MASSAGE

The aim of my massage treatments is to free you up where you're stuck, and help you achieve your goals whether that’s to reduce tension, help with an injury, support you in your training, or just to relax. Read on for information about the types of massage I offer & please get in touch if you have any questions.

I have a BTEC Level 5 in Sports & Remedial Massage from NLSSM, am fully insured with Balens and registered with FHT.

Appointments are available at Falmouth Active Health (Mon, Weds, Fri) and Jubilee Wharf (Tues & Thurs) in Falmouth, Cornwall. I am also based monthly at Fix in Hackney, London.

SPORTS & REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Sports & remedial massage is not limited to people playing sports, it can be beneficial for everyone! Excellent for specific aches, pains & injuries. Expect a targeted massage using a range of techniques including deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy technique, myofascial release and stretching depending on your needs. My main love is myofascial release which I’ve had fantastic results with. Treatments may include postural and range of motion tests and hands on techniques to identify muscular imbalances, dysfunction and any compensation patterns in the body. Depending on your needs I may offer specific stretches, strengthening exercises or mobilisations you can practice at home, to help you maintain & enhance the benefits of treatment. This type of massage is great for treating

• All types of muscular aches & pains

• Plantar fasciitus

• Sciatica

• Tension headaches

• TMJ (jaw) pain

• ACL surgery recovery

• Post strain/ sprain recovery

• Post training recovery

• Injury prevention

RELAXATION MASSAGE

Massage can have a profoundly relaxing & soothing effect on the nervous system. Excellent for stress, burn out & fatigue. We can focus on common areas of tension including back, neck, shoulders, jaw & head for gentle release.

PREGNANCY & POSTNATAL MASSAGE

In Pre-natal massage positioning is adapted so that you and bump are super comfortable and supported, either lying on your side or sat up & supported by pillows. We can work to ease common areas of tension during pregnancy as baby grows, massage can be deeply relaxing & soothing which benefits both you & baby.
*If you are less than 12 weeks pregnant please contact me before booking.

For Post-natal massage the aim is to nourish, as you enjoy some time to yourself - rest is key to healing! We can work on common areas of tension from carrying & feeding. For some women post C- section the scar may cause a pulling or tight feeling as you return to being more active, we can work on releasing any adhesions in the scar tissue which result in this tension. I have a holistic approach to post natal healing and can put you in touch with fantastic health experts from physiotherapists, osteopaths, nutritionists, PT’s, pilates teachers, acupuncturists and reflexologists.
*Note that you must be at least 6 weeks post birth, and for scar work your scar must be fully healed.

MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE / DRY NEEDLING

Medical Acupuncture (also referred to as Dry Needling) is a form of therapy where very fine needles are inserted into specific points (trigger points) in the body. The aim is to improve the quality and quantity of movement available to you, working on the muscular & fascial tissue.
