What does neuro mean?

‘Neuro’ relates to the nervous system including your brain, spinal cord and the vast network of nerves (bundles of fibres) constantly messaging your muscles, tendons, organs, and skin, and then bringing messages back to the brain regarding your sensory experiences (feeling, hearing, smelling etc).

When should we book our Neuro- Relax Massage?

When we experience stress over an extended time, the excellent function of our nervous system becomes inhibited resulting in restless sleep or insomnia, anxiety, uncontrollable emotional distress, unexplained long-term pain, an inability to think clearly, unexplained fears, and possible loss of motivation or depression. These symptoms noticeably impact work, social life and definitely close relationships. It is sensible to maintain the nervous system once per month so these difficult symptoms are prevented from developing.

What can I expect in a Neuro-Relax Massage?

Deep relaxation, and often a complete drifting away from reality, while lying on your back, on a warmed and padded massage table. This process encourages physical repair of damaged nerves, strengthens nerve connections and helps the brain to release its waste products. Neuro-Relax Massage is provided in this exact environment with soft nurturing sounds and aromas (you choose) – known to be calming and regenerating. If necessary, the process may include guided breathing, or relaxation techniques for those who experience over-thinking.

How is Neuro-Relax Massage different to regular massage?

Both can be very soothing and relaxing. Neuro-Relax Massage takes the process to the next level by releasing compression in the cranium (skull); releasing the neck muscles that hold the head erect (when upright); releasing tightened muscles through which the Vagal nerves pass; completing lymphatic drainage of areas that indicate slow flow, and calming the Vagal nerves within the ears, face and abdomen. The Vagal nerves impact everything over which we have no direct control including the heart rate, digestion, excretion and the body’s immune system. Other areas of the body may also be palpated according to how you are feeling on the day. Your massage is personally tailored to your exact needs so you can leave feeling nurtured, calm and light in spirit.

Is it safe if I have experienced serious traumas or have a diagnosed condition?

Releases may include body twitches (jumps), waves of heat, sighs, yawns or just gradually sinking into a deep, sleep like trance. Emotions may arise later on, however, you will feel completely able to allow them to pass knowing this is a part of the healing. Should any deep distress arise during the process you know you have an experienced Psychotherapist specialising in Neurological Disorders at your service.
