Restore Scar Therapy
Treating Scar Tissue with non-invasive specialist massage
Scars can cause several problems and getting treatment may also cause anguish, be assured you won't be judged, no matter where your scar is you will be treated with sensitivity and dignity.
Scars do not only cause physical differences, but can cause Fibrosis (hardening in the area) and Adhesions (tissues stick together and cause other problems) and may affect you emotionally and mentally.
The visible aspect is what you and others see, but physically, they may:
-
Affect the range of movement.
-
Cause ongoing pain and not just at the site.
-
Cause changes in skin sensitivity.
-
Cause underlying problems
Services Provided
At Therapy2Massage, I take a holistic, professional and personal approach to my practices. The aim is to provide focused treatments that are tailored to each individual patient.
Whilst the prices are based on times, you will not be charged more if we spend a little longer.
Whether you visit me for a one-off treatment or a longer course of action, I want you to be able to play an active role in your recovery.
As part of your treatment, I may suggest: Ultrasound, Infrared, TEN’s, EMS, Percussive Therapy, Photobiomodulation (Low-Level Laser) or Inversion Table Therapy, etc.
These devices work in different ways to either assist in rehabilitation, recovery or pain relief.
These will all be discussed with you and as part of the treatment, I do not charge extra for using these within the session.
Please note that bookings need to be cancelled 24 hours in advance, to avoid charges.
Sports or General Injuries
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Sprains, Strains, Swelling, Post-op
I aim to provide you with knowledge and treatment for the injury, not only to assist at the point you need help but also to help prevent re-occurrence. The first appointment takes the a whole session but fro some folowups only half a session is needed so reducing the time and cost.
Modalities include, Taping, Strapping, Infrared, Ultrasound, etc.
Injuries are treated as required, massage around the associated areas may be used but this is not a full massage, for that you would need to book a full massage.
Chronic Pain
Pain in all forms (Arthritis, MS, Fybromyalgia, etc) can be debilitating, wearing you down and making life miserable.
Due to our first-hand experience of some of these, we understand that everyone feels and some people get relief from MLD Therapy , some from deeper massage and manipulation, coupled with exercises.
Massage
Swedish (A general body massage not too deep and more relaxing than sports for easing out general aches and pains)
Ayurvedic (An overall term for Head, Foot and various body massages, maybe light firm, gentle or invigorating, it is your choice)
Sports (A firm massage to give your body a workout, correcting the causes of over or incorrect workouts but also for pre-workouts. Also good for general aches and pains due to physical activity or workload)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy Lymphoedema Management, Pre & Post Op, Cosmetic or Other,
Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is highly skilled form of drainage. Why use a certified therapist?
I use two versions, one taught and used by the NHS & Macmillan Cancer which is Casley-Smith and a newer method by LTA called Fill & Flush (FG-MLD®).
MLD helps with various conditions that include fatigue and pain. Research points to the MLD as assisting in the management of various disease such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinsons: A research paper can be found here:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33751912/
Chronic and post-surgery treatment for oedema (swelling)/lymphoedema. If swelling is present and not reducing, there is a chance it may become lymphoedema and must be dealt with to avoid further complications.
On the cosmetic side ,I have worked with a number of clients who have had Abdominoplasty, Fleur de Lis, Thigh lifts, Breast augmentation.
Please note if you are looking to have any of these procedures, ensure you book your MLD sessions in advance, you will need in the region of 6 -10 sessions depending on the type of surgery and the outcome.
Some types of surgery may affect the lymph nodes, and this may need to be managed, in the case of lymphoedema, we want to get you to a point where you can self-manage and only occasionally need some extra help.
Please note: if you are seeking MLD for a medical condition you should refer to MLDUK, many people advertise MLD, but it is not the same and may be detrimental to you because of your condition.
I am a member of MLDUK, a professional body for MLD practitioners.
