Age well, move well, feel well in Walthamstow.
As we get older, staying comfortable, mobile and independent becomes even more important. Therapeutic massage can be a gentle but powerful way to support healthy ageing — especially for active women in their 60s and beyond.
Here’s how it helps:
✨ Keeps you moving comfortably
Regular massage supports mobility and flexibility, helping you stay confident with the activities you enjoy — from local walks, growing veg, swimming and exercise classes. This can be key to maintaining independence and quality of life.
✨ Boosts circulation for faster recovery
Massage encourages healthy blood flow, helping deliver nutrients to your muscles and joints while easing stiffness. Many people find it helps them bounce back quicker after activity.
✨ Supports natural pain regulation
By easing muscle tension and soothing your nervous system, massage can help reduce everyday aches — especially in the back, hips and shoulders.
✨ Helps manage stress & improve sleep
Massage is shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) and activate the body’s relaxation response. Better sleep, steadier mood and improved wellbeing often follow.
✨ Keeps your tissues supple
Working on muscles, fascia and connective tissue may help maintain elasticity and keep you moving more freely.
Massage works best alongside good nutrition, weight-bearing exercise, strength training and your regular healthcare — a helpful, holistic part of ageing well.
At Ashlins Natural Health, we offer therapeutic massage 7 days a week, including ground floor rooms, and we’ve been trusted by thousands of local people since 1994.
If you’d like support to keep moving comfortably and confidently, we’d love to help.
