BENEFITS OF REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Increases blood flow to the injured area:

This allows a faster transportation of nutrients and cells needed in the healing process to the site of the injury.

Increased lymphatic flow:

The lymphatic system carries waste and debris away from the site of an injury. It is also responsible for swelling which puts pressure on nerve endings, causing pain. The more quickly the lymphatics can flow and drain away, the more quickly the swelling and pain will reduce.

Reduced stress:

Stress and tension hinder the healing process and disrupts sleep at night, the time your body works best at recovering from injury.

Reduced tension:

Quite simply, the more tense and tight a muscle is, the less blood is able to flow in and out of it. Blood contains all the oxygen and nutrients your muscles needs to operate healthily. A restriction in the blood flow both causes and results in aches and pains and creates susceptibility to injury.

Breaks down scar tissue and fibrous adhesions:

When an past injury heals of its own accord, fibrous tissue can develop at the site of the original problem. Using specialised remedial techniques, this fibrous tissue can be broken down allowing joints and muscles to move more freely and therefore increasing mobility. It will also reduce any pain created by restriction of or friction on the tissues around these joints or muscles.

ABOUT ME

I am currently working at the York Clinic for Integrated Healthcare on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My treatments include specialised remedial deep tissue massage, movements and mobilisations designed to help the body recover from musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions. My aim is get people back doing what they want to be doing as quickly and effectively as possible whether it be an old or a new injury.

I qualified in Remedial Massage at the renowned Northern Institute of Massage and am a member of the National Association of Massage and Manipulative Therapists. Like everyone, I have suffered my own fair share of aches, pains and injuries so fully understand the problems they can cause and benefits you can receive from having them successfully treated.

In addition, I also offer cupping therapy as an option, which uses a vacuum to create localised pressure in an affected area. Cupping helps to release toxins from the muscle and reestablish a good blood supply to a muscle to aid nourishment.

The purpose of this website is to give you a little more information about Remedial and Sports Massage Therapy, what it treats, and what its benefits are.

If you wish to get in touch to find out if Remedial & Sports Massage Therapy is appropriate for you, you can give me a call on 07889116560 or email me at remedialmassageyork@gmail.com. If you'd like to book an appointment, please contact the clinic on 01904-709688.
