Our Massage Therapist, Zara Bennett, has recently been on a course for Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage and she explains more:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle massage that helps relieve swelling and blockages within your lymphatic system. This is a gentle, specialised massage that uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and move lymph fluid away from swollen areas. It is an ideal treatment for post operative patients and those suffering from lymphatic conditions and during pregnancy. I am excited to offer this treatment at Wickford along with the other massage treatment I currently offer:
Sports and Remedial Massage – This is a firm and deep tissue treatment, targeting areas of muscle tension, repetitive strains and overuse injuries, relieving pain and assisting in soft tissue recovery and improved range of movement.
Pregnancy Massage – A gentle and soothing massage tailored specifically for Mums-to-be.
Indian Head Massage – A seated treatment, ideal for relaxation in the neck shoulders and upper back.
I often integrate other techniques into your treatments to aid recovery and pain relief.
Myofascial Release – A stretching movement that releases restrictions in your Fascial Connective Tissue. This is a viscus 3D body stocking throughout your body that causes pain and discomfort triggered by emotional stress and injury.
Trigger Point Therapy – A simple technique finding active trigger points in your body that refers pain and cause discomfort. Applying the correct pressure for a length of time, to deactivate, release tension and ease pain.
Cupping – A technique that involves suction cups to encourage blood flow and healing. Releasing tension in the connective tissue, to increase range of movement and ease pain.
