Clinical Massage draws on a variety of techniques in order to achieve a specific outcome ie: to eliminate or significantly reduce long-term pain. Many of the techniques are similar to sports massage, however they are used in a gentle way to avoid causing pain. There is also an emphasis on self care, with the therapist guiding the client in order to speed up recovery. Techniques include Myofascial Release, Triggerpoint Therapy, Deep Tissue/Remedial Massage, Sports Stretching Reflexology is found in various forms in many ancient healing traditions. Reflexology works ‘reflex points' on the foot which correspond to different parts or systems within the body. This complementary therapy is non-invasive, however it is deeply relaxing, can aid the body's own healing processes and allow you to achieve a deep sense of well-being.

The work I do draws on a variety of sources (Clinical Massage, Holistic Massage, Thai Massage, Sports Stretching, Reflexology and Acupressure) to produce a positive change in my clients physicality. If you are dealing with chronic pain, coping with stress or recovering from injury my approach will aim to get to the root of the issue in the gentlest way possible.
