Did you know that pain is not an accurate representation of what is happening in our bodies?

It is a protective mechanism of our brain and nervous system. It is there to help protect us from harm.

However, it is not exact and the external stimuli we encounter is filtered through our brains with all of our emotions, expectations and beliefs.

When pain persists for a long time and becomes chronic, it is usually because our brains have become over-protective. They have become accustomed to protecting us and got stuck in a loop, detecting threats where they no longer exist in an attempt to keep us safe.

This is why calming the nervous system is so important in treating chronic pain. When we feel safe, when our nervous systems are calm and we are not in fight or flight mode anymore, we can interupt this overprotective cycle and actually begin to heal 💚

I have just finished work for the week with the most lovely reaction from my client following her treatment. She told me that...

💜 She had let go of a lot of stuff that she's been carrying around for a really long time. That her body could now move freely and without the reluctance that is usually there 💜

This is why I love massage SO much. The effects can be so profound in the way you experience your body, energy and emotions. It can be wonderfully deep and healing.

Not everyone is able to lay flat on the table for a massage. If you need a seated treatment please get in touch with a few days notice so I can bring in my massage chair. The back of the table can also be lifted for a comfortable seated position meaning the whole body can be treated 😊

I'm now back at Jing School of Massage and Complimentary Medicine, stydying for years 2 & 3 of my BTEC level 6 qualification in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage. There's so much to learn this year including Orthopedic Assessment, Working with Complex Pathologies and Rehabilitation, as well as adding to my existing skills in Myofascial Release.
So glad I know some incredible massage therapists as this is a lot of hard work and I will need LOTS of treatments so I don't end up feeling compeletely frazzled! 😵‍💫

Most treatments begin with a gentle, connecting touch. This is a lovely moment of stillness, of sinking down, of settling into the treatment whilst our energies meet. It is a beautiful, intentional way to begin the session, creating a feeling of safety from the first touch.
