Almost anyone of any age can benefit from Sport  and Remedial massage, whether or not you engage in sport and exercise. Most of us have imbalances in our bodies as a result of occupational stresses, sports injuries, emotional or work stress, accidents, illness, posture or incorrect lifting.

Sport and remedial massage therapy helps to improve body alignment by treating the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia) and, contrary to what people say about sports massage, it should not hurt. Indeed, it should be pleasurable and relaxing because part of the therapeutic effect happens because of the healing effect on the nervous system.

It is a holistic treatment which treats the entire person and not only the area of your body that hurts.

I am a Thai Massage Therapist based in Chippenham and I offer treatments in Traditional Thai Yoga Massage (Nuad Boran) and Thai foot massage.

Thai yoga massage is a traditional form of healing which encourages the body to balance and remain healthy. It is very different to what we generally think of as massage in the West because you lie on a comfortable futon mat on the floor and remain fully clothed throughout. 

The therapist uses hands, feet and elbows in a series of moves to help free the tension trapped in your body, inducing a profound state of relaxation. Energy lines, acupressure points, muscles, ligaments and joints are stretched and opened, which stimulates energy flow and encourages freedom of movement. However, it is more than a physical therapy and works to balance and harmonise the entire body. Most people report that they sleep exceptionally well after these treatments.

Thai foot massage
This is a new therapy in Thailand which combines elements of Traditional Thai Yoga Massage and Reflexology and works on energy points in the feet and lower legs.  The massage lasts for one hour and is carried out on a massage couch using creams on the feet and lower legs.  

It is very relaxing and can help to improve circulation, boost flexibility of the feet and ankles, combat stress and insomnia and relieve headaches and migraine. It can also prevent or help to relieve a very painful condition called plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the soft tissue under the foot becomes inflamed and tight. You may feel this as pain under the heel, in the Achilles tendon and under the foot.  

Healthy feet are crucial to our well-being and problems in this area can result in impaired walking and difficulties in other parts of the body.
