Massage Therapy in Sheffield
What is massage therapy?
Massage is a wonderful tool for relaxation. In our Sheffield based therapy room we offer many styles of massage to suit all needs whether easing aching muscles, supporting recovery from injury, or providing a space to nurture body-mind connection and reduce stress.
​
Often times, its easy to get caught up everyday life and miss the messages our bodies send us. For those living with pain or difficult physical or mental health conditions, sensitivity to our bodies can become hyperactive or numbed.
​
Massage can help us to get in touch with our bodies; to understand where physical symptoms may be linked to internal thoughts and feelings thereby improving not just physical health, but bringing balance to mental well-being too.
​
Our massage sessions begin with an online consultation form in which you can discuss your reasons for booking and what you'd like to get out of your appointment. Our approach to massage is holistic and client centred which means that we take into consideration your physical, emotional and spiritual needs and are guided by you to create a treatment that is individual to you. In practice this means that you can choose which areas you'd like to include in your session, as well as the pressure and techniques that will suit you. We offer different styles of massage but it may be that what you really need is a mixture of these styles which we are happy to accommodate.
At your appointment you'll be asked to lay on our comfortable massage table. Your level of undress in a session is your choice . You will always be given privacy for changing and will be covered modestly during your massage. You may choose from a selection of delicious smelling aromatherapy oils ( we have unscented oils available too). We offer hot and cold water and a selection of yogi teas for you to enjoy before and after your massage.
​
With relaxation massage, our goal is to provide you with time out from the world. A combination of techniques are used to stimulate the para-sympathetic nervous system, the benefits of which include reduced heartrate and blood pressure, improved digestion, improved sleep and release of feel good hormones all of which can help to reset the nervous system and improve mental health.
​
Deep tissue massage seeks to resolve musculoskeletal issues, reduce pain and work into the deeper tissues and structures. A deep tissue massage may include myofacial release, trigger point therapy, breathwork and stretching, passive joint mobilisation and friction techniques to release tension, improve mobility and reduce pain and aid recovery from injury.
​
We also offer hot stones massage as a stand alone treatment or as an addition to relaxation or deep tissue massage. In a hot stones session, smooth volcanic rocks are heated and used as an extension of the therapists hands to massage heat into the muscles. The sensation is soothing and calming whilst the warmth can help to release tension more quickly and allow deeper work with less discomfort.
​
We also offer pregnancy massage and ayurvedic massages. Please click here to read more on our pregnancy massage page and click here for our ayurvedic massage page.
