughout history to aid healing and promote relaxation. It has a long history as a treatment for a wide range of conditions and disorders and until the 1950’s most British hospitals had Massage departments.

Massage improves the circulation, speeding up the elimination of toxins through the lymphatic system, relieves fatigue, tones muscles, improves breathing and generally relaxes the body. It is valuable in the treatment of prolonged stress, mental and physical tension and all types of muscular aches and pains. Treatment varies according to the individual, how long their particular condition has lasted and how quickly their body responds, but an average length of treatment is 6 sessions. When stressed our bodies operate on the sympathetic branch of the nervous system, the so -called ‘flight or fight’ system, where blood is pumped to our limbs ready for action and away from our digestive system. If the stress is prolonged the digestive tract is inhibited and the production of hydrochloroc acid increases, hence ulcers: Massage reverses this process by restoring the blood flow to the digestive system. Sometimes clients feel light-headed after a session due to the release of stress products, such as lactic acid and urea, so it is advisable to take it easy after treatment and to drink water or juice to help flush the toxins out of the body. Some people also come purely for relaxation for one-off sessions, while others set up a regular prevention programme by coming fortnightly or monthly.
