Mental Health and Massage
Following on from my BTEC degree research study on Advanced Clinical Massage and Mental Health in those with Desk-Based and Sedentary Lifestyles, I have become increasingly interested in specialising in massage treatments for mental health and well-being. This follows on from my work with the NHS and Community Living Well mental health service for Kensington & Chelsea, Queen’s Park and Paddington during the Covid pandemic and lockdowns, and the current online clinical and well-being sessions for the charity the Iranian Association that I offer as part of the Community Massage London CIC online initiatives.

Ease & Relieve Massage – Chronic Pain Treatment
There are many times in treatment where a need for a more overall stress reduction is called for due to long-term chronic pain conditions. This is particularly in the case for conditions such as chronic fatigue & M.E; fibromyalgia; irritable bowel syndrome; autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis and musculoskeletal conditions where central sensitisation & hyper-sensitisation is a strong component of the pain condition and may be .
These treatments are similar to Rest & De-Stress but involve a bespoke tailoring of the treatment to your specific issue or condition.
