What is therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic massage is designed to relieve tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on underlying tissue layers, to release tension in sore, tight muscles.
Therapeutic Massage uses a combination of deep tissue, sports massage and advanced massage techniques. (Especially trigger point therapy, soft tissue release and neuromuscular techniques). Working intuitively with slow deep release allows the body to slow down and relax.  These methods can be successful with clients that have chronic pain, tension and stress, who require deep massage combined with a therapeutic approach.
Therapeutic massage tends to focus on the problem areas, and may be deeper than other massages. The massage may be a full body massage, however the session can be tailored to the areas that need most work: often the shoulders, back or legs. Therapeutic massage may also be a relaxing, stress relieving treatment and is suitable for people without specific problems.
Each session is preceded by a short consultation in order to tailor the massage to the client.

More about massage:

Massage is a safe, effective and natural way to relieve stress and pain.  It improves your feeling of well being and can bring soothing relief for muscular aches and pains.  Injuries can be healed by breaking down scar tissue to strengthen and aid the healing process, whilst your circulation is stimulated – promoting lymphatic drainage and increasing blood flow.  As toxins are released, the muscles are stretched and stimulated which improve your flexibility, posture and skin tone.
Too much unresolved stress in our lives can cause constant muscular tension. This tension or tightness reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscles and organs and also restricts nerve & lymph supply. Tension creates a tendency for a build up of toxins in the body, and reduces the flow of the more subtle energy or life force. Tension can lead to symptomatic feelings of fatigue, heaviness, aches and pains, tightness of muscles and stiffness. Muscular stress can increase the likelihood of strains and injuries.
Massage releases your natural endorphins that reduce pain and give feel-good factor. Is a great way to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and so lowering the pulse, slowing breathing and, in general, chilling you out.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the expertise of a highly skilled registered Physio/Massage therapist Lenka who truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment I entered her studio, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for what would be an exceptional experience. Lenka exhibited a profound understanding of her craft, seamlessly blending various techniques to address my specific needs. Her hands seemed to possess an intuitive understanding of the body, effortlessly relieving tension and promoting relaxation. What truly set Lenka apart was her dedication to ensuring the utmost comfort and well-being of her clients. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and preferences, customizing the session accordingly. Her ability to create a tranquil environment allowed me to fully unwind and reap the benefits of her expertise. Not only was the physio/massage deeply therapeutic, but it also left me feeling rejuvenated and revitalized. It’s rare to encounter someone who not only excels in their profession but also approaches it with genuine care and compassion. Lenka not only met but exceeded all expectations, leaving a lasting impression. I cannot recommend Lenka’s physio/massage highly enough. Her professionalism, skill, and genuine concern for her clients make her a true lifesaver. If you’re in need of a physio/ massage that transcends the ordinary, look no further.

I am a 45 year old office based civil servant. I started seeing Lenka nearly 3 years ago when I had trouble over a period with lower back pain. After one treatment I was moving more easily and after two or three treatments my back loosened up back to normal again. I have treated myself to a regular treatment once every 4-6 weeks and no longer have any problems with my back! Thank you Lenka.
