This manual therapy focuses on soft tissue dysfunction, pain, tension and holding patterns. Myofascial Release involves gentle sustained pressure, to allow the fascia to return to its healthy position prior injury and to encourage fluid back into that area of the body.
Myofascial Release can increase energy, breathing capacity, restore muscle function and postural alignment, relieve physical and emotional strain, it can help balance the body and promote self-healing and relaxation by improving the circulation and nervous system transmission.
Myofascial Release Treatment is performed directly skin on skin without oils, creams or tools. Please make sure you do not apply too much moisturiser or creams onto your body prior to treatment.
Please note-with this technique the applications are 3-5 minutes long so appointments work best over 1 hour.
MFR sessions can be booked for: 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours
MFR THERAPY BALLS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE - approximate size 10cm £8 / 15cm £10 (please email for queries). The MFR ball is a single inflatable PVC ball specifically designed for use on any area of the body. It is a simple but effective tool for applying just the right amount of pressure to fascia, muscles, and trigger points to ease myofascial restrictions, tightness, and muscle spasm, and to relieve pain.
Even when you are pain-free, an MFR ball can be used regularly to help prevent future build-up of myofascial restrictions.
Bodywork days are available Monday, Wednesday & Friday depending on prior bookings.
Please email for any questions or bookings.

PELVIC FLOOR WORK:
Working externally and internally to help balance the pelvis, what it holds and where it connects to other parts of the body.
Pelvic myofascial release (MFR) is a gentle, hands-on therapy aimed at relieving tension and restrictions in the pelvic region, including muscles, connective tissue (fascia), and surrounding structures. It is often used to address conditions such as pelvic pain, scar tissue (e.g., post-surgical or postpartum), incontinence, sexual pain, or general discomfort in the pelvic area. Pelvic floor work may help back issues, piriformis pain, stress incontinence, vaginismus, vulvodynia, and general pain from urogenital surgery.
This approach is sensitive and client-centered. Techniques may include external and internal myofascial release, with your consent and active participation throughout the session.
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Pregnancy massage can be enormous benefit not only for the Mother but also to the baby. Pregnancy is a wonderful time but with the joys of a new baby comes many changes to the mothers body putting pressure on the joints, ligaments and organs, often causing discomfort and pain. Massage can also help reduce stress levels, as endorphins are released by the mother which can be passed onto the baby.
Receiving regular massage whilst pregnant can make Mother more aware of her own body to help her ability to relax during the 1st stage of labour, encouraging a shorter and easier birth.
(please note treatments should not be longer than 60 minutes and a signed consent from your GP or midwife is needed prior to treatment)
POSTNATAL MASSAGE
For easing simple aches and pains or dealing with certain issues that you are noticing, now that your baby is getting bigger.
SCAR WORK
For scar and tissue management.

SWEDISH/HOLISTIC MASSAGE:
The focus is general using long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibrations and tapping.
DEEP TISSUE:
The focus is more targeted, working on specific areas of concern or pain. A form of massage that focuses on releasing the deeper myofascial restrictions of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body. Techniques are used to work below the superficial connective tissue with the intent of breaking up old structural patterns and allowing the free flow of nutrients and oxygen to the blood.
TRIGGER POINT & NEURO-MUSCULAR TECHNIQUE (NMT)
The muscle tissue can feel denser than normal and pain or discomfort on that area may occur-often they may refer pain to another area. Referred pain is a defining symptom of a myofascial trigger-point.
Palpation is used to find trigger points. Once an area has been found, pressure is applied for a certain amount of time, within the clients pain tolerance (please note-with this technique you may need more than 1 hour).
SOUND HEALING:The vibration of sound waves is not merely perceived by the ears and the mind. The waves carry into the cells and tissues of the body, interacting with the electrochemical activity of the nervous system, helping to restore balance and homeostasis. At a cellular level the body is roughly 65% water allowing the sound waves to travel easily through the water, so you are not only hearing sound but the pulsations and vibrations of sound waves are literally washing through you, inducing effects on the body as a whole.

FOUR HAND MASSAGE with Charlotte & Sherene
A four-hand massage is a unique and deeply relaxing treatment where two therapists work in unison to massage a single client.
This technique often involves synchronized movements that mirror each other, allowing for an immersive experience that helps the body and mind release tension more effectively.
With double the hands, the brain quickly surrenders to the rhythmic flow, enhancing relaxation and often bringing a sense of profound peace and stress relief.
Four-hand massages are known to elevate the benefits of a traditional massage by delivering a multi-dimensional approach to healing and muscle relief.
