Whether you want to relieve a specific pain, de-stress, improve athletic performance or ease muscle tension, massage therapy can be an effective longer-term solution.​
When you’re suffering aches and pains from soft tissues that have stuck together or become tight or knotted, deep tissue massage can be a great way of releasing them or breaking them down.
Just one thirty minute massage will reduce your sore and tender spots and leave you feeling revitalised.
This type of massage can be pretty intense compared to others you might be used to. Our massage practitioners will apply much more pressure to get the required effect – especially with techniques like ‘trigger point release’. The initial intensity will gradually fade as your muscles become more relaxed.
Deep tissue massage is highly effective in reducing high blood pressure, scar tissue build up, pain symptoms, and the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
It can also increase joint mobility, help with arthritic pain and symptoms, and support muscular rehab.
Most people get headaches for three main reasons – too much caffeine, not enough water, or tension through the shoulders and neck.
So drink less coffee and more water, obviously … but what about the head tension?
Poor posture sitting or standing at work or being in the car for long periods leads to muscular tension. Equally, when we get stressed we tend to clench our jaw and breathe differently. This puts a lot of pressure on our neck muscles. That tension from the neck has a direct effect on head tension and headaches.
That’s where shoulder and neck massage comes in. After just one session you’ll realise how tight your neck muscles actually are and how much better they feel afterwards. After a few short sessions you’ll really feel the difference. After that, maintenance sessions every now and again will keep the headaches away.
Keeping up with regular deep tissue massages is a great way to recover after a particularly labour- intensive day at work, or if you’ve had a hard training session at the gym.
Regular deep tissue massage will improve the quality of blood flow to your muscles as well as muscle quality itself. This means that when you train you’ll be less likely to get injured, less likely to get DOMS, and you’ll be able to work harder than ever before.
And like many of our competitive clients, regular sessions will help you stay at the top of your game and perform at your very best.
If you have suffered an injury from a sport, then seeing a sports therapist for massage can be extremely beneficial and provide you with long term gains in your performance.
We use a range of sports therapy massage techniques to establish a bespoke treatment plan for you.
A sports massage will aim to reduce muscular tension and increase circulation, plus it removes waste from the muscles.
We believe in working with the whole person – not just the painful area. So we’ll spend time really understanding not only your current symptoms but your daily activities, interests, experiences and goals.
We’ll advise you on what needs to change in the way you, move and hold yourself so that your problem doesn’t re-occur. We’ll help you build new habits to support your continued progress to full mobility and movement.
 This ongoing phase is usually especially important for conditions we refer to as chronic (over 6 months), sub-acute (over 3 months) or acute (last few weeks) with significant re-occurring previous episodes.
Once you have met one of our massage therapists for your complimentary consultation, we will be able to provide you with a plan based on your requirements.
Massage therapy at Christchurch, Ringwood and Verwood Body Consultancy focuses on relaxation and relieving muscle tension. The duration of results varies, but many people experience immediate benefits, such as reduced stress and improved flexibility. Regular sessions can contribute to long-term well-being, but individual effectiveness varies. It’s a great way to unwind, and consistent appointments may enhance the overall impact.
Massage therapy has ancient origins, dating back thousands of years. It can be traced to various cultures, including ancient China, India, Egypt, and Greece. The practice evolved independently in different regions, with diverse techniques and purposes. Massages were initially used for healing, relaxation, and promoting overall wellness. Over time, different civilisations contributed to the development of massage therapy, creating a rich tapestry of methods and approaches that continue to be refined and adapted today.
Yes, massage therapy is often considered a complementary therapy. It is frequently used alongside conventional medical treatments to enhance overall well-being, reduce stress, alleviate muscle tension, and promote relaxation. While it may not replace medical interventions, it can complement and support various healthcare approaches. Many people find value in combining massage therapy with other forms of treatment to address both physical and mental health aspects.
Massage therapy is generally considered effective for promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and providing a sense of well-being. Its mechanisms include increased blood flow, improved lymphatic drainage, and the release of endorphins—natural painkillers and mood elevators.
While many people find benefit from massage, its effectiveness can vary depending on individual health conditions and preferences. Scientific studies support its efficacy for certain purposes, such as managing stress and easing certain types of pain. However, like many holistic approaches, individual responses can differ, and more research is ongoing to explore its broader health impacts.
