Danielle Woolcott-King Massage Therapy

Back to reality after 2 blissful myofascial workshop days learning all about working with the ribs, thorax and abdomen. This myofascial masterclass was really eye opening around breath and how hands on bodywork can help create space for breathing.

Anyone with asthma, long covid, COPD, those stuck in respiratory tension or athletes wanting more breath capacity will benefit from these new moves!

Having experienced a whole load of this treatment what really struck me was how calm I felt. I'm really looking forward to introducing this work to some of my clients who suffer with anxiety issues.

Whenever Zeus isn't here it's the first question I get asked "no Zeus today?". He's such a little presence snoozing in the corner that it does feel like something is missing.

Although never ideal when he decides the middle of the treatment is a good time for a scratch and lick session. That is rare thankfully 🤣

Perimenopause and menopause can be genuinely brutal. I know that first hand 🙋‍♀️

When I started mine it hit hard. And it's that experience that's made me so passionate about supporting women going through the same upheaval, because that's exactly what it is. An upheaval.
What I love about the way I work is that it's rooted in real clinical research.

These dissertations from , by Frances Birch, Iona Jones, Natalia Alonso and Mandy Hurworth, look at the effects of Jing Method advanced clinical massage on symptoms like anxiety, low mood, irritability, exhaustion and joint pain in perimenopausal and menopausal women.

The results are genuinely impressive. And I see it in my treatment room every single week 💪

If you're in Brighton or Hove and you're in the thick of it right now, this is what I do. I'm currently accepting new clients and I would love to support you through it.
Drop me a DM and let's have a chat.

Why are my shoulders up by my ears?

Stiff neck and shoulders and the rise of the shoulders towards the ears is a common subconscious reaction to stress. The tension that accumulates in the mind often overflows and is stored in the body. It is a common bodily response to store this overflow of tension in the trapezius.

This is probably the most common move I do in my massage treatments, pincer grasp to the upper trapezius. It feels great and helps to ease tension and tightness out of the muscle.
