When you think of digestion issues you don’t automatically think of massage! 🍽️🍽️

Fascia is an incredibly intelligent web that wraps around your organs.

When you are under extra pressure, stress levels increase and in turn the fascia can become restricted inhibiting movement throughout the abdominal cavity and organ function.

A restricted fascia will also affect your Vagus nerve which is a key player in the brain gut connection.

I loved this feedback, I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives and I LOVE my job.

🤔 When Should You Book a Remedial Massage?

Are you in pain, but not sure if a remedial massage is right for your specific issue? Understanding the difference between acute injury pain and chronic tension is key to knowing when to book!

Here's a breakdown of when a remedial massage can help you:

1. Pain from Acute Injury (Recent & Specific): 🤕

If you have a clear, recent injury—like a sudden muscle strain from lifting, a whiplash, or a sports injury—remedial massage can be an essential part of your recovery, once the initial severe inflammation has settled.

When to Seek Massage:
After consulting a primary healthcare provider (like a doctor or physio) and once the acute, hot, or swollen phase is over.

How it Helps:
It focuses on healing damaged tissues, managing scar tissue, improving circulation to the injured site, and restoring range of motion.

2. Chronic Pain, Imbalances, & Muscle Tension (Ongoing & Cumulative): 😩

This is the classic area where remedial massage shines! This pain builds up over time from poor posture, repetitive movements (like sitting at a desk), emotional stress, or muscle imbalances.

When to Seek Massage:
If you have persistent neck stiffness, tension headaches, recurring lower back pain, or general aches that restrict your movement in daily life.

How it Helps:
It targets and releases deep-seated muscle knots (trigger points), corrects postural imbalances by lengthening tight muscles, and reduces overall stress and tension that can feed into chronic pain cycles.

In Short:

Recent Injury: Think Repair (once initial recovery phase is complete).

Chronic Tension/Imbalance: Think Rebalance & Release (for ongoing discomfort and stiffness).

Don't let pain hold you back! If you're struggling with tightness, limited movement, or persistent aches, talk to a qualified remedial massage therapist. We are trained to assess your body and tailor a treatment to help you move and feel better!

Thrilled to add Myofascial Cupping to my remedial massage toolkit!

This evidence-based therapy utilizes suction to lift and decompress tissues, which can lead to significant reductions in muscle tension, improved blood flow, and enhanced flexibility.

Cupping can leave marks but with adjustments to technique often can maximise results with little markings.
