The Tapping method reduces stress and anxiety..

Regular tapping helps reduce feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and even trauma-related stress.
Studies show it can quickly bring emotional relief by helping the brain “rewire” how it responds to triggering thoughts or memories

People ask me why I sometimes use the tapping method on clients. One of many reasons is, it supports physical healing

Because stress contributes to inflammation, tension, and pain, reducing stress through tapping can improve symptoms like headaches, chronic pain, fatigue, or digestive issues. Some people report better sleep, energy, and immune balance.

How massage helps relieve puffiness and bloating

Massage can be an effective way to help reduce water retention by stimulating the lymphatic system, which is responsible for draining excess fluid from the body’s tissues. Gentle, rhythmic movements encourage lymph flow and improve circulation, helping the body naturally eliminate waste and reduce swelling, especially in areas like the legs, ankles, and feet.

Regular massage not only helps relieve the feeling of heaviness and bloating but also promotes relaxation and overall wellbeing. When combined with hydration, light exercise, and a balanced diet, it can support better fluid balance and healthier tissue function throughout the body.

Did you know?
Skipping helps improve your natural 'spring' in your feet. This is why kids can jump higher than us older folk.
Skip in the hallways at work like me 😂 or at home might be best if you feel silly lol.

The Gentle Power of Massage for Arthritis

At Lorenza Almeida massage, I understand how arthritis can affect not just your joints, but your whole sense of wellbeing.
The stiffness, swelling, and constant ache can make even simple movements feel difficult. Massage offers a gentle and natural way to bring relief. By improving circulation and loosening the muscles around affected joints, massage helps reduce pain, ease tension, and promote a greater sense of comfort and mobility.

Each session is tailored to your body’s needs. With slow, mindful techniques and light pressure, massage encourages flexibility and helps the joints move more freely. The improved blood flow also supports the body’s natural healing processes, helping to reduce inflammation and stiffness over time.

Many clients find they can move more easily, sleep better, and enjoy their daily activities with less discomfort.

Beyond the physical relief, massage can also soothe the emotional strain that comes with living with chronic pain. The nurturing touch helps calm the nervous system and releases endorphins, the body’s natural “feel good” hormones creating a sense of relaxation and peace.

Massage for arthritis isn’t just about easing pain, it’s about helping you reconnect with your body and rest, balance, one session at a ttime.

Lorenza massage offers permanent spots so you have the day and time that suites you all booked up so no one can take your spot. If you haven’t done this, talk to me and i can organise this with you at your next appointment.

Fridays will be opening soon. Make sure you secure your permanent spot before it gets taken.

Why leg and foot massage is important for health

Leg and foot massage offers many important benefits for older adults, particularly in supporting circulation and reducing discomfort.

As we age, blood flow naturally slows, which can lead to cold feet, swelling, or cramping. Gentle massage encourages healthier circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues while helping to reduce fluid retention. This improvement in blood flow can ease fatigue, promote mobility, and support overall leg and foot health.

Massage is also highly effective in relieving pain and stiffness commonly experienced in the feet and legs. Conditions such as arthritis, neuropathy, and general wear and tear can cause ongoing soreness, making movement more difficult.

By relaxing muscles, reducing joint pressure, and easing nerve sensitivity, regular massage can help improve comfort, flexibility, and confidence in walking—essential for maintaining independence and activity in later years.

Finally, regular foot care through massage can assist in early detection of potential concerns such as skin changes, infections, or circulation issues. This preventative aspect is especially valuable for those with diabetes or vascular conditions.

With its combination of physical, emotional, and preventative benefits, leg and foot massage is a simple yet powerful way to support the health and quality of life of older adults.

Massaging the bottom of your feet is more important than most people realise — it’s not just about “it feels nice.” The benefits are both physical and neurological:

1. Improves circulation

Your feet are the farthest point from your heart, and blood flow can be sluggish there, especially if you sit or stand for long periods. Massage stimulates circulation, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues while helping flush away waste products.

2. Relieves tension and pain

The bottom of your feet contain dozens of small muscles, ligaments, and fascia that can tighten from walking, standing, or wearing unsupportive shoes. Gentle pressure helps release these tight tissues, easing discomfort in your feet, ankles, and even up into your calves.

3. Stimulates nerve endings

There are over 7,000 nerve endings in the soles of your feet. Massaging them can send calming signals to your nervous system, reducing stress and promoting relaxation throughout your whole body.

4. Supports balance and posture

Healthy, mobile foot muscles help you maintain stability. By keeping the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles supple, you can reduce strain on your knees, hips, and lower back.

5. Links to reflexology points

In reflexology, different spots on the soles correspond to organs and systems in the body. While scientific evidence on this is mixed, many people find that stimulating these points helps them feel more energised and balanced.

6. A mini self-check

Massaging your feet regularly makes you more aware of tenderness, swelling, or changes in skin texture — so you can spot early signs of injury, nerve issues, or circulation problems.
