Holistic Aftercare
After any Holistic Treatment it’s important to drink plenty water throughout the day and night as this encourages your body to disperse of any toxins that may have been released. Also, try and refrain from doing any heavy lifting or too much exercise as your muscles will need to heal and reform after tension has been broken down.
If you frequently suffer from muscular tension, it may be for one of several reasons:
Old Tension
Often as a result of injury or repeated poor posture knots can manifest deep within the muscle and can cause continuous or frequent bouts of pain. This particular breed takes a little extra work to relieve, but it can be done! After seeing you once, the likelihood is we would have been able to break up what we refer to as 'suface tension' but there may be a deeper problem for which we would recommend some Neuromuscular Technique during Holistic Massage. Postural Assessment and Advice can also play a key part in keeping muscular tension at bay, see Add-on Holistic Treatments for more information.
Day-to-day Stress
Stress can effect our health in many different ways, pain from hunching our shoulders, increased headaches from frowning or lack of sleep, as well as fatigue and often with digestive discomfort or skin complaints. Aromatherapy is really effective at easing stress and its symptons, and can be used at home, we can advise on the best Essential Oils to purchase. Sometimes just little changes in your life can make a big difference to how you deal with stress, Nutritional Advice and Life Guidance Sessions are available on request, see Add-on Holistic Treatments for more information.
Illness/Allergies
Occaisionally during treatment it may come to my attention that you could be suffering from a partiular illness or allergic reaction, or you may be aware of an ailment already. If we am qualified to do so we may advise you on the most appropriate course of action or suggest further treatments, or suggest you see a doctor prior to your Holistic Treatment.
