It is thought that massage relieves pain by interfering with the body’s ability to send signals to the brain that are then interpreted as pain. Pain signals pass along the spinal cord up into the brain, where these impulses are perceived as pain. However by performing a massage and rubbing the muscles, other signals are sent along the same nerves, competing with the pain signals so that less pain impulses reach the brain.

As well as stopping the pain signals reaching the brain, massaging also causes the body to release endorphins, or ‘happy chemicals’, which are similar to morphine and act as natural painkillers.

Massage helps relieve pain that originates from muscles (be it in the back, neck, shoulders, head), by improving circulation and bringing more oxygen to the muscles and allowing them to relax, receive nourishment. Slow, circular movements are most beneficial for relieving muscle pain. It  has been shown to relieve the pain associated with arthritis, labor pains in pregnant women and back pain. Chronic pain has many causes and is different for everyone. Sometimes injuries cause the muscles around the injured area to contract as a way of protecting that area, however if not dealt with and allowed to continue, this constant muscle tension can press on nerves and cause pain, constant tingling or sometimes numbness.  Various studies have shown that massage can help dilates the blood vessels, reduces lactic acid levels and increases the lymphatic circulation and blood circulation so removing toxic waste from the body that can irritate nerve endings and promoting healing of the tissues.

The great news is you no longer have to take yourself off to have a massage because you can enjoy one from the comfort of your own home.

Here’s what one of our clients told us

“Malakh, thank you for sending Eve round to my house. I really enjoyed my therapeutic massage and I slept really well. The biggest surprise was waking up in the morning and finding all my usual muscle and joint aches had gone. Completely disappeared. I would love to have a massage every couple of weeks but for now I will at least make sure I have one a month because it really helps”

We often work with care homes who will invite us in to provide massage for staff as a working incentive. yes, you can just give each staff member a message if you want to but we find that a free massage is a great key performance indicator incentive for them.  Make it even more of a challenge for them by asking residents to vote on who they think should win the free massage for that month.

If you really want to make the whole thing even more interesting why not give staff an opportunity to vote on the best resident and give one of them a free massage!

This helps your care home in several ways

1. Your staff will be more inclined to treat your residents well. They should anyway, but knowing their performance will be “voted on” helps!

2. It will highlight those members of staff who are really doing well within your care home and if you have members of staff who consistently receive low or no votes you can look at why that might be happening.

3. You involve your residents in the process making them feel part of the whole experience

4. You promote well being by giving a member of staff a massage

5. You increase staff retention because you are seen by staff as looking after them

We provide qualified massage therapists who have experience of working with both residents and staff in care homes in North and West London, . If you would like to explore the idea of providing a massage service for either staff and/or residents in your care home please call Malakh Zebulun on 020 8450 3484

Most people find it very difficult to simply relax and unwind, especially in today’s fast-paced society and many people are not able to deal with stress effectively and take time out of their busy schedules. Stress has become a part of everyday modern life, whether it is sitting in traffic jams rushing to work, trying to meet constant deadlines or bill a certain number of hours each week, financial pressures and constant noise and distractions. A regular, proper massage can help you feel less stressed.

Stress leads to many medical issues such as heart problems and strokes and high blood pressure, as well as leading to a high incident of drug and alcohol abuse as a means of coping with stress. Doctors have seen a large increase in patients requesting help for stress and many doctors now refer people to massage therapists and some health care plans now cover massage therapy.

Massage is an ancient technique of healing. It is non-evasive and there are hundreds of different techniques. Massage techniques have been found described in Chinese texts that are over 4000 years old. Massage and acupressure techniques work in line with the body’s nervous system, circulation system and lymphatic system to aid pain relief, complement medical therapies and reduce stress.

