SERVICES
Headaches, migraines, back pain and stress are all symptoms of muscle tension, but they do not have to be part of your life.
Don’t put up with pain if it’s making your life less enjoyable!
Massage, and other soft tissue therapies, address the problems associated with muscle tension by promoting the circulation and restoring the metabolism in the tissues, de-activating muscle spasm, and removing adhesions in the connective tissue, thereby allowing tension to dissipate. These techniques speed recovery from injury and can prevent many of the debilitating conditions that we may suffer in later years.
The effects of muscle tension
There is one simple fact here: The human body is not designed to remain in one position for several hours a day!
If we do so we overwork some muscles and underutilize others. The resulting imbalance in the muscle group leads to altered posture and the problems of muscle tension become self perpetuating. When muscles remain in a state of prolonged contraction, blood flow through the fibers is restricted. Less oxygen and nutrients reach the muscle tissue and metabolic wastes accumulate. The effects spread to the connective tissues and nerves which surround and run through the muscle. The overall response is increased rate of muscle fatigue, reduced efficiency and pain. In this state the muscle is highly susceptible to injury through sudden movements or loads. In the absence of contact sport or an accident, very few musculoskeletal injuries are ‘sudden.’ They occur as a result of long term muscle tension. A wry neck is an excellent example of such a condition.

Testimonials
"After 6 years of persistent shoulder and neck pain, I had come to believe I would just have to "put up with it". Pain was impacting on all areas of my life and the only relief was from analgesics. My first session with Sally gave me hope that I could actually be pain free. She knew exactly what the problem was and with a combination of specific exercise and massage, I am now, mostly, free of pain and can lead the life I want, not to mention sleep through the night for the first time in years!"
Kerry Elliott Sydney
"I've been lucky enough to have Sally Jacobs as a remedial massage therapist for the last four years. Not only has she alleviated my chronic neck and shoulder pain, her warmth and natural empathy have helped me through many a"crisis" that we all seem to encounter in daily modern life. I greatly value the advice she has given me".
