Massage - 'Manual Health Therapy'
How can massage help me?
Massage therapy helps to reduce stiffening joints, improves flexibility and mobility.
Massage relaxes you and generates a feeling of wellbeing.
Injured muscles and ligaments develop scar tissue, massage increases the blood flow and breaks down the fibrous nodules in soft tissues, improving joint mobility and flexibility, relieving pain.
Massage is often used alongside other physical therapy such as chiropractic and physiotherapy to enhance recovery.
