Good morning everyone

I will now be offering limited availability for massage treatments. Hopefully it won’t be forever, but it’s something I have to do for now until I find out the best way to balance everything.

I am embarking on an another new adventure, so please bear with me as I try and organise everything and find my feet. At this minute in time there are a lot of unknowns, so for the first 2 weeks of September I won’t be taking any bookings and thereafter I will update my availability

Thank you for all of your support so far ✨💫🤩

‼️‼️‼️‼️

Thank you for being patient ☺️

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cancel the rest of my appointments this week ❌
I am only just starting to eat proper meals again, after not eating for 4 days and only having toast for 3 ☹️

I do not have the strength in me to carry out massages to the level at which I usually perform and I want to make sure that I feel strong enough to provide that service before coming back. This weekend should provide that 💪🏼

Thank you for your patience and understanding

Emily ✨💫

‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️

Since coming off of my holiday on Wednesday, I have been unwell. I am still not 100% and I’m still experiencing symptoms of my illness.

I will be messaging clients directly as well, but this does mean I’m going to have to cancel my Tuesday and Wednesday appointments ❌
I will keep you updated for appointments at the back end of the week, as to whether I am feeling better or not!

My main concern comes from the amount of contact during massages; I am not comfortable and I would hate to pass anything on to my clients. I don’t like cancelling and never thought I’d have to, but the health of myself and the safety of my clients is always at the forefront of my mind and my main priority!

I hope you understand 😌
I will be in contact to reschedule the appointments that have been cancelled ✨💫

Thank youuuu,
Emily 🤩

Wow, wow, wow! 🤩

Before (not pictured): both shoulders were raised up towards the ears

During: using a number of different techniques, I released tension from the client’s right side which lowered her shoulder

After: tension was released from the left side

Continued massage will creating lasting results, however you can see here the benefit that just one massage can give you! 🤩

Why I use grapeseed oil;
🍇 Gentle on the skin- suitable for the most sensitive skin types
🍇 Contains vitamin E- hydrating for the skin
🍇 Doesn’t clog pores
🍇 It’s anti-microbial properties means it’s great for those of you with oily skin

Don’t feel the need to remove the oil straight away if you don’t want to. The oil is not only used as a way of reducing friction on the skin but also has so many benefits for your skin!! 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻🍇

As a little reminder, these are the massages that I provide and just a few of the benefits of massage/continued massage.

If you are coming for a particular issue, we will discuss this beforehand and go into further depth during the consultation, so timings may vary for that- but benefits still remain the same.

Apart from legs and full body, I don't specify what timings must cover what areas of the body as it depends what you feel is needed. As a guideline; 45minute massage would cover upper back, neck and shoulder; 60minute would cover full back, neck and shoulder or full back and legs. But this would also be discussed during the booking stage.

There are many many benefits of massage, not just physically but psychologically as well- you won't believe me until you try 🤩🤩

When talking to people and massaging them, the majority know what a knot is, but aren't 100% sure on what a 'knot' is (how it's formed, why it's there, what it's actual name is etc). So I thought I'd answer a few of those questions on here.

Knots (also known as an adhesion or myofascial trigger points) are hard, sensitive areas of muscles that tighten/contract even when the muscle is relaxed. Healthy fascia is smooth and flexible but, due to repetitive motion, overuse, too much physical inactivity, poor posture or injury, the fascia can get tight and crinkled- creating a 'knot' of the fibres.

An adhesion within the fascia (connective tissue) not only affects that site but also affects the surrounding area, which can inhibit/restrict muscle elasticity and joint range of motion. In the picture you can see that the connected fascia is affected as it's being pulled in with the formation of the adhesion.

Just because you feel pain in a specific area, doesn't mean that's where the problem originates.

Adhesions can be tender to touch, but they can also be there and present no pain- so you may not know if you have any. Shoulders, backs and bums are the most common places for adhesions to present themselves, and although stubborn little things, the process for treating them is pretty simple.

A combination of massage and trigger point therapy can help remove the adhesions. After a 10-second test to see if we are actually dealing with a trigger point, trigger point therapy is performed. This involves applying direct pressure onto the adhesion, tailored to your pain threshold. Although painful/uncomfortable at first the pain begins to reduce and is repeated for 2-3 minutes, or until I cannot reach the same pain level anymore. Trigger points LOVE pressure, will relax when pressure is applied (that's why the pain reduces when I apply pressure to it).

If you are suffering with discomfort, muscle aches/pain, coming back from an injury or think you have a few trigger points that need sorting out, drop me a message and I can get you booked in ✨✨

Swapping the heater for the fan
🥵☀️

If you’ve been to me you’ll know my room gets real cold, so the heater is always there to keep us nice and toasty. Well, it’s deffo not been needed this past week, and by the looks of it (fingers crossed🤞🏼) it won’t be needed for the coming weeks 😅

Instead, the room is boiling (I know, shocked!). So the trusty fan is here to keep us all cool!

Stay cool guys, stay hydrated! 💧☀️

13/06/2023

A very busy, but very hot day today! ☀️🥵

If you are booked in for a massage today, please come prepared, bring water with you and drink plenty afterwards….. 💧

Water is essential to help flush out the toxins post massage, but the room will be hotter so the fluids will help reduce the risk of dehydration 💧

✨ Please note, your massage may run over slightly if you require more breaks, to grab a drink or get some air. Just let me know and I’ll try make it as cool as I can ✨

During a full body massage, my client experienced pain/discomfort when I was massaging her hamstrings (view comments for the review!). This would have negatively impacted her thoughts on the massage and the outcome of her massage, if it was to have continued (having a negative mentality around the massage can affect the after effects of a massage and aggravating the muscles too much can cause tissue trauma- such as muscle cramps/spasms).

Instead of moving onto the next muscle, I performed soft tissue release (STR) on the hamstring as an alternative treatment method, enabling the massage to continue with less pain.

STR incorporates mobilisation of joints in order to stretch or mobilise an entire muscle or specific parts of a muscle.

How is this performed?
1. Place muscle in ‘shortened position’
2. Apply pressure (AKA the lock)
3. The joint closest to the area is moved to create a focused stretch between the lock and the joint
4. Repeat

After the first round or so, I get my client to move the joint on their own (unassisted from me) so that I can apply more pressure on the lock and create a more effective stretch

The benefits of STR include:
- Increased mobility
- Promotion of optimal scar tissue formation in soft tissue injuries
- Breaking down adhesions (‘knots’)
- Improved ROM in joints
- Promotion of muscular balance

✨ Communication is key 🗝️ ✨
If something is uncomfortable, painful or sensitive or if you want more pressure/less pressure let me know. It’s your massage, and I want you to get the most out of it and go away feeling the best you can!

We will work together to make sure this happens ✨💫
