Massage & Yoga at The Old Bakery, Bovey Tracey

“Time to restore your body’s balance”

 

With Alison Phillips, Dip ITEC Massage, Dip British Wheel of Yoga, Dip APNT Indian Head Massage

After completing my training in yoga in 1994 I have enjoyed the opportunity of working both privately and in Adult Education. Through my Yogic development I became increasingly interested in the benefits of body-work and went on to train in massage and Indian head massage. I have been established in my private practice in Bovey Tracey since 2003. My clients benefit from my holistic approach to treatment and I hope to provide an individual treatment tailored to your specific needs.  I treat a broad spectrum of people from the young and active to the not so young and active! Clients with illnesses such arthritis, post stroke trauma or Parkinsons (for example) can often benefit from a soothing stretching massage or from an individual yoga programme.

Massage is beneficial to all body systems and is a natural and effective way to treat both physical and psychological problems as well as providing an enjoyable way to unwind. Massage reduces stress, anxiety and emotional problems by relaxing both the body and the mind. It can improve the circulation, strengthen the immune system, stimulate the lymphatic and reduce the aches and pains of stiff joints and sore muscles.

Indian Head Massage focuses on the upper body where a lot of anxieties and tensions are stored. It relaxes the upper body working on the back, shoulder, arms, neck, face and head. If you are uncomfortable with the thought of a full body massage then this might be the treatment for you.

Yoga teaches how we can reduce the effects of emotional and physical stresses in our body ourselves. In a one to one session we will focus on your individual needs and abilities.
