MASSAGE & DEEP TISSUE THERAPY
WHAT TO EXPECT
Holistic Massage Therapy uses a wide variety of techniques that are adapted to each client’s needs. I will take time to tailor the massage after a thorough assessment of your treatment goals and personal situation. We will focus on more than just superficial aches and pains. A typical massage will focus on a physical symptom whilst taking into account personal circumstances and stresses you may be experiencing in daily life.
I recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 12 hours after your massage; this allows your soft muscle tissue to return to its normal state and enables you to get the most out of your massage.
Please note that not all problems can be solved in one session and a course of treatments may be required to maintain your health and wellbeing. We will discuss how i can best support you at your initial consultation.
SWEDISH FULL BODY MASSAGE
This massage will be tailored specifically to your requirements after a full consultation and a treatment plan are discussed.
A full body massage using the traditional Swedish style of long strokes of varying pressure, to ease aching muscles and joints, aiming to reduce any pain and increase flexibility.
Appropriate essential oils will be discussed and chosen to meet your needs and combined with a safe and luxurious warm base oil.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
This massage is catered to clients who are either training for an event or recovering from it, as well as those experiencing repetitive strain from modern work styles. Repetitive strain can affect individuals who spend extended periods at a desk and those in professions involving repetitive physical tasks such as hairdressing, beauty, or construction.
The massage will focus on areas of concern and will work to detoxify the muscles and ease the fascia covering and protecting the muscles, which may be super tight and overworked, possibly in spasm causing pain and restriction.
Targeting and application of pressure to the deeper layers, techniques will include Trigger and Pressure Point Therapy, Deep Pressure techniques to release tightness and chronic knots throughout the body.
Blood circulation will be stimulated and improved. Appropriate detoxing essential oils will be discussed and blended for you. A deep sense of relaxation will also be achieved in this massage.
Pressure will be medium to firm. Stretch and reset fascia, loosen tight muscles, and restore homeostasis (balance).

HOT STONES MASSAGE
A traditional Chinese and Indian therapy using wonderful hot basalt stones to soothe aching muscles and get in deep to areas of tension and stress within your body.
The stones are warmed to a perfect temperature and I use traditional Swedish strokes to help rid the body of toxins.

HOME-BASED MASSAGE FOR LESS ABLE-BODIED CLIENTS

When times are tough, this service can be a lifeline to the client and their family.
Therapeutic touch can be transformative after illnesses such as strokes, or spinal injury.
I will visit you in your home to do a full assessment and we will then decide on an appropriate treatment plan for you. I will bring all the necessary products including oils and towels.

“I took my 12-year-old, with ADHD to see Tina, as he’s a keen butterfly swimmer and has been suffering from shoulder problems. Tina was kind and thoughtful, and really listened to what he told her. He loved the sports massage and came away feeling physically and emotionally better! I highly recommend Tina.”
