Many of us can benefit from a massage — it’s a great way to improve wellness, help with pain and more. Therapeutic massage is a type of complementary medicine practice that is often used to treat muscle pain, injury, and stiffness. Your therapist will use techniques such as stroking, kneading, tapping and pressing to relax you mentally and physically. During your massage your dignity will be protected with towels with only the specific area being massaged exposed. 

There are so many good reasons to treat yourself to a therapietic massage. Here are just a few:

Reducing stress and increasing relaxation

Reducing pain and muscle soreness and tension

Improving circulation, energy and alertness

Lowering heart rate and blood pressure

Improving immune function

Paraffin wax Massage can help to target specific areas of pain, such as joint pain caused by arthritis, and dry skin conditions such as eczema. It also aids a deeper relaxation as the heat soothes those aching muscles. 

If you have a medical condition, you should inform your massage therapist during the consultation. Some conditions require a GPs permission before treatment commences. However most will not and informing your therapist will mean they can adapt your massage to suit your individual needs. For those who are pregnant, a prenatal (pregnancy) massage can help alleviate pain and swelling.
