Our bodies have an innate ability to repair when we are able to drop into a state of rest. Engaging with the nervous system - using breath and creating a relaxing and safe space - we can work with whatever you bring on the day to design the perfect treatment for you to leave feeling refreshed, restored and reconnected with yourself.
For more specific aches and pains, using focused techniques to get deeper into the causes of your physical discomfort. Bringing my holistic style to a remedial massage, we will work together to establish the underlying issue, relieving the directly and indirectly affected muscles and connective tissues. Negotiating pressure and pace to achieve optimum release of the tissues, so you can work toward pain relief.
Are you suffering from undiagnosed tooth or jaw pain? Having trouble opening your mouth or chewing food? Do you experience tension headaches or migraines? Having ringing of the ears or facial twitching? Clicking or popping when you move your jaw? These are all symptoms of TMJ disorder - disorders of the Temporomandibular Joint.
Massage is proven as an effective and non-intrusive treatment for TMJ disorders. Treatment will include a physical assessment to identify the root of tension and guide your treatment plan. We will then focus on the release of the muscles of the upper back and neck, which have a direct relationship to jaw tension, also working intra-orally (inside the mouth) to access the muscles of mastication (chewing) and overtime begin to see a release of these tissues and symptoms.
Due to the chronic nature of this condition, I recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to achieve effective symptomatic relief. Please get in touch to discuss your symptoms and treatment options or to ask any questions.
Massage has wonderful benefits for you and your baby, allowing a moment to connect with your body and the changes you are experiencing. Depending on the stage of your pregnancy, your massage will look different and we will adapt and plan your perfect treatment for the aches and pains of your changing body, or simply to enjoy a restorative moment for you to feel into the power of what you are creating. There may be different things coming up at different stages and I endeavour to hold you in whatever you feel you need from your treatment to ensure you are leaving feeling restored and connected to yourself and your baby.
