Massage and pain.. Dispelling the myths!
Massage can at times be intense and feel ‘ouchy’ but hopefully it’s always in a good way. Massage should never be painful. ‘No pain no gain’ has no place in remedial massage, since all it does is tense the muscles and fascia and provides no lasting therapeutic value, and remedial massage is about therapeutic value!
I always say to clients that we work within pain threshold’s; the ‘oh that hurts but it feels good… not ouch! That really hurts!’
In massage we use our hands/arms as well as heat from pads/shells/stones to easy the body’s aches and pains and calm the tension and nervous system. It’s normal for muscles to feel a little ‘tender’ afterwards (for 24hrs maybe 48hrs max), like that of a post gym burn; after all we have stretched and elongated fascia & muscles! But post massage pain beyond that isn’t a great advert for our work!
Don’t be frightened to talk about massage pressures with your massage therapist!

So often I heard.. ‘oh, I didn’t know that bit hurt until you touched me… now I can feel my (shoulders/neck)….’
In our day to day lives, we live so much in our heads that so often we pay little attention to our bodies. By time we do it’s usually because it’s screaming in pain and we’re reaching for painkillers!. By then, a lot of damage and tension has built up and things can’t simply be rectified in an hour!! Which is why ongoing regular massage is the key. I know people think we can work miracles, but it’s false to think we are able to undo 30+ yrs of tension in a one hour session!

So if you’ve been to us before for regular massage and then life’s got in the way, maybe it’s time to send us a message!

Why do you pay what you do for massage?
Because it’s not just our time, but 10+yrs of training and professionalism.
Our overheads aren’t just our room, and oil, it’s training, development, insurance and professional knowledge and experience gained over years of practice; 30+ in my case…. And ‘yes’ we are each unique therapists wherever we work, and are very ‘worth it’. ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾🥰

We shall be closed for a little while after the quick and devastating loss of our Ruby girl. She joins her mate Cooper now to run free.
Ruby was an absolute corker, and loved all who came to us, and some lucky people out there even got ‘paws on’ treatment… here’s the evidence!
