True! There's a reason you feel good after a massage (well, several reasons, or at least there should be). One of the reasons is that massage stimulates our bodies to produce neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin, and reduces stress hormones like cortisol.
Touch has a profound effect on our body's natural chemicals. Kneading the deep tissue elicits the release of endorphins into the bloodstream, which explains the sense of relaxation and well-being we experience during a massage. Myofascial release also increases the level of endorphins that get released into our blood.
If you want to read more about this you can have a look at "Cortisol decreases and serotonin and dopamine increase following massage therapy" by Field et al.

So happy to say I'll be restarting on Tues 27th April!
Although this isn't 100% confirmed, it's all looking very positive that the lifting of lockdown restrictions are going well. With that in mind, I've opened up my diary, so if you have any queries, or would like to book an appointment, you can get in touch via the WhatsApp button at the top of the page
Can't wait to get back! ๐

Following yesterday's announcement on Scotland's lifting of lockdown restrictions, I'm so happy to say we have a planned date to restart on 26th April!
A wee while between now and then, and these dates are all dependent on how well the virus is being contained, so I won't open my diary just yet. I'll be in touch soon to reschedule all cancelled appointments. Looking forward to seeing you all!

The benefits of Massage Therapy are many and so powerful
04/01/2021
Not quite the news update I had hoped for this afternoon, but in light of today's announcement, my Massage Practice will remain closed until further notice.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and much valued loyalty as we attempt to navigate these very strange times ๐ Hopefully we are getting closer to the end of this & just need to stick to the restrictions a little while longer.
I will keep you posted with any updates on when I will be allowed to restart. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and take care of each other

Massage Therapy is the practice of manipulating the superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in order to improve well being and health.
The benefits are many and include a reduction in muscular tension, improved circulation, increased joint mobility and flexibility & improved recovery of soft tissue injuries. Massage can also help to reduce anxiety and nervous tension, promoting relaxation and thereby helping to support overall wellbeing.
