Complementary therapies can help support you in various circumstances. You may wish to work on patterns of holding in your body. For example, you may decide to have Swedish massage to relieve headaches and free up a restriction in movement caused by tension in your neck and shoulders. You might be suffering from anxiety and the touch of the practitioner helps your nervous system to relax. Or perhaps you're experiencing stress or going through an emotional rough patch in your life and you just need some TLC. Some people seek out complementary therapy treatment because it improves their sleep. Alternatively you may just wish to relax, switch off and feel pampered. As the name suggests, complementary therapies can work well alongside conventional medicine. Giving attention to the body in this way might also be a support during counselling or psychotherapy. You may wish to come on a one-off visit or more regularly.
At Pinehill Massage I offer Swedish massage, traditional head massage, aromatherapy massage and also reflexology, but my approach is more flexible, mindful and intuitive and your treatment will probably contain elements of numerous therapies, depending on your needs.
Pinehill massage aims to be a kind and inclusive space; people of every race, ethnicity, nationality, neurodiversity, faith, gender, sexuality, class, age and body shape are welcome.
Although I have no official training in trauma awareness I seek to educate myself about trauma through books and keeping up with new research. If trauma is affecting your life and you are not sure whether complementary therapy treatments such as massage are right for you, but you'd like to give it a go then get in touch and we can discuss this.
