Pregnancy – a Time Of Joy And Anticipation - But Also Backache!

Image
  Every pregnancy is different and whilst some may be a breeze others can seem a little like an endurance course! If you find that you are experiencing aches and pains, then a pregnancy massage in Manchester with our especially trained pregnancy massage therapist may be an ideal way to relax and ease those twinges. As we said, pregnancies are unique to themselves,but you may be left wondering why when the first pregnancy was so easy, the second may feel like up to nine months of back pain! Why is back pain such a bugbear during pregnancy? A general feeling of strain in the back is common in pregnant women, and there are a number of reasons why this may happen and most are due to hormonal changes as the body itself prepares for childbirth. Weight gain naturally contributes to back pain, and this brings about changes where the mother-to-be subconsciously alters her posture, adjusting the way that she stands, sits, walks, and lays, as the baby grows. Importantly, at this time th...

Have You Tried Cupping As a Therapy?

Image
  The art of cupping as a therapy for pain relief goes back to early records of its use in Egypt and China of around 5500 years ago. The treatment has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity after American swimming star Michael Phelps’ was seen with the typical purple-blotched marks on his shoulders at the Rio Olympic Games. Since then it has become the first choice of many other sports people of all disciples and of celebrities around the world. Originally animal horns were used and in Asia particularly these were replaced over time by bamboo cups. More recently bamboo was replaced with glass, metal,ceramic, or most recently therapists are using medical-grade silicone cups. The suction created within the cup causes the cupping marks, or bruises as they are sometimes called, on the area of the body which has been treated for easing back pain, neck pain, headaches and other challenges.

But you may feel that you would like to know a little more about how it works and even why some hot stones treatments vary at different Manchester massage salons.

From Couch To 5K In The New Year For Beginners

Image
It is the easiest thing in the world to make that resolution, but much tougher to keep to it. Nothing is more frequently heard than thosethat say they are going to get fit this year– and this time they really mean it! The excuses come a little later. In 2025 the beginning of the year has been extremely cold and dragging yourself out of bed on a Saturday morning to go on that Park Run is a challenge in itself! With the continued snow on the ground and the hard frost, some runs are understandably cancelled for safety reasons. One week missed out puts up even more mental barriers to getting back into your stride next week. In your head it would seem so much easier to  start your get-fit programme in the warmer weather, “may wait a month or two” Is a thought that pops into your brain. Be early at the venue to warm up But if you are still willing and able to carry on, then one brief word of warning about looking after your body on those cold starts. A sports massage at this Northe...

Dry Cupping Is On Trend Right Now

Image
If you have yet to hear of dry cupping, we are not altogether surprised, but if you have heard of it before, it has probably been in relation to its use by professional athletes where it is extremely popular. Here at this massage salon in Manchester , this treatment method is most frequently used for relieving pain, but many who follow the ancient principles behind this treatment also believe that it restores order in the body, opening up the body’s energy channels and pathways. As an alternative treatment, our qualified cupping therapist places the cups to the areas where there is muscular pain, creating suction on the affected parts of the body. By increasing blood flow this helps to ease pain in the body and increase flexibility. By placing the cups and applying suction and leaving them for 10 to 15 minutes it can ease muscle pain, help with arthritis, headaches and migraines, acne, and also soften scar tissue.  A natural, medication-free treatment Manchester Massage is the...
