Massage by Eleisha

Hello

Thank you for visiting Massage by Eleisha.

Eleisha's treatments are focused on women's well-being, helping to restore the everyday woman to a balanced state of health through massage therapy.

The following range of treatments are available:

• Relaxation massage - a gentle and soothing massage that is designed to help you unwind and de-stress. 
• Deep tissue massage - focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
• Manual lymphatic drainage - helps to move lymph, a fluid that carries waste products away from the tissues through the lymphatic system
• Bereavement massage - help alleviate some of the physical discomfort associated with early and prolonged bereavement helping the grieving person shift out of the stress response and into a relaxed response (see further information below)

By incorporating these techniques, my aim is to alleviate muscle tension, reduce stress levels, and improve your overall physical and mental well-being.

Massage is relaxing and stimulating. Tense muscles can cause sluggish circulation because they force the body's blood vessels to constrict. Massaging the muscles relaxes them and stimulates circulation so that blood flows freely, carrying oxygen and nutrients to where they are needed in the body. By working on the circulation, regular massage can help normalise blood pressure, and stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for nourishing the cells and carrying waste products out of the body so it can defend itself against infection.

Four stages of healing:

Relief: The first few treatment sessions help to relieve pain, reduce tension, and sedate stressed nerves.

Correction: When pain is relieved, we work on the underlying issue to prevent the problem from returning

Strengthening: Massage can strengthen the surrounding tissues enabling them to provide support when the injury has healed

Maintenance: Final stage of healing and the first step in preventative care

Bereavement Massage Therapy

Eleisha is also passionate about Bereavement Massage Therapy. A specialised treatment for women experiencing grief and bereavement.

Touch and connection are especially important to those who are grieving or in a prolonged state of bereavement. We can lose ourselves when we are in emotional pain. Receiving touch is one way we can calm the nervous system and bring ourselves back to the present moment, so we can continue the journey.
