WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FROM GETTING BACK INTO TRAINING? DON'T PUT UP WITH PAIN!
myofit massage™ will help you live a healthier and relaxed life, and relieve your aches and pains the drug free way
There are many ways in which the benefits of massage can improve the quality of your life. Many people think the benefits of massage are restricted to relaxation (which in itself is hugely important!) but there are numerous other health and well-being benefits.
Massage works by soothing soft tissue and encouraging relaxation. Massage is especially effective in treating ‘vicious cycle’ complaints. For instance, a tension headache is often self-sustaining because the pain makes the sufferer clench the affected muscles even harder. This, in turn, creates more pain. A thorough neck and shoulder massage can release muscle tension and break the pain cycle.
Modern studies have shown that massage can be used to successfully treat a variety of disorders, including:
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Back or neck pain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Chronic pain
|
- Constipation
- Depression
- Headache
- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
|
The key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.
Other benefits of massage include:
- Deep relaxation and calm
- Reduced muscle tension
- Improved circulation
- Stimulation of the lymphatic system
- Reduction of stress hormones
- Improved skin tone

- Increased joint mobility and flexibility
- Speedier healing of soft tissue injuries
- Heightened mental alertness
- Reduced anxiety and depression

How you will be assessed
I will talk through your problem areas and discuss how long you have been affected. I will then look and 'listen' for clues in order to provide an effective treatment plan, looking for the original biomechanical dysfunction, and so healing the cause of the disorder, as well as the symptoms.
If you have an injury or painful point that needs work I will not only work on that body part – for instance if you have a sore thigh muscle, you may favour the other leg imperceptibly to avoid causing more pain to the original affected area, thus causing strain on the other leg. Also, you may be feeling pain in one part of the body that is “referred”, meaning that it isn’t the part that is in fact injured.
Remedial massage aims to correct chronic imbalances. The techniques may be gentle or firm, deep or shallow, depending on your preference and what the issue requires.