Stress can lead to sore and tense muscles and headaches, as well as a general feeling of anxiety and depression. A Massage can help relax your muscles, ease aches and pains, and can stimulate the immune system, improve circulation, eliminate toxins from the body and lower blood pressure. A massage also causes the brain to release endorphins, which promote the feeling of well being and confidence. Through kneading movements and manipulating the muscles, the massage therapist improves blood circulation and so toxins that have built up due to stress are removed from the body and fresh nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the muscles, helping the body rejuvenate.

A massage will enable you to switch off and clear your mind. When you are under stress you are not able to think properly or concentrate. A massage in a quiet environment, maybe with relaxing candles around, soft lighting, quiet music and essential oils burning, will relax both your body and mind.

The best thing about getting a home massage for stress relief is the fact that you get to stay in the comfort of your own home.

Our life has become so busy as we rush around getting things done and has slowed down to become so lazy and sedentary as we sit in front of the television or just don;t take park in any kind of physical activity that our body suffers as  a result.

We spend our day sitting in awkward positions, often sloucing and our body has adjusted to this new way of sitting that we hardly notice but the results of this is that our blood vessels and our neves get shifted from their normal positions and knotted blood vessels means poor blood circulation, which means poor health and tension in the body which causes other complications.

When you book yourself a home massage a qualified professional massage therapist will help to relieve this tension and improve your blood circulation as the blood vessels and nerves regain their normal position. Your blood begins to flow normally and your nerves function normally.

Your skin also enjoys a benefit from the massage which raises blood to the skin surface which helps to improve muscle tone, leaving you with a glowing look to your skin.  The massage oils also help – especially if they are pure aromatherapy professional oils.

Shiatsu may be known now with different names and methods, it still is used with the basic principle that it was originally known and formulated with, although at times can be radically different, depending on the perception of the shiatsu experts around the world.

Our qualified Shiatsu therapists will come to your home and provide you with a relaxing massage.

Shiatsu literally means, finger pressure, from the Japanese shi = finger, and atsu = pressure. For over a couple of thousand years, it has been a massage technique that ancient and modern people alike use as a healing and massaging method Chinese acupressure.

In the principle of shiatsu, the human body is comprised of passage channels, or which called as meridians. Each meridian corresponds with a specific major body organ. It is through these meridians where the energy, or qi or chi, is flowing. A balanced and unhindered flow of this energy translates to only good health.

As any irregularity happening in the unhindered energy flow, an illness is believed to be suffered by the body because either there is a depleted chi or overflowed chi in certain body points. If this is true to your body, in which you are suffering with an illness, this is where shiatsu massage therapy comes into action.

The goal of the shiatsu massage therapy is to remove anything that blocks or hinders the chi from freely flowing in any of the 14 meridians of your body. It is also applied to restore the balanced nature of the chi or energy. All these goals are achieved by applying the acupressure method, which is a press of the fingers, elbows, knees, toes, and feet, on specific affected acupoints, or your pressure points found throughout the body meridians. In addition to pressing, the practitioner applies manipulation on the adjacent areas of the acupoints with the goal of stimulating your body to enhance wellness and heal negative conditions.

Shiatsu most often provides intense effect, finding clients receiving the treatment displaying emotions like crying or laughing, wanting to scream, or just to keep still. This is not to be afraid of since it is not a bad side effect but rather a good, common and normal reaction giving the sign that the chi or energy is being restored and balanced within the human body as where it is supposed to be.

Since the world of conventional western medicinal treatment is not convinced that there exists chi flowing in certain areas of the body, they continue to regard shiatsu and other alternative treatment as simply complementary medicine techniques. However, with the many years of existence, it has proven that shiatsu actually helps significantly the human body to fight diseases and improves overall body wellness.

In fact, it is found to be helpful in addressing various health conditions, such as digestive pain, muscular pain, and emotional pain. A lot other benefits are also experienced by the people receiving the shiatsu massage treatment, specifically, complete relaxation, improvement of blood circulation, prevention of diseases, balanced menstrual cycles, increased flexibility and mobility in the body, removal of wastes and toxins, and increased energy, spiritual, and mental well-being.
