Conditions treated
At Brighton Body Massage we can help relieve the discomfort and pain caused by most muscular problems. Even supposedly untreatable conditions can be helped in some way by reducing tension in the soft tissues. This list is just some of the more common patholagies we treat....if you're not sure if we can help, then please call and we can advise.
Migraines:
Cluster migraines, tension headaches, pain behind the eyes or in the temples, ears, jaws, teeth, back of the head, all sorts of head pain are often caused by tension build up in the neck and shoulders. Even if your headaches are linked to hormonal imbalances it is worth getting your muscle tension reduced in these areas. Often relief can be felt after one session. Deep tissue remedial massage is a great treatment for this condition.
Whiplash:
Many people suffer for years from a whiplash injury that they never had proper treatment for. Remedial massage for whiplash injuries are very specific and require specialist training. The injury responds well to treatment if it is recent or old and involves working carefully through all the muscles involved to release the tightness caused as a result of the sudden forward and back head movement. Jeanna uses Hot Stones also for the more chronic conditions and ice for acute strains. Headaches can be greatly reduced as a result and movement re-gained.
Carpal Tunnell and arm/wrist pain:
Symptoms of carpal tunnel can be helped greatly by massage therapy that targets the causes of the pain. Sometimes tight muscles in the neck and pectoral muscles compress nerves that run down the arm and this can cause tingling and numbness that mimics carpal tunnel. In this case,remedial massage can be of great help by reducing the tightness in the neck and chest area thus relieving pressure on the median nerves and so reducing the symptoms.
If however you have been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnell, we can still help you by reducing tension in all the restricted areas so alleviating and managing your symptoms. This is the same for pregnancy related carpal tunnel.
Mouse arm:
This is a common problem for people working at computers for lengthy periods.Treatment involves detailed work to the neck , shoulder, arm and hands to relieve tension build up that can cause dull aches in the arm,shoulder pain and headaches if left untreated. Hot Stone massage and remedial work are great for this.
Jeanna has completed a specialist course in the treatment of Carpal Tunnel and associated pathologies with The Jing Institute of massage and training in Brighton.
