Massage and Pregnancy Massage

A common technique used to treat a wide variety of conditions, massage therapy is an effective and well-practised method of reducing stress and relieving pain.

At Yellow Door, we are extremely fortunate to have three highly experienced massage therapists offering different holistic approaches.

Francesca offers sports massage, soft tissue therapy and remedial therapy during pregnancy and post-birth.  Sports massage can improve flexibility, aid recovery and prevent future injuries.  Using firm pressure and a focus on muscles and connective tissue deep within the body, Francesca also assesses posture and lifestyle to tailor her treatment to the patient.

Pregnancy can physically affect the body both before and after the birth, and by providing a nurturing and empathetic approach, Francesca can help post-natal women with recovery and strength gain.

With a similar focus on holistic approaches, Kath offers a mixture of remedial and Swedish massage therapies.  Swedish massage aims to energise the body and improve overall health. This type of massage involves actions like gentle stretching, percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling.

Remedial massage can be used for rehabilitation, pain and injury management. Providing a holistic approach, this type of massage can reduce or eliminate pain, and restore normal function of muscles and joints.

Polly is the newest member of our team and specialises in pregnancy massage. Her maternity treatments are intuitive, client led and tailored to the individual. They typically involve a blend of massage, acupressure point work, stretching and homecare advice.
