Specialist Disability Therapy
Having worked with disabled people for many years I became increasingly aware of how much my advanced massage and bodywork skills could benefit many aspects of many different disabilities. I often find that disabled individuals are not getting access to the ‘hands on’ soft tissue work which would most benefit their condition/s. Stretching is of course very important in disabilities which cause muscles to shorten and/or spasm but there is so much more which can, and should, be done. By incorporating myofascial release, deep tissue massage, structural integration and trigger point therapy much better results can be seen when treating shortened muscles/tendons/fascia, muscle spasms, constipation, myofascial pain, misshapen bodies and restricted range of joint movement. Visceral manipulation and myofascial release can also be used to address scarring, post-operative, digestive and organ problems. Relaxing holistic therapies such as holistic massage and reflexology are also a wonderful treat for disabled individuals and offer many health benefits, particularly if the client is prone to stress or anxiety.
Please note: My Alton & Fleet Practices are unfortunately on the 1st floor (without a lift). However, I do make home visits with prior arrangement; usually on Tuesday/Wednesday mornings. Please call 07769 666448 to arrange a home visit. A £10 ‘call out charge’ will be added to listed prices to cover travel costs and the extra time needed to make a house call.
