Annie’s other treatments include:
- Lymphatic drainage – moving interstitial fluid through the body’s lymphatic system. It is particularly useful post operatively for `flushing out` anaesthetic. It is also used extensively after cosmetic surgery procedures such as Liposuction; is extremely beneficial in removing toxins, and in the early stages of colds and flu, to help stimulate and flush the body’s defences.
- Trigger point therapy – the process of deactivating trigger points that may cause local pain or refer pain and other sensations, such as headaches, to other parts of the body.
- Bone tapping – increases blood circulation and aids bone construction by stimulating bone cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) particularly helpful for clients with osteoporosis.
Annie is passionate about Holistic Massage & Bodywork; not least because of the wonderful effects it can have on the whole person, physically, emotionally and mentally.
Whether you have a specific problem or injury, or would like a stress reducing massage simply because you deserve it, an initial consultation will enable Annie to give the most appropriate and beneficial massage to suit your needs (please allow an extra 15 minutes on first appointment for this).
Massage with Caroline Fawkes
Massage can have a wide range of known health benefits. It is well known that it decreases stress levels by gently easing out tight and wound up muscles, but it can also help relieve secondary pain that often builds up around a primary source, such as arthritis.
Massage improves circulation throughout the body and speeds up the metabolism encouraging fresh nutrients and dispelling waste products, the increased blood flow also helps remove lactic acid from muscles to avoid the aches and pains associated with it. And it is worth remembering that, as well as chilling you out, massage can also increase vitality, energy and alertness.
Massage helps all of the nine systems of the body, these being Skin, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Circulation, Respiratory, Digestive, Endocrine and Genito-Urinary
