Does the thought of lying face down put you off booking a massage?

You're not alone. Many people delay the therapeutic benefits of massage due to discomfort in traditional positions.
The side-lying position is a powerful, comfortable, and highly effective alternative that makes massage truly accessible.
While it's the gold standard for prenatal care, it's a game-changer for anyone with:
Back pain or injuries
Large breasts
Respiratory issues (such as asthma or allergies)
Joint sensitivity or arthritis
Any condition that makes lying face-down uncomfortable
Why It's So Effective:
This technique is as much about results as it is about comfort. From my perspective as a therapist, it allows for:
Superior Access: I can work more comprehensively on the side of the torso, hips, and shoulder girdle.
Targeted Techniques: It enables precise work to release deep tension in the glutes, hamstrings, and upper back muscles.
Built-In Safety: It naturally avoids pressure on the abdomen or sensitive areas, making it a secure choice for post-surgical or physically compromised clients.
If you've been hesitating, let this be your solution. I am committed to providing a massage experience that is both profoundly beneficial and entirely comfortable for every body.
