24.01.2022 Hi everyone! After a wonderful six months at Blackwood Fitness, I am relocating back to the home studio, still in Blackwood, as I'll be studying this year and massaging part-time. Have a look below at the benefits of massage, and book yourself in for a treatment, or grab a voucher for someone in need of some time out The Benefits of Massage... In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself. So what exactly are the benefits to receiving regular massage and/or bodywork treatments? - Increases circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. - Stimulates the flow of lymph, the body's natural defense system, against toxic invaders. - Increased circulation of blood and lymph systems improves the condition of the body's largest organ - the skin. - Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles - Reduces spasms and cramping - Increases joint flexibility. - Reduces recovery time, helps prepare for strenuous workouts and eliminates subsequent pains of the athlete at any level. - Releases endorphins - the body's natural painkiller - and is being used in chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain. - Reduces post-surgery adhesions and oedema and can be used to reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred. - Improves range-of-motion and decreases discomfort for patients with low back pain. - Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication. - Provides exercise and stretching for atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.

04.01.2022 Thankyou for all of the 'likes' and 'shares', almost at 100! Don't forget to set aside that time for yourself, whether it's with me in Blackwood or a therapist closer to your area. Stress comes in all shapes and sizes and can manifest in many negative ways, it's important to give your brain a break aswell as your body. Take a deep breath, and re-group :)

04.01.2022 Welcome to the Rachel Orken - Massage Therapist business page. If you or anyone you know are in need of treatment for joint/muscle injury, migraine relief, or just general time-out and relaxation, book your treatment now!

04.01.2022 About a year ago my Mum slipped in the bathroom and hit her head so hard she cracked the ceramic soap holder in half, and as a result was getting debilitating headaches and pain. After seeing her therapist (I lived too far away at the time) the headaches eased, but when Mum told me recently that they had returned (too much picking up of grandkids we think), I told her to come straight down for a treatment, as the thought of my beautiful Mum in such intense pain that she could...n't sleep, was very upsetting :( Yesterday we did a craniosacral treatment with some very gentle myofascial release, and just now Mum sent me a text to say she was enjoyed a pain-free sleep last night :) Yay! So happy I could help my mama xo Book your treatment now to relieve headache or joint pain, or just for relaxation :)
