the term Naturist Massage simply means that my clients are welcome to be completely nude during their treatment session. As a naturist I have no problem with nudity and am quite happy to also be nude while giving massage, the choice is yours! you and I can be nude or not as you wish.

spas and beauty treatments seem these days to be becoming even more prudish than ever with some refusing to massage males between the navel and knee. the fuss and bother of draping is completely eliminated making the flow of the massage smoother and more relaxing. there is a distinct advantage in that being nude allows full access to all areas of my clients body.

everyone who comes to me for a massage has the opportunity to let me know if they wish me to avoid some areas of contact before we start. the areas of concern are of course inner thighs, buttocks, genitals on male and female, and breasts on the ladies. let me know and I will avoid these areas. gentlemen should not be concerned about getting an erection as I've seen it all before.

massage! what can it do?

modern massage 'systems' are all derived from Swedish Massage which dates back to the early 1800's. my own training was in Finnish Massage, close both in distance and style to the original Swedish. Finnish Massage was developed in the run-up to the 1912 Olympics, to aid sportmen and women in preparing for explosive, and potentially damaging, bursts of energy and action. The results from that event speak for themselves with 5 golds for running and field events being won.

the basic strokes used in massage then are still used today. unfortunately the use of massage went out of fashion during the middle of last century as it gathered a reputation for being either 'luxurious pampering', a cover for prostitution, or only for sportsmen and women, with little in between.

the growth of the alternative therapy movement during the seventies saw some adventurous types moving beyond simple 'relaxation massage'. although, relaxation is still very much part of massage, what is today known as 'deep tissue massage' led the way to a number of current massage therapies. massage is no longer just for pampering, it is for relief of muscular tension, aches and pains as well as improving circulation, lymphatic drainage, muscle tone, skin tone and creating a feeling of well-being and invigoration.

neuromuscular therapy, muscle energy techniques, trigger point therapy and soft-tissue release are all part of the arsenal of a modern massage therapist. GP's and other health workers are increasingly recognising massage as being of benefit after injury or insult to the muscular/skeletal system and even as a pre- or post-operative aid to quicker recovery. long standing postural problems or defensive holding patterns caused by injury may be handled without resorting to drugs. simple sprains and strains can be helped and reduced by massage when applied in an appropriate manner and with the correct technique.

relief from pain and discomfort from aching muscles and joints whether vigorous or gentle, massage of aching muscles or joints helps bring relief by stimulating blood-flow and removing waste products built up by exercise or work. it even helps to passively exercise under-used muscles and joints.

faster recovery from injury

recovery from injury is brought about by increased blood-flow, stimulating lymphatic drainage and exercising body parts it may be too painful to move by yourself.

faster recovery after operations

pre- and post-operation massage greatly improves the amount of time taken to recover from surgery by the means described above. it can also help to reduce scarring as the fibres that have been invaded knit together more quickly with gentle massage. a small amount of stretching and massage keeps circulation working properly whilst convalesing speeding up recovery.

greater flexibility and range of motion

passive stretching of muscles helps to recover full range of movement within joints even after protective patterns have been in place for some time.

better circulation

better circulation is not only involved in pumping blood round the body but also in eliminating waste products. fatty acids build up with work and exercise and need to be flushed through the system. those molecules that are to big to pass into the blood stream are sent back via the lymphatic system. this system benefits greatly from the stimulation that massage provides.

improved skin condition

improved circulation means more oxygen getting to and waste products being removed from the skin cells. More oxygen means healthier more flexible skin through production of sebum (our natural moisturiser) and a proper acidity to the skin for protection from germ invasion.

well-being and vitality

the feeling of pleasure and relaxation received from massage aids the whole body in feeling more energetic. muscles move better, joints work more smoothly, aches and pains reduce all leaving you feeling revitalised all over. sleep can improve and headaches reduce with the resulting feeling of well-being making you feel quite different, relaxed and happier.
