Alice Walsh - Massage Therapy

I'm now fully booked for September both at Clinic 124, Whitstable and my Canterbury location. I am starting to get booked up for October, so I would encourage you to book online in advance if you're wishing to hold a regular treatment slot between now and January 25. 🌟

If you would like to be added to my cancellation list please do get in touch but please note I am closing my acceptance of new clients to my practice for the moment. I can highly recommend in Whitstable and Hythe and in Folkestone as alternatives 🙏🏼

These sessions are for those looking to create a regular self check in journey. Ready to be with those aspects of self that may have been isolated and denied. To allow the possibility of bliss and pain to co exist. To feel all that it is to be human.
If you a wish to be part of a small informal, caring, authentic, compassionate and brave group of explorers, then contact me for a place 🥰
If you are new to Conscious Connected Breathwork, but want to join - please come to a beginners breathwork day with me, or book a 1-1 session.

Lovely feedback and great results 🙏🏼

Brilliant Saturday with 🤸🏼‍♀️ learning about and the use of Reformer Pilates equipment. I truly value Kristine's full body approach as a highly informative and experienced Pilates instructor with a deep understanding of the specifics of body mechanics and a fantastic eye for detail.

Kristine's sessions help people achieve better movement, posture, body awareness and much more. It's been a pleasure to see the difference with my clients when they incorporate both Pilates and Massage Therapy to reach their health goals 🙏

Infraspinatus Muscle 🔎💪📍
I've been finding trigger points in this muscle with many people this week and thought to share a little information about it.

This muscle commonly defers pain between the shoulder blades, the front of the shoulders (bicep area) and sometimes to where the top of the neck and base of the skull meet.

The infraspinatus muscle is one of the rotator cuff muscles that helps to stabilise the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) and externally rotate the arm (humerus.)

Overloading this muscle can lead to tension causing difficulty to:
- reach behind the back (difficulty fastening bra or getting wallet out of back pocket)
- push upwards in a bench press motion
- raise arm to head (washing hair, brushing teeth)

Trigger points are adhesions "knots" in the muscles that with direct compression or muscle contraction can elicit local or predictable referred pain patterns. I treat trigger points with various techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, heat therapy as well as a range of stretching tecnniques using the and sometimes cupping therapy.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

💠 I am now offering treatments between 2pm - 7.30pm on Tuesdays at Clinic 124, so post-work treatments are now available.

💠 Additional treatment days: 2 Thursdays a month 9- 5pm. These will be:
10th & 24th August
7th & 28th September

2nd November
14th, 21st & 28th December

💠 Offering 90 minute appointments at Clinic 124, appointments by arrangement only. Please note that I can get booked up to 3-4 weeks in advance, so if you are hoping to have a longer appointment, please let me know in advance to avoid disappointment.

💠 I will be away for 4 weeks in November but have added some additional days before and after I return.

💠 All available appointments at Clinic 124 between now and January 1st 2023 can be booked in online via the www.clinic124.co.uk website (aside from 90 minute appointments which are by arrangement only.)

Working on the Trapezius (traps) and the deeper muscle layers of the upper shoulders. I often get asked to work in these areas as our posture, carrying heavy hand-bags or shopping, mobile phone use, driving and day to day stresses all contribute to building tension here. Trigger points in these muscles often lead not only to pain and reduced mobility in the neck and shoulders, but also to referred pain around the temples and eyes, jaw and scalp creating tension headaches 🤕. It's all very much interconnected! 💫

Lovely feedback from Lauren 🙏

🌟Thank you to Helen for a lovely review!
