The calming power of touch, massage & stress relief

In today's massively busy world, where we tend to find ourselves running from one place to another, feeling under pressure to meet deadlines, the demands of others, and to keep up to date with our social media, very few people make the conscious decision to just let go, switch off and say "enough is enough".

The effects of stress on the body are well documented, playing a part in an array of physiological, & psychological conditions.  Taking time out to rest and relax permits the body to reset itself, deal with the effects of adrenaline/fight or flight hormones within the body.  Long term stress, with a body constantly under bombardment from these hormones have hugely negative effects on the body.


The power of therapeutic touch is greatly underestimated.  First time clients who visit me are always amazed how fabulous a massage makes them feel and on so many different levels.  Regular clients are very clued up on this fact, and can't wait to get on the couch because they know how wonderful they are going to feel by the end of the treatment;Relaxed, refreshed, at peace.

Before, after, and sometimes even during a treatment, clients often open up about problems they are experiencing and start to release negative feelings, begin to feel motivated to change parts of their life eg lose some weight, go for that change in career etc, the focus shifts on looking at things as a stressful problem, but more positively as something that can be achieved, that they can look after their well being and cope better moving into the future.

Deep breathing before, during & after a treatment, has wonderful benefits for clients too, from improving blood flow, providing feelings of relief and release and breathing out negativity and bottled up emotions.

Massage treatments are available with me at Riverside Natural Health Centre, Trent Bridge, Nottingham with customer parking available.

30, 45, and 60 minute options are available.  Choose a back massage, leg massage, full body or even a seated Indian Head Massage, the decision is yours
