ACMT, Dip OA

Michelle is an experienced, Advanced Clinical Massage Therapist (ACMT), delivering highly personalised massage therapy to clients across East Sussex.

‘I have trained in a wide variety of therapeutic and clinical practices including, sports & deep tissue, trigger point therapy, osteo-articulation, kinesio/sports taping, advanced stretching techniques, myofascial release, scar tissue release & pregnancy massage.

Over the years I have found that no one particular technique ‘suits all’, and often I will use a range of techniques to achieve an optimal outcome for each individual. Typically, this will be pain relief, but it could also be achieving a greater range of motion in a joint, scar tissue work after surgery or injury, stress / anxiety relief or massage for pure relaxation.  I firmly believe that all massage, whatever the reason, should always feel pleasant & relaxing. I do not believe in ‘no pain, no gain’. A degree of discomfort is sometimes unavoidable, especially when treating an injury, but this should be well managed with good communication.

My massage is always adaptive & responsive it can be active & dynamic as well as relaxed, I work with my clients as they present on the day & no two days are ever the same. I work with trust, integrity & sensitivity; the most effective treatments are always in partnership. The best results I find are achieved when a client feels relaxed, safe & in control.
