Thanks for reviewing me Jonathan. Looking forward to our next session

Thanks for your review Trevor. And yes it's important to have a variety of techniques to address various muscular and structural issues and inbalances. All the best until next time

Douglas is a very intuitive therapist and takes time to identify any issues and thinks about the best treatment approach. 

Thanks for your kind review Patrick, I'm happy to hear it. See you soon

Excellent.  Very gentle and just what I needed.  More please!

Really happy to hear you enjoyed the massage space and relaxation Mo. All the best until next time :-)

Douglas's technique is nothing short of extraordinary. His skillful hands seemed to intuitively find and release tension points, providing a level of relaxation and relief that exceeded my expectations. His expertise in various massage techniques was evident throughout the session, demonstrating a deep understanding of the human body and its interconnected systems.

Beyond his technical proficiency, what sets Douglas apart is his genuine care for his clients. He creates a calming atmosphere and maintains a respectful and attentive demeanor.

Thanks for your review Stuart, hope the 2hrs did the trick for you today and onwards. All the best until next time

The most widely recognized and commonly used category of massage is Swedish massage. The Swedish massage techniques vary from light to vigorous. Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber or with the fibers) and vibration/shaking.

Clinical studies have found that Swedish massage can reduce chronic pain, fatigue, joint stiffness and improve function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Swedish Massage

After warming the muscle group, the therapist can work on deeper muscles that may be part of an underlying pain (ie piriformis for lower back pain and sciatica).
Good communication throughout the treatment is the norm.  The client is in control of the level of pressure and remains within a tolerable threshold so that healing can occur after momentary discomfort. 

Deep Tissue Massage

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures of approximately 2,000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures.

A Myofascial Release Treatment session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery. This enables the therapist to accurately detect fascial restrictions and apply the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to facilitate release of the fascia.
