Advanced Clinical Massage
In my practical but relaxed space at Massage therapy Winchester I combine and apply several techniques such as advanced clinical massage;
soft tissue techniques including trigger points, sports massage, myofascial release, and stretching to reduce pain and injury.
I aim to see you leave your first session feeling lighter, less tense or stressed and in less pain. With an issue that has taken months and even years to build up, it can take several sessions to undo the damage.
My clinic is a safe place to come and experience massage and bodywork at an advanced level and you don't have to be in pain to enjoy my work!
Many of my clients who come to be treated at Massage therapy Winchester have been suffering from -
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Frozen shoulder
- Anxiety and depression
- Migraines and headaches
- Sleep issues
- Digestive issues
- Menopausal issues

Aromatherapy at Massage Therapy Winchester
Aromatherapy massage is a gentle and very relaxing treatment.
I use Neal's Yard essential oils to treat both your mind and body.
Working mainly on the nervous system, it both relaxes and stimulates.
Modern lifestyles, stress, pollution, hectic schedules, and busy but sedentary
lifestyles are-all factors that can have adverse effects on our bodies and minds.

Reflexology - Foot massage
Reflexology is not simply a ‘foot rub’.
It is a safe, non-intrusive and very effective natural healing art.
Based on the principal that there are reflexes in the feet that relate
to all of the organs and systems of the body.
These reflexes are like 'pressure' points, and stimulating them,
with various techniques, helps to increase the flow of energy to
corresponding areas of the body.
Occasionally hard little 'beads of crystals' can be felt in the feet,
these are believed to be deposits of toxins that have settled in the feet.
By breaking up the deposits, it helps to detox and cleanse the body..
Conditions that may benefit from Reflexology include :
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Migraines
- Depression
- Sleep issues
- Hormonal issues
- Infertility
- Digestive issues
- Respiratory problems

the tension in your muscles as well as the blockages in your meridians.

following benefits:

Does it hurt? Everyone feels pain at different levels and many pain sensations.
For most clients, the insertion of the needles is an anti-climax. The needles are
much smaller than those used for injections, but occasionally it can hurt.
Some points are very sensitive, but normally this feeling goes away very quickly.

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice.
After the 1st Trimester massage helps to:

Inversion Therapy at Massage Therapy Winchester
I use Inversion therapy at the end of a clinical massage session. Once your muscles have been
released and relaxed the inversion is more effective.
The idea of hanging upside- down as a remedy for back ache has been around since Roman times.
Like the cushions on a sofa, the discs separating our vertebrae become
flattened and misshapen over time, from the relentless downward
pressure of gravity.
Whilst our bodies strive to repair the damage overnight, lying in bed
only alleviates 75% of the strain on our backs,-as attested by the fact
that we shrink with age.
Also did you know that you can lose up to 2cm in height daily from
the effects of gravity, regaining some when asleep.
Nerves which have been pinched by flattened or distorted discs are
once again given room to "breathe".
- Relieves back pain-relaxes muscles, re-hydrates discs,
- realigns and reduces pressure.
- Eases stress- releases tension in shoulders, neck and back
- Improves joint health- decompresses, strengthens and
- enhances shock absorption
- Increases flexibility- improving functional fitness.
