When you suffer an injury your first thoughts, if no broken bones, may well lead to ice, rest, compress and elevate the affected area. People have for ages seen massage therapy as an effective means to assist the recovery of some kind of injury.
I often get asked the question ‘What is an integrated Therapist?’
On a personal note, I can honestly vouch for massage alleviating the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Both of which are very common mental health issues in todays’ rat race society!
Being a woman myself and seeing many of my friends experiencing the changes of menopause, we at Purple Freesia understand that this is a time for regeneration and transformation.
Whenever the body is out of ‘balance’ it can be due to an imbalance in the ‘mind, body, soul’ connection or the fact that the eight body systems are out of kilter. At times our body systems can be out of whack due to stress and trauma. As a result they can cause us to feel ‘anxious’ and not sure of ‘self’.
I am a firm believer in the ‘power of human touch’ to help heal and to ‘connect’ to one another. Everyone needs ‘touch’ and to feel affirmed, especially the seniors in all our lives. As the years pass, the body ages and is more in need of care and kind. We forget that our bodies are the vessels carrying our souls and that they need to be looked after.
Time is precious in life and even more so when it relates to ones health. After all, my dear mother always instilled in me that “Good health is true Wealth” and I stand by this.
In my world as an Integrated Therapist, I use Sports and Remedial massage techniques daily to aid in the relief of several common injuries and conditions. There are many injuries that Sports Massage can help with. Such as sprains, strains and muscle tears, to name a few.
I often get asked which type of massage is right for me? It is never easy deciding on what type of massage may be best for your mind, body and soul, at any given time in your life. So I have compiled a list of all my massages as a guide to help you decide on your next treatment, with me, at Purple Freesia Integrated Therapies:
Sports massage is so good for relieving muscle tension and to address many muscular injuries and or imbalances. It can be a great aid. It is used in a complementary role to other therapies such as physiotherapy and osteopathy. Sports massage can greatly increase recovery.
