“It is a historical misfortune that we have prioritised talking over touch or other somatic therapies in the past couple of centuries. This review gives us the necessary emphasis and confidence to redress this balance with further, careful study on touch interventions,”
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/apr/08/touch-reduce-pain-depression-anxiety-mental-physical-health

Shout out to everyone who is working and looking after a family whilst dealing with aches and pains, or even more serious health issues. I know this can leave you feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, so remember the power of touch. Just 10 minutes of massage or soothing touch can greatly reduce your stress levels and promote relaxation!

Massage measurably reduces stress A 10-minute massage or period of relaxation measurably increases psychophysiological relaxation, according to the results of a recent study.

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend in Morecambe attending the 'Dynamics of Depth' course at the No Hands Massage School. I loved the focus on the breath and posture to aid both deep and light body work and the interplay between these two different types of touch. I also got to meet lots of lovely therapists and talk all things massage 💚

Treatments take approximately 15 mins longer than the treatment time you book in for. This allows time for

1) Pre-treatment chat about what you would like to get from your treatment
2) Formulating a bespoke plan for your specific needs
3) Receiving your full hands-on treatment time
4) Post-treatment rehydration and discussion to ensure your needs were met/how to move forward to continue meeting your needs

Did you know that your fascia should be able to glide easily for a healthy functioning system but it can get stuck and cause pain when it encounters trauma (physial or emotional), when scar tissue is present, repetitive movements are used or it is dehydrated?

My email is down. Please contact me on here or Instagram while I sort it out. Thanks 🙏

I have space for a 30 min and a 60 min treatment tomorrow afternoon (Sat 9th). Book in online at https://nikkielliottmassage.book.app if you need some pain relief or relaxation. Thanks 💚

Myofascial Release: What an incredible treatment!

Focusing on the fascia (a web-like tissue which permeates the entire body right down to the cellular level), this treatment can reduce pain, increase range of motion, help to rebalance the body and even help to eliminate emotions that have been bound up with physical restrictions. After training and immersing myself in this practice over the last 10 months, and both giving and receiving countless treatments, I can honestly say there is something very special about this treatment. And my clients agree! This is what some of them have said about their MFR treatments:

“I’ve tried all sorts of different therapies and this is the only thing that has made a difference”
“I don’t feel any pain at all” (following the first MFR session)
“Wow, I can actually raise my arm above my head!”
“All of the pain coming from my scar has gone”
“The effects seem to last longer than from massage”
“Even when my issue returned, I felt more able to cope with it”
“I feel like it has created more space in my body”
“I can’t believe it’s had such a huge effect”
“That was like a spiritual experience”
“I can’t describe it…I feel whole”

Just received this gorgeous handmade Christmas card from one of my lovely clients 😊 Starting to feel a little bit festive!
Quick update on December appointments...I have a few appointments available tomorrow and next week. The week before Christmas I'm pretty much booked up and will be back to work on Jan 4th ☃️

Super toasty winter warmer treatments are underway with my heated massage bed. Clients are LOVING it!

My treatment room looking all cosy ready for my next client 🥰

I spent 3 days last weekend immersing myself into Part 1 of a fantastic Practical Myofascial Release course taught by the amazing Amanda Oswald from the Pain Care Clinic in Leeds. Wow! What an intense weekend. 3 days of learning, practicing and receiving MFR treatments. I feel the effects have been quite profound both physically (helping to restore some balance to my body by addressing the compensation patterns that have built up over time) and emotionally (helping me to get rid of the stress and negative emotions I had been storing in my body and really struggling to rid myself of). Can't wait for Part 2 at the end of October where there will be more focus on addressing specific chronic pain complaints and learning more techniques to deal with these.

Working in the city centre today providing some 'wellness in the workplace' massage sessions for the fabulous staff at Pareto 😊

Did you know each foot has over 20 muscles and over 7000 nerve endings! No wonder a foot massage feels so good!

*WARNING* You may leave feeling like an entirely new person (or at least a bit massage drunk 😄)

Happiness is a desk fan 😆 Hope you're all coping with the heat!
