Emma Gilmore

Emma is an advanced massage and bodywork therapist, who mainly treats people with painful conditions and dysfunctions. Emma is also able to give a deep tissue therapeutic massage to relieve stress & induce relaxation. Emma continuously updates her skills, bringing you many dimensions to her treatment, she has a bio mechanical approach, but also believes in the innate power of the body to self heal & her work prompts the body to do this.

The approach of every therapist varies enormously, due to their training, clinical & personal experience; equally every patient is completely different & presents a diverse range of issues both emotionally & physically. Emma’s approach is very personal & her main aim is to listen carefully to her client‘s needs and to develop an individual treatment plan, which may vary from session to session, depending on the client‘s specific requirements that day. Even if one person displays the same symptoms as another, their treatments could vary enormously. Using a combination of advanced massage and bodywork techniques, Emma achieves results that constantly surprise her clients.

Emma aims to empower her patients to understand their ailments and to involve them in the healing process, frequently giving easy to follow, practical home care advice. Again this may vary from session to session, as the treatment progresses; she is careful NOT to overwhelm clients with complex suggestions.

A particular interest of Emma’s is restoring space to within the body, believing many conditions arise as a result of compression. The majority of us lead sedentary lives, sitting or standing for long lengths of time. Over years this can lead to painful conditions such as compression of the vertebral column, intevertebral discs and their associated nerves. By simply encouraging space back within the body, Emma aims to reduce pain, increase mobility and client comfort.
