Massage therapy in Huddersfield.
Trained in sports massage, manual lymphatic drainage and reiki.
Delivering person entered and bespoke treatments by Pollyanna.
My intention is on collaboration with the nervous system. To calm, restore and soothe. I monitor and stay in the bounds of what is comfortable, considerate of pain tolerance and experiencial understanding of the body.
I work with a wide range of people to counteract the effects of everyday life, balence stresses and bring the body into harmony.
My training in sports massage therapy has given me experience with a variety of injuries, conditions and personal experience. I listen to people, their expectations and aims of the session and respond accordingly. My approach is often intuitive using techniques of myofascial release, trigger point therapy, active and passive stretching techniques along side massage. I tailor my treatments to need, expectation and ability as well as responding to the body. The body often directs me to where tension is stored in the tissue effecting movement patterns and emotions.
I create the space for discovery, inquiry and negotiation. The space is yours for self inquiry, to shift what needs shifting and give a different approach to how the mind and body work together.
I ask open questions about pressure and personal experience during the session. You can share as little or as much as you wish. Some people talk throughout while others are silent other than verbally responding to prompts. The treatment is for you, if you need to be mentally distract in order to relax the body we can talk around the treatment. If you need to focus on the body and sensations or practice meditation and mindfulness with limited communication that is also possible. I will always be monitoring breathing, comfort and the reponces in the nervous system in order for you to get the most out of the session.
