In Therapeutic Massage, oil is used as a base to reduce friction on the skin and with a series of circular movements pressure is applied to the skin and thus onto the tissue and muscles underneath. In this way the tightness and knots in the muscles are released, creating a feeling of relaxation.

Muscle Tension

Stress is often a big part of our life these days and one of the results can be that we get tight muscles particularly in the neck, shoulder and back area.  If not addressed this can lead to chronic muscle tension which causes many different problems.  Massage can help to reduce the tension within the muscles and create a sense of relaxation.

Arthritis

Whilst massage will not in any way cure arthritis it can be very helpful in easing out the stiffness and tension around arthritic joints.  I have considerable experience of giving massage to clients with arthritis with good effect.
