Massage

Wintern House

Massage can help to ease muscles and promote relaxation and improved mental health. Furthermore, it can be applied for sports related injuries or ongoing issues. The health benefits are well documented, and we believe that everyone should carve out time for this type of self care.

Why Us?

Massage

Put simply, massage is the manipulation of tissues through kneading, rubbing or tapping. This can be a helpful practice for relaxation, therapeutic or rehabilitation purposes.

Sports massage can be used to help sports and non-sports people alike. The technique uses a variety of pressures, often deeper, more intense and more focused than in conventional massage. It is primarily used to aid with recovery, and help prevent injury.

Joint mobility may be restricted by inflammation, scar tissue and tight muscles. Sports massage helps break down adhesions and scar tissue, and can help restore good joint mobility by relieving tight muscles and drawing away inflammation.

Whether you have a sports injury, an ongoing issue or are just looking for something to help you relax, we can help you.

Saskia is an experienced bodywork practitioner, able to draw on different skills and techniques, and combine them with sensitivity to adapt to your needs, from deep tissue massage, mobilisation, to gentle intuitive touch. She has trained in Holistic, Thai, and Ayur Yogic massage as well as the subtle and profound focus of Craniosacral Therapy.
