Sports Massage
Sports Massage has both physiological and psychological benefits and is used to improve the conditions of the muscles by increasing the circulation which then helps to flush out toxins and eliminate waste products. It alleviates muscle aches, increases joint mobility, aids recovery after illness or injury and helps to prevent injury by keeping muscles flexible and agile.
Regular sports massage can help to extend the life of your sporting career by keeping your muscles healthy and preventing tears and other injuries. During a Sports Massage the muscle and fascia tissues are stretched using a variety of techniques enabling the blood to circulate more efficiently through the tissues. It can release tension, remove waste products and allow better oxygen take up by increasing the tissues permeability.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural therapy which involves stimulating particular points on the feet or sometimes hands, to bring about relaxation, balance and healing. Reflex points on the feet and hands are linked to other areas and organs in the body.
​
Reflexology treats the person as a whole as no system within the body works alone. By balancing each system you create a homeostasis within the body.
Posture Analysis
We cannot treat injuries and pain in isolation, we need to review the whole body and nervous system. All of it needs to be taken into consideration with every single injury/situation. So, reviewing the body as a whole, including its history, can help to identify where tight muscles and misaligned joints are having a negative effect on your body. This review utilises gentle exercises to activate the misalignment that has been found.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese complimentary therapy that works to balance your energy channels and chakras. It has many benefits, there are studies that show it can be good to improve your moods, reduce your anxieties, stress and nervousness. It helps to nurture your emotional, physical and mental wellbeing.

Lymphatic Massage
​The lymphatic system has no pump, it is designed to help the circulatory system carry fluid back up to the heart. It depends on muscle contractions, diaphragmatic breathing and body movement. It is possible for your lymphatic system to become sluggish, due to inactivity, consuming the wrong foods, poor hydration, stress and following surgery.
