A Powerful Tool
There is no escaping the power of bodywork. Whatever your reasons for trying it (a nice treat, pain management, or stress relief), or the lovely descriptions therapists use to describe it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic), massage therapy is a powerful tool in any healthy lifestyle habit.
Experts indicate that stress is the cause of over 90% of ill health and disease. Nothing else ages us faster, internally and externally than high levels of stress.
During stressful experiences, the sympathetic nervous system floods your system with adrenaline. Your heartbeat increases and blood pumps to the muscles ready to fight or run. Muscles tighten, and the breath restricts. You stop digesting, and your brain shuts down making it difficult to think. Cortisol is released into the system and undermines our immune system. In the short term, we can cope with some level of stress, but when this level of stress is left unattended to for prolonged periods, we are subjecting our bodies to more serious ill health and diseases.
​
​
While eliminating anxiety and pressure in this modern, fast-paced world may be idealistic, its' not realistic. However, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress by:
​
-
Decreasing anxiety
-
Enhancing sleep quality
-
Boosting energy and lowering fatigue
-
Improving concentration
-
Increasing circulation
-
Clients often report a sense of balance after a massage
As each person has a different reason for massage, I can use different techniques (stretches, gentle massage, deep tissue massage, hands-free or relaxation work) to ensure you achieve your desired outcome. So, whether you want to pamper yourself, work a painful area, promote injury recovery, or just gain a sense of overall well-being, then this can easily be achieved with holistic massage.
What my clients say
"I had the most amazing back, neck and shoulder massage with Sharon today. I have been working long hours from home over the last few weeks and was suffering backache and very tense, aching shoulders and neck. Just an hour with Sharon and all of that pain and stiffness has melted away."
Rachel Rock
"I visited Sharon for the first time this morning for a full body massage. This was as much about relaxation and mental wellbeing as it was for tension release in my shoulders.
​
Sharon was very friendly and welcoming. She took the time to discuss my needs and what would be involved in the treatment. The massage was amazing, very professional and exactly what I needed. I left feeling much calmer, with more movement in my neck and ready to face the day. I would recommend Sharon in a heartbeat and am already planning my next visit."
