Massage should be viewed as a necessity, not a luxury. This is not to say it cannot be an enjoyable and pleasant experience, but it is also something we all need to give our bodies in exchange for what we put them through every day. Discounted rates are available for students, unemployed, or those earning less than a full-time minimum wage salary. If these apply to you, please let me know when enquiring about an appointment.

THE THERAPIES Before every treatment I will go through a client consultation process to keep a record of your treatments and progress. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes and be completed at the time of treatment before the massage is started and will not be included in the time you have paid for.

Sports Massage – Sports therapy treats injuries as well as being a preventative and performance enhancing treatment dealing with the health of muscle and connective tissue, range of movement and quality of posture. If you don’t play sports, don’t think it is not for you! Our everyday working lives and lifestyles can create similar problems that can be improved and prevented by sports massage techniques.A sports therapy treatment will involve a more in depth consultation possibly with posture analysis and tests relevant to the area to be treated.Range of movement may be monitored where appropriate to track your progress. When looking at and treating the injury or symptoms, this may lead to treating other areas of the body and seem unexpected to you. I will explain the reasons for all treatment so that you can gain a better understanding of the workings of your body.As well as tissue manipulation, elements of sports therapy include PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching to help improve flexibility, strength building exercises and advice on hydration and nutrition where appropriate. These will all be included in the time that you are paying for as part of your treatment.

Thai Yoga – With Shang Therapeutic Massage you can experience the traditional healing art of Thai Yoga Massage, or Nuad Boran. Each massage lasts approximately 2 hours, though if you need to reduce this due to time constraints it can be arranged through consultation which areas to focus on in the time available.Thai Yoga Massage is a powerful massage therapy combining acupressure, gentle stretching and applied yoga. However, it does not require the practitioner or receiver to be flexible, athletic or strong. Each treatment is designed to suit client needs and can be catered towards treating ailments such as headache, back pain, knee pain, muscular tension and others.Thai Yoga Massage uses an energy line system—the Ten Sen—through which the body’s natural life force flows. Blockages in this life force are believed to cause aches, pains and disease.The therapist uses hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to important points on the energy lines, together with gentle stretching and applied Hatha Yoga. This releases blocked energy and frees the body’s healing potential, restoring balance and harmony.Originating in India and strongly linked to Buddhism, it is always practised in a meditative mood. It is said to be “the physical application of loving kindness”.

Pregnancy Massage – You can choose the areas you want massaged and how long you would like the massage to last, and you don’t have to include your bump in the massage if you don’t want to. You can book in at any stage in your pregnancy.
