Sarah Davies Therapies
Holistic & Clinical Massage Therapist. Specialising in chronic pain for women. Nantgarw | Pontypridd
My mission is to remind you just how good your body can feel by easing aches & pains with a relaxing deep tissue massage. I want people to know that a good massage doesnβt have to hurt to be effective and deep tissue massage is gentle enough to be relaxing, yet deep enough to ease stubborn muscles. I stand against massages that hurt or make you feel uncomfortable, and work towards providing a blended treatment of different therapies that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

Q: What happens when a ND massage therapist can't massage because her kiddo is on bed rest?...
A: She signs-up for more training, of course!
Yep, following a rabbit hole of looking for local ADHD support groups, I didn't find any, but instead found an advert to train as a ADHD coach. π
From September they'll be no clinic on Tuesdays.
Coaching is all about collaborative goal setting, so, it ties in nicely with what I do now with Rehab.
If you struggle with ADHD issues, keep me I'm mind, as I'll be looking for 2 practice clients towards the end of the year.
P.S. Massive thanks to all the comments & messages of love and support. Ffion is making a great recovery. πππ

TAI CHI & CLINIC CANCELLED TODAY!
We spent last night at the hospital.
Ffion (12) had a seizure. Thankfully they let her come home early hours, but, she needs constant monitoring until she has more tests.
I'll be contacting everyone who's due in this week to reschedule, I'm just going to take each day as it comes at the moment.
I'll keep this page updated.
We were so lucky to have the sensory room at the Heath to help her recover. The Paeds staff were amazing.
I'll welcome any advice or tips on seizures or epilepsy.

Please note: I cannot massage sunburnt skin! π«
If you do burn remember: Suncream is more effective than aftersun. It helps take the sting out as the UV ray's energy penetrates through the skin's layers causing cellular and DNA damage for up to 36 hours after exposure.
Please reschedule if you are sunburnt, peeling or experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion. π

I was asked last week if someone needed a Dr's note to receive a massage (like they're previous therapist) and they were shocked when I said "no".
Then it dawned on me... clients don't really know about the different levels of massage training, and it's quite important when looking for a therapist to meet your needs.
πLEVEL 3 - ENTRY-LEVEL - SWEDISH (& SPORTS*)
If you go for a massage and there's no method or technique in the name, there's a good chance it's Swedish aka Holistic Massage
Swedish is the foundations of massage, famous for the long guiding movements called effleurage, friction, tapotment (hacking & cupping) and perrissage (wringing - like at the top of the shoulders that feel so good.
This level allows therapists to massage 'uninjured healthy tissue' and some common conditions with a Dr's note (high b/p, diabetes etc.)
FOCUS: Relaxation & de-stress
Sports massage can be added with additional training . Again the focus is on working with healthy tissue.
πLEVEL 4 - SPORTS MASSAGE
Sprains, strains & sports event preparation and recovery, with possible assessment and rehab depending on course provider.
FOCUS: Acute Injuries & possible Rehabilitation & Sports preparation & recovery.
πLEVEL 5 - Advanced Clinical Massage
Includes advanced techniques, with the focus on clinical (measurable) results. Includes Orthopaedic Testing and treatment of complex & chronic conditions and rehabilitation.
FOCUS: Complex conditions, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for acute & chronic conditions.
πLEVEL 6 - Clinical Mastery & Specalism
Includes deeper learning as L5, plus, independent clinical research studies in chosen subject.
FOCUS: I choose Jaw (& Neck) Pain in Women. Completed my own clinical study & have clinical evidence on the efficiency of massage - to prove that massage works!
In other words...
Level 3 for Relaxation & de-stress
Level 4 for sports and acute injuries
Level 5 for acute and chronic injuries
Level 6 for Specialism in the area you need.
πADDITIONAL TRAINING
Therapists are able to take short courses such as Hot Stones, Cupping and Pregnancy. But they still work at the level of their training.
*Information provided is from my own personal experience and training providers.
