Sports Massage
Sports Massage plays a special role in the enhancement of athletic performance and prevention of injury. It improves flexibility and mobility, promotes recovery from strenuous activity and training, relieves muscle soreness and aids the recovery process following injury. Sports massage has become a standard element in professional and amateur sports alike.
Remedial Massage
This is a holistic form of massage which treats the body as a whole and not as individual parts.
Through a combination of nurturing touch and awareness, massage creates an environment to meet the needs of each individual.
Physically, it relaxes tight muscles, improves circulation of blood and lymph in our bodies and enhances muscle tone and joint mobility.
Emotionally, massage can provide a caring, non-intrusive atmosphere that allows relaxation and reduces stress.
Paul Tilbury
I am an experienced Holistic Massage Therapist having gained my first massage qualification in 1995. I specialise in Deep Tissue, Thai and Indian Head Massage. I am also a fully qualified Clinical Aromatherapist.
I use a variety of tools within my massage practice including stretching, mobilisation, acupressure and trigger point work. With my knowledge and experience of massage I am able to structure a comprehensive treatment plan for my clients.
Being keen to enhance my existing skill set I regularly attend workshops and seminars, aiming to integrate new learning rapidly into my practice. I have recently returned from Thailand where I attended an intensive two week course to further my knowledge and skills of Thai Massage.
I am a fully insured member of the Complementary Therapists Association following their code of practice and the high professional standards they expect from their membership. I am also a member of the Institute of Indian Head Massage.
