The menopause is a hot topic in the UK right now. It was also big news last year when HRT treatments were in short supply and prescriptions couldn’t be filled. Social media has become awash with alternative treatments, from herbs to supplements which may or may not work. So, there is a lot of information and noise to navigate through to find clarity.
Different for everyone
Perimenopause and menopause symptoms will vary substantially from person to person. Some will have few and mild symptoms while others can be severe and impact the quality of life. For some, the symptoms can be sort lived and for others, can last for several years. Symptoms will change at different stages of the menopause. Reliable and up to date information is important. And the best place to start in the UK is Women’s Health Concern, which provides an independent service. Their website can be found at: https://www.womens-health-concern.org/ for further information.
A good night’s sleep
A Channel4 menopause survey found that 8 out of 10 women found difficulty in sleeping. We all know that sleep is key to our wellbeing, but night sweats and stress can make a good night’s sleep seem a remote experience. Lack of sleep can increase stress and anxiety which will compound many of the menopausal symptoms. Such as brain fog, mood changes and aching joints. This is often made worse because many life experiences happen at the same time as the menopause, such as empty nest, ageing parents, and relationship issues, etc.
Making the Menopause a positive experience
Enjoying Life
Improved sleep quality, a clearer mind and increased freedom of movement can transform the menopause experience for the better. So, how can you do this?
The aim of Pure Body Fix® is to restore body harmony and is therefore a holistic therapy. We can help you identify how to lower stress and increase mobility. The combination of our pre-massage consultation and advanced massage techniques will deliver a treatment that is specific to you.
The Power of Massage
There are three elements to a Pure Body Fix® treatment:
- The Pre-Massage Consultation. Before the treatment starts, we carry out an assessment of your wellbeing, health, needs and desired outcome. This will enable us to devise the optimum massage for your treatment and agree outcome goals.
- The Treatment. Massage will utilise a range of advanced techniques to help achieve the agreed outcome goals. These will include a combination of deep tissue and remedial massage techniques. If the outcome goals are more about reducing stress, then the massage will use more deep tissue techniques. However, if the goals are more about increasing mobility and reducing aches and pains, then more remedial massage techniques will be utilised.
- Aftercare. After the treatment the client will be given aftercare advice to continue the benefits of the treatment. The aftercare advice is an essential part of Pure Body Fix® because prevention and maintenance are essential to reduce the symptoms of menopause. Aftercare advise may include specific exercises, encouragement to continue physical activities and recommendations for lifestyle choices.
Pure Body Fix® is one element combined with reliable information that can help make the menopause a positive life experience. Email, info@themassagespa.co.uk to book your massage now.
