Wellbeing Massage

Here I make no claims that massage alone can improve the aches and pains mentioned in this website. The Wellbeing Massage has evolved at the clinic following feedback from patients: Initial visits were made to deal with a specific ache and pain, then, following the resolution of the problem I found that people still wanted to re-book. As you may have read, my philosophy is to empower people to find the triggers that cause their discomfort and, hopefully, empower them to not need regular osteopathic treatment¹, so the notion of a treatment session with no physical pain to treat caused me to reflect on this situation.

I concluded that relaxation is an important component of wellness and pain management, its value, therefore could not be underestimated. The emotional value of touch and the effects on mood² and mental health³ are so profound that I could not ignore the fact that a good massage actually makes us feel good.

I can happily report that this concept links with osteopathic principles that the human body is a functional unit: Mind, body and spirit are interconnected. So for this reason I have included Wellbeing Massage at the clinic, whether it be a one off or a regular appointment I will be happy to provide you with some ‘YOU’ time.

¹ Please note there are some conditions that do benefit from regular sessions of osteopathy.
² & ³ Please do get in touch if you would like to see references relating to the effect of touch.
