Massage Therapist

Roger is a level 3 qualified massage therapist. 

He began his career in the construction industry as a builder and over the years picked up many injuries, aches and pains and suffered wear and tear to his muscles and joints. Roger always turned to massage therapy or physio therapy to obtain the help needed and so began his love affair with massage. In addition to being beneficial for his body it also helped him greatly to manage stress and to relax.

Roger is a massive believer that massage therapy is as good for your mental well-being as it is for soothing those tight tired muscles. Many clients have told him that they have had their best nights sleep after their massage treatment, a 60 minute massage can be equivalent to 8 hours sleep in the form of relaxation.

Why massage?

Massage is one of the very oldest forms of medicine. Hippocrates treated physical injuries in the fifth century with friction which was an old massage technique. He promoted a healthy way of life even back in those ancient times by prescribing a combination of massage, a healthy diet, exercise, fresh air, and music to help restore health.

So why would you want a massage? You may ask. One of the immediate benefits of massage is the feeling of deep relaxation and feeling calm. This happens because massage prompts the release of endorphins which are chemicals in your brain that produce feelings of well-being. Levels of stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol are reduced. By reducing these, studies indicate that this can help boost our immune systems.

Some of the physical benefits of massage are:

• Reduced muscle tension
• Improved circulation
• Stimulation of the lymphatic system
• Reduction of stress hormones
• Relaxation
• Increased joint mobility and flexibility
• Improve skin tone
• Improved recovery of soft tissue injuries
• Heightened mental alertness
• Reduced anxiety and depression.
