Tracey Taylor - MTI SCMT dip

Therapeutic Massage

 

Massage is an ancient therapeutic approach dating back over thousands of years.
It is often used to aid relaxation, relieve stress and reduce tension in aching muscles. As well as the immediate benefit, in the long term this can limit the harmful effects of stress on the body and may reduce the risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, depression and anxiety. Equally, massage can be helpful as an energising and invigorating technique. Regular massage can help improve muscle tone, increase joint flexibility and ease pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and chronic strains and sprains. For some people, having a massage is simply a way of taking some time out for themselves.

Helpful for:

• Stress
• Backache
• Depression
• Headache
• Neck and shoulder aches
• Arthritis
• Joint flexibility
• High Blood Pressure
• Relaxation

Massage Therapist - Tracey Taylor MTI SCMT Dip
I first became interested in massage whilst working as a receptionist at The Sheffield
Natural Health Centre. I enjoyed working with the variety of complementary health
practitioners, and was impressed by the holistic approach that can sometimes be lacking in mainstream medicine. My decision to train in massage was inspired by my experience of receiving massage, which I found left me completely relaxed and had lasting benefits.

Training
I studied at The Sheffield Centre for Massage Training and gained MTI (massage training institute) qualification and registration in 2006.
Since qualifying I have worked in private practice and have been involved in a number ofcommunity projects.

All information is confidential and every effort is taken to make you feel relaxed and in control of your treatment. The massage may be whole body, or focussed on a specific area. The session will take place in a warm and welcoming environment, where you will have the privacy to undress/redress.

Tsuboki
A deeply relaxing yet energising Japanese Face Massage treatment. A deeply relaxing yet energising treatment for anyone who wants to feel good on the inside and the outside. Based in part on the principles of acupressure, it is a modern take on meridian theory, which goes back thousands of years in Japan and China.
Tsubo = acupressure point - this is a place along a meridian where the energy can be most influenced, affecting the body on many levels.
Ki = the energy that flows through the meridians.
TSUBOKI® = massage using the tsubos to influence the flow of Ki in the body!

Treatments
Stage one massage to the neck and shoulders to increase circulation to the face and
reduce tension in these areas.
Stage two detailed face massage using camellia oil as traditionally used in Japan, this is fragrance free and contains restructuring and moisturising properties.
Stage three working tsubos and 8 meridians.
Stage four lymphatic drainage to eliminate toxins.

Benefits:

• skin tone and lymph flow are improved
• muscle tone and general appearance can be affected
• the balance of health in the whole body is stimulated
• the removal of metabolic waste products is encouraged
• many of the TSUBOS (acupressure points) have a specific beneficial effect on the appearance of the face

This treatment is suitable for both men and women. No need to undress, but it is advisable to wear something comfortable, a vest top (for women). Not suitable for women who are pregnant or for people who have had recent botox or
