Our massage treatments all aim to leave you feeling soothed, relaxed and revitalised.  They are marvellous for relieving aching backs, shoulders and necks and for helping the flexibility of joints. They improve circulation, speed the recovery of injured muscles, tendons and ligaments and they soothe the nervous system, which in turn has a beneficial effect on digestion and sleep patterns. Massage is an excellent maintenance treatment.

Our massage treatments include:

Sports Massage
For all those participating in sports exercise. The aim is to ensure performance, speed recovery from injury and prevent future injury.

Remedial Massage
Remedial massage, in combination with a few essential oils to aid relaxation, is a form of deep tissue massage and is performed to loosen 'knotty' and tense areas of the body and promote relaxation.

Therapeutic Massage
Gentle and soothing. It calms the nervous system, reduces stress levels and eases muscular tension, improving sleep patterns and digestion.

I gained my VTCT qualification in Sports Massage Therapy in 2016 from Manchester School of Massage and I am a member of the federation of holistic therapies.  Whilst completing my training, I was fortunate to work alongside John Honey physiotherapist, Ross Whiteside at the Macclesfield Harriers on a monthly basis, where I gained a more in-depth understanding of running injuries and rehab exercises.  I then joined the team at Trinity House Practice in October 2016.

Being a keen runner, I have taken part in all disciplines and also take part in regular gym fitness classes.  This has helped developed my understanding of the injuries that can happen and the stresses placed on the body during sports.  I appreciate with any injury or muscle dysfunction be it from gardening, DIY or an environmental factor such as sitting at a desk for long hours, the physiological and psychological effects of this can be major and prevent a person from performing their chosen activity.  I take a knowledge based and caring approach to help alleviate symptoms and help treat the injury or dysfunction.

I treat a wide variety of people from office based workers, retired clients, carers and sports men and women from all levels of sport.  On initial consultation, I will assess and put together an individual plan for treatment and give exercises where appropriate to aid rehab, reviewing progress at each appointment and adapting treatment as required.

I am fully first aid qualified and have a further qualification in Deep Tissue and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF).  PNF is a more advanced form of flexibility stretching training that involves both the stretching and contraction of the muscle group being targeted.  I have also completed a course in fascial taping.
