Westwood Massage

Westwood Massage is a home based clinic located in Peppard Common, just a 10 minute drive from Henley Do you suffer with Muscular Aches and Pains or Headaches?

Massage therapy helps the body in so many ways. A good massage can help relax muscle tissue, which may lead to decreased nerve compression, improved joint space, and range of motion. This ultimately results in reduced pain and improved function. Massage therapy is also known to help boost circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells as well as aids in the removal of waste products. These circulatory effects of massage therapy positively affect some inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis

Because getting a massage generally induces a relaxation response, it leads to lower heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. It can also help boost the immune system while decreasing the physical effects of stress. Massage can help treat, or help reduce pain in the following conditions:

• Muscular aches and pains
• Muscle injury
• Tendon and muscle tear
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Golfer's Elbow, Tennis Elbow
• Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Headaches and Migraine
• Frozen Shoulder
• Whiplash
• Strains & Sprains
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sciatica
• Tendonitis
• Sleeping Disorders
• Shin splints
• Achilles Tendonitis
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Scoliosis
• Pregnancy-related back pain
• Arthritis

Getting regular good massages can also offer other psychological, emotional, and physical benefits such as:

• Improved mood
• Reduced anxiety
• Lower stress levels
• Reduced anger and aggression
• Improved sleep patterns
• Reduced fatigue
• Enhanced immune system
• Improved athletic performance and recovery

Self Help for Sciatica (Piriformis Syndrome)

There is a muscle located deep in the buttocks called the Piriformis muscle which the sciatic nerve runs under (or in some people through the middle of). If this muscle becomes tight it presses on the Sciatic nerve which caused the pain from the buttocks down the back of the leg. There are a few things you can do to try and release this muscle to take the pressure off the Sciatic nerve.

Stretch – I have attached a copy of stretches to help release the Piriformis muscles, try to do these at least twice a day, repeating each stretch 3 times and hold for up to 30 seconds. Only do what feels comfortable to you there should be no pain when doing this. The floor exercise is more difficult so if that looks a little ambitious try the chair stretch.

Heat – If you have a hot water bottle or heat pack try sitting on this for 10 minutes twice a day, the heat will help to relax the muscles.

Move - The best thing you can do for Sciatica is to try and keep moving as much as possible, although that is easier said than done at the moment but as much as you can try to walk around the house and garden regularly.

Self Massage – If you have tennis ball or something similar at home try doing some self massage with this into the buttocks the best way to do this is to sit on the ball and gently roll it around under you.

Good luck with it, I hope these tips help to relive it a little.
