Massage

Most people have heard of massage and know of it's reviving and relaxing properties. There aren't many people who haven't yearned for a good massage during stressful times or after a gruelling workout. However, massage can also boost the digestive system and boost immunity making it a valuable therapy in any healthcare regime. At Back2Life it is a firm favourite amongst patients and sometimes a useful complement to the osteopathic treatments as well.

About your massage

Massage is suitable for most people. To ensure your continued well-being all our treatments begin with a consultation – enabling your therapist to make sure that massage is right for you. A confidential case history will be kept with any relevant notes for future treatments. Comfort is paramount with rooms nice and warm and plenty of blankets on hand.

The object of massage is to activate the touch receptors in your skin, with the appropriate level of pressure, so that the receptors send pleasurable messages to your brain. Rhythmic stroking of your skin ensures that massage is always a soothing and regenerating experience. Overall, a massage helps you relax and unwind, which makes it an ideal antidote to today’s stressful lifestyles.

Types of massage

Back2Life Clinic offers several types of massage:

Swedish massage which is great for general relaxation.

Therapeutic massage to more specifically tackle injuries, stiffness, imbalances and muscle tensions This more complex form of massage assists in the removal of waste products and helps supply the tissues with essential nutrients to aid recovery and increases blood flow so that tissues can help improve the recovery process. This massage is often used alongside the more advanced body work being done in the osteopathic sessions and is a valued contribution to the whole treatment plan.

It is hard to find a more friendly, professional and dedicated to wellness team than this. Helen and Dave have restored my youth...or at least my ability to move and enjoy playing with my son. I cannot thank you enough!

As a musician I live with the a lot of aches and pains. I've tried many many things over the years to feel better. David McCabe has changed my life and given me relief and freedom in my body that I'd given up hope of ever feeling. David and Helen are the nicest people you could meet but are also thoroughly professional and brilliant at what they do. I have recommended them to many of my friends and colleagues. Can't thank them enough. Back2Life Clinic is the best. Thank you David and Helen.

My life was on hold due to chronic back pain and I lost 4 years of my life waiting for the NHS to help/cure me. After a recommendation I visited the Back2Life clinic. After just 3 months I was able to work again and since then I finally got married and had a baby. The name says it all.... They really did help me Back2Life!

Very professional and welcoming. Took my 12 week baby as he was having problems 'winding'. After 2 sessions with Helen he is so much better - so much happier and I don't dread feeding times and endless hours of trying to wind. Highly recommend trying if you have a wee one with colicky symptoms.

Stay at home to stop coronavirus spreading

online9

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

You should only leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons:

shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible
one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household
any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person
travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home

Important

These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

In response to current guidance, Helen and David have taken the difficult decision to temporarily cease face to face consultations at Back2Life Clinics as of 9 am on Monday 23 March 2020.

We will instead be offering online services using video calls. These have proved invaluable to patients benefitting from diagnosis, reassurance, lifestyle and exercise advice with personalised exercise sheets delivered via email.

In taking this decision, we have weighed up the benefit of face to face consultations versus the risk of increasing spread of coronavirus. Our priority is the wellbeing of our patients, staff and the wider community. We anticipate that we will continue to deliver high-quality care for people with aches, pains and stiffness.
