Hendrickson Method® Massage and Manual Therapy
I am constantly amazed at how quick and effective this treatments is, to treat acute and chronic pain, even with very long standing conditions. It can help you recover from pain and gain more movement and flexibility and is a much preferred alternative to deep tissue massage, as it is not painful to receive. Using massage, muscle energy techniques and gentle exercises, Hendrickson Method® can help relieve:
Back pain including sciatica
Sports injuries
Neck pain and loss of motion in the neck
Hip pain
Shoulder injuries
Knee pain
Chronic conditions such as arthritis, stiffness and loss of motion
Foot pain including plantar fasciitis
Pain and stiffness in hands; numbness in the arms, hands, legs or feet
Chronic migraines/headaches.
This treatment is carried out without oil and with the client clothed. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.
You can read more about Hendrickson and see how it is performed here. I am now using the Hendrickson Method in conjunction with Deep Oscillation® Therapy. See below for more details.

Deep Oscillation Therapy®
DEEP OSCILLATION® is an internationally patented, proven technology based on the effects of creating an electrostatic field in the tissue of the client. Easy application is from therapist to client via hygienic, vinyl gloved hands; utilising all normal massage movements or via circular movements over the tissue with a handheld applicator. The special structure of DEEP OSCILLATION® allows the creation of biologically effective oscillations in the treated tissue using electrostatic attraction and friction. In contrast to other therapies, these pleasant oscillations have a gentle and deep-acting effect on all tissue components to an 8 cm depth (through skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat, muscles, blood and lymph vessels).
Because of the non-invasive, non-traumatic, gentle nature of this therapy, very early possibilities of application are possible following injury and from Day One post operatively. Chronic conditions can also be worked upon with effective results.
The following physiological effects of DEEP OSCILLATION® are clinically proven:
20 mins - £25, 30 mins - £28, 45 mins £40, 60 mins - £50
Can be combined with most other treatments
Deep Tissue Massage
This type of treatment is usually used to treat chronic pain and stiffness, and differs from Swedish Massage which tends to be lighter and applied to promote relaxation. Elbows and forearms may be used by the therapist to apply increased pressure. Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of muscles, tendons and ligaments and can be extremely effective in reducing stiffness and pain.
30 mins - £28 or 60 mins - £50
Leg and Foot Treatment
A wonderful massage treatment for legs and feet, especially to address very dry, delicate skin, using the wonderful 'This Works Dry Leg Oil'. This luxurious, 100% natural Superblend of thirteen high-grade essential oils and six cold-pressed plant oils includes Rose Oil, protective Tuberose, hydrating Sandalwood and calming Evening Primrose, which together help maintain the lipid skin barrier and reduce visible signs of ageing, including dry, scaly, dull skin. Includes leg and foot massage and reflexology. An absolute treat for legs and feet!!
45 mins - £40
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system is a delicate and often over-loaded vascular system close to the skin which requires as much, if not more, attention as our muscular-skeletal system, particularly in women. Swollen tissue, puffy ankles, face and hands, cellulite and water retention, sinusitis, migraine, hormone imbalance, deficient immune system, fatigue and constipation are some of the conditions caused, in part, to inadequate drainage of the lymph nodes. Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a special massage technique which gently 'pumps' the major lymph nodes and then 'directs' the flow of lymph towards these sites. Improvement in any of the above symptoms can be quite dramatic even after only one or two treatments. It is a light and pleasantly relaxing treatment. This treatment is often recommended by medical practitioners to clients who have had surgery, particularly liposuction.
75 mins - £60
Pregnancy Massage
A wonderful, full body treatment for ladies who are 14 weeks pregnant or more. With the use of a special support, you are able to lie face down on the couch so that you can receive a massage to the back and back of legs, as well as a relaxing massage to the rest of the body if required. If you have had any complications during this or any previous pregnancy, it is advisable to check with your doctor before receiving a treatment.
60 mins - £50, 30 mins - £28
Reflexology
A science based on the principle that a reflex point in the foot relates to each organ, function, and part of the body. By applying a deep pressure technique to these reflexes the practitioner seeks to normalise bodily function. It is an holistic treatment enabling the internal defences to maximise their effect. Amongst many conditions which will respond are; asthma and other respiratory conditions; back pain; and digestive problems.
60 mins - £50
Reiki
Reiki is a wonderful, relaxing treatment that can restore balance in your life and enhance all other forms of treatment, both orthodox and complementary. Working with the body's electromagnetic energy system and the universal energy all around us, energy is drawn by the recipient to the areas of most imbalance within them, bringing mind, body and soul back into alignment. There is no need to undress and treatments can be given lying down or seated. It is possible for healing to take place on any level of being; physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. The practitioner gently places their hands, non intrusively, over a series of positions covering the entire body. A deeply relaxing, nurturing treatment that can bring about great positive change.
70 mins - £50
Swedish Massage
This treatment involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish massage can be both relaxing and energising, and pressure can be light or firmer, depending on preference. Either treatment can incorporate scalp massage, if desired.
Back, neck & Shoulder (30 mins) or Full Body (60 mins)
30 mins - £28 or 60 mins - £50
Sports Massage/Sports Injury Treatment
Sports massage is a type of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue (skin, tendons, ligaments, muscles and fascia) which benefits someone who takes part in regular physical activity. It is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. Having regular sports massage, before and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
Sports injury treatment helps with such things as sprains, strains, tears and rupture. Using Deep Oscillation® Therapy, it is possible to treat these injuries immediately . See Deep Oscillation® Therapy for more details.
30 mins - £28, 45 mins - £40 or 60 mins - £50

Relaxation Massage Treatments
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from flowers and plants to help balance the emotions and improve general health and wellbeing. I will choose a blend of essential oils to address your symptoms or mood. An aromatherapy session can alleviate stress and tension and often induces a sense of deep relaxation, increased well-being, renewed energy and vigour. Studies demonstrate that regular aromatherapy massage can help with a wide variety of health concerns, including muscle aches and pains, skin problems, poor sleep, anxiety and depression. Can be a full body treatment or just back, neck and shoulders.
30 mins - £28, 60mins - £50
Balinese Massage
A deep, luxurious, full body massage including head and scalp, using warm exotic essential oils, combining Acupressure, Reflexology and Massage. This treatment begins with inhalation of Frankincense oil to aid deep relaxation. Drift away to sounds of the sea while massage strokes are performed in long, continuous motion to promote deep relaxation and gentle joint stretches are applied to get the energy moving throughout the body. At the very end of the treatment you are covered in a warm blanket and left to relax to enable the effects of the treatment to integrate into the body, mind a spirit. Total relaxation! This is a firm favourite with my clients!
75 mins - £60
