Sports / deep tissue massage is a technique that uses slow and deep strokes and a sustained pressure to target the deeper layers of your muscles and the connective tissues around them.
A deep tissue massage is a great choice for anyone who engages in physical activities or those who have an injury or chronic pain. It is a versatile form of treatment providing a means of delivering a more effective form of therapy.
Perfect as part of a recovery process and often an addition to compliment physiotherapy.
Swedish massage employs a therapeutic approach characterised by smooth, flowing strokes aimed at fostering relaxation and diminishing stress.
Unlike the targeted pressure of deep tissue or sports massage, relaxation massage serves to calm the nervous system, improve blood circulation, and release muscle tension.
■ Reduced stress and anxiety levels.
A sports massage can help to decrease stress and anxiety levels by promoting the release of endorphins.
■ Improved range of motion.
Regular sports massage can help to improve joint mobility and range of motion, even if you’re not an athlete.
■ Reduced muscle tension.
A sports massage can help to reduce muscle tension and tightness, leading to increased flexibility.
■ Enhanced circulation.
The deep tissue manipulation of a sports massage can help to improve blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body.
■ Reduced risk of injury.
By improving flexibility and joint mobility, regular sports massages can help to reduce the risk of injury, even if you’re not a sports enthusiast.
■ Improved posture.
A sports massage can help to correct imbalances in your muscles and improve your overall posture.
■ Improved sleep quality.
The relaxation benefits of a sports massage can help to improve your sleep quality, even if you’re not an athlete.
■ Deep relaxation.
Any kind of massage, even deep tissue massage, helps the body to release hormones such as serotonin and dopamine, which help you to feel calm and relaxed.
■ Improved immune system function.
The increased circulation and lymphatic drainage of a sports massage can help to boost your immune system.
■ Improved cardiovascular health.
The increased circulation from a sports massage can help to improve your cardiovascular health.
These appointments are with our qualified SMA masseuse, meaning you are getting an expert who understands the physiology beneath your skin. This is normally with Liz Gardner who is a chartered physiotherapist, as well as, a SMA masseuse with many years of experience.
Choice of 60min, 45min or 30min appointments are available. Perfect as part of a recovery process and often an addition to compliment physiotherapy.
Be sure to book ahead as availability and venue choices may be limited.
Currently only available in Weston-s-Mare.
Maderotherapy uses purposefully shaped wooden tools to manipulate targeted areas of muscle, fat and cellulite, stimulating the lymphatic drainage system to rid the body of stored toxins.
It is a 100% natural non-invasive technique from Columbia. Wood therapy is a massage treatment that helps sculpt the body and removes cellulite.
Maderotherapy is different than the fat reduction in that it targets both the deepest layers and surface level of cellulite tissue. This therapy is also effective for reducing fluid retention, draining the affected areas, resulting in the reduction of pain associated with fluid retention, while also improving its appearance. Maderotherapy offers a wide range of beauty benefits, including:
■ Cellulite Reduction:
Maderotherapy’s unique wooden tools work to break down fat deposits and improve the appearance of cellulite, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
■ Skin Tightening:
The therapy stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and tone the skin
■ Lymphatic Drainage:
By encouraging lymphatic circulation, Maderotherapy aids in the removal of toxins and reduces fluid retention.
■ Improved Blood Circulation:
Enhanced circulation means healthier, more radiant skin.
■ Relaxation and Stress Relief:
The treatment’s relaxing massage elements provide a sense of well-being, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both beauty and relaxation.
The end result will be a fitter body, firm and tighter body and skin. And of course, a more relaxed, stress free you!
