Absolutely! Whether you just want a one off massage to help release acute localised pain, energy blockages, improve circulation and posture, massage is a powerful tool that promotes positive healing. Research has shown multiple benefits with massage. Consecutive weekly massage treatment programmes have shown to promote and sustain health, wellbeing and longevity.
Yes, massage is very safe. However, if you have any health conditions or concerns please speak to GEM. She may need a GP referral letter for certain conditions.
It all depends on the individual health conditions and whether you want a temporary fix or a long term solution. For general wellbeing monthly treatment is often recommended to maintain muscle strength, flexibility and good body posture. However the frequency of massage treatments generally depends on the individuals specific health needs and conditions and the type of massage received.
GEM recommends having at least four to six weekly treatments with reviews after each session to monitor progress. A personalised massage plan is essential for optimal health. This will include specific techniques for individuals and making small diet and lifestyle changes through the help of small weekly action plans.
Generally comfortable loose fitting clothing. This is especially essential for traditional Thai/Shiatsu massage to aid free movement during the massage.
