I am seeing a lot of people who are struggling with plantar fasciitis which is inflammation of the plantar fascia that connects your heel to your toes.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE is a quick and efficient way to detox your body and remove excess fluid from the body. Not only this, but it can help you to LOSE WEIGHT as it boosts the immune system whose job it is to absorb and transport digestive fat in the bloodstream.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE is one of the best things you can treat your body to during pregnancy. Nine months of carrying a baby alters your body in ways you cannot imagine so ensuring your mind and body is in top form to welcome your bundle into the world is essential.
How does pregnancy massage benefit you?
* Lowers stress hormones which reduces anxiety
* Can improve mood and sleep patterns
* Natural pain reliever as massage increases serotonin and endorphin levels, easing aches and pain
* Helps to maintain proper posture to cope with change in alignment
* Improves muscle tone and flexibility
* Lessens swelling and fluid (oedema) which can accumulate in the extremities particularly in the latter stages of pregnancy.
* Improved circulation

Pregnancy massage is safe, natural, and highly effective so feel free to get in touch with me to see how best to start a treatment plan to prepare you for the arrival of your little one!

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE is compulsory in many countries following surgery.

Aside from helping the body to recover from an operation here are some other fantastic benefits:

* helps to decrease inflammation. Most illnesses and diseases in the body are a result of inflammation.
* effective at helping to fight against colds and flu - LDM boosts the immune system which is essential for combating coughs and colds.
* makes you better at burning fat. When the lymphatic system is blocked up, fat is harder to remove. A clear lymphatic system increases the body's ability to burn fat and use it for energy.
* reduces the risk of chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
* LDM decreases triglycerides which could lower your risk of heart disease.

How are you going to improve your health?

I'm seeing a lot of people, particularly those working from, who are struggling with swollen hands, feet, arms and legs. Sitting or standing for long periods causes the blood circulation to slow down which leads to blood pooling in the vessels along the toes, heels, ankles, arms and feet.
Massage is a brilliant way to boost your circulation and quickly get your system pumping but here are some other steps you can take alongside to keep the swelling at bay:-
1) get moving - if you're sat for long periods, take 5 minutes every hour to walk around and get your heart pumping
2) sit down - if you're stood for long periods, get your feet up and rest them.
3) lie down and put your feet up against a wall (above heart height) for 20 minutes. Doing this a few times a week will make a huge difference to your circulation
4) compression socks.
5) if you are sat at a desk, elevate your legs.
