The Greeks and Romans strongly believed in the benefits of massage for the athletes of their time. Galen (AD 30-200), who was a well-known Roman physician, prescribed massage for the gladiators both before and after exercising.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the painful stiffness in your muscles that you get after strenuous exercise. Without treatment, this soreness can last for several days.

Sports massage following exercise is proven to prevent and relieve this pain. It is particularly popular with professional athletes who need to repeat intense exercise frequently and therefore need to recover fast. However, there are other benefits to this treatment, too.

Improving muscle length and flexibility supporting injury recovery and injury prevention

Sports massage incorporates a series of stretches which are proven to improve muscle length and flexibility. This reduces the risk of injury during exercise.

Following an injury, the body can sometimes adopt what we call an analgesic posture – this unnatural stance may relieve short term pain, but long term can lead to further problems. Usually this adopted posture causes muscle tension and decreased muscle length which can lead to pain.

A sports massage can release tight muscles contributing to or caused by an injury, even if the injury was caused a long time ago. Sports massage can often improve recovery.

Additionally, the endorphins released during the treatment act as your body’s natural painkillers. In short, most musculoskeletal conditions benefit from sports massage.

THE WORST THING

The worst thing you can be is not fat,
or ugly,
or stupid.

The worst thing you can be,
is not different,
or awkward,
or ‘too much’.

The worst thing you can be,
unequivocally,
is locked in a prison of your own self-doubt,
riddled with insecurities,
afraid to venture out into this life,
lest the world see who you really are.

In short,
the worst thing you can be,
is someone else.

When you were only ever meant to be

you.

DERMAPLANE SPECIALIST

Hi girls!

It’s time to exfoliate to the max!

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation of the epidermis and removal of fine facial hairs. It is carried out using a scalpel to gently abraise the surface of the skin with light feather strokes.
Dermaplaning removes the excess dead skins cells, and dirt and oils that are trapped in the skin. The hair is superficial vellus hair, therefore will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment.
By removing the hairs, the skin appears a lot more smoother, and make-up is much easier to apply.
I offer this treatment on its own,or
combined with an led light Therapy session to boost regeneration.

Session Prices from £30
