Massage is one of the most ancient healing arts in the world. You don’t have to have a specific physical problem to have a massage; it is not only beneficial for tired or tense muscles, but also for one’s general state of mind. A massage can be tailored to a person’s specific needs, taking into account their general health and well being, as well as any specific injuries or problems.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage (DTM) focuses on the realignment of the underlying layers of muscles and deep connective tissues. The massage technique is slower but with a firm pressure, concentrating on specific areas of tension or pain, and includes using soft fists, forearms and elbows.
This can help to relieve specific areas of muscular tension and discomfort. Amongst other holistic health benefits, it particularly improves mobility, increases range of motion and loosens tight muscle tissue. By improving blood circulation and increasing drainage to these areas, it can allow the release of toxins and bring nutrients to the affected tissues.

Pregnancy Massage
Massage Therapy is a beautiful complementary therapy during the course of a pregnancy, which is mostly a very special time in a woman’s life.
During pregnancy the female body goes through a lot of physical and hormonal changes, which can result in discomfort through pressure on the joints and ligaments whilst the belly grows and makes space for the baby.
Common problems that may arise are cramps, restless legs, water retention, low back pain, hip and pelvis discomfort and carpal tunnel symptoms.
Pregnancy massage is great for addressing and alleviating pains/aches as well as offering a moment to completely switch off, recharge and get pampered. All the happy hormones that massage brings up, will affect your baby positively too!

Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports and remedial massage is a deeper massage which aims to help athletes prepare and recover better from hard exercise or competition. It also incorporates more advanced techniques to help improve the recovery of common sports related injuries.
Pre-event: In the final build-up to a competition this requires good thorough massage which will identify and treat any areas of adverse tension.
Post- event: The main focus is recovery and massage should be given as soon as possible using gentle flowing techniques.
Many non-sports people also enjoy this deeper massage because it can help relieve minor aches and pains.

“I run regularly and strained my hamstring recently. Zena knows what she is doing and gave a very robust massage to my back, shoulders and legs. My shoulders were a bit achy at first as the massage was so deep, but it has worked to release long standing knots and I can feel much of the tightness has gone. My legs feel looser too. I will be back!”
