Clinical deep-tissue massage in Brighton for chronic pain management
Are you experiencing pain from an injury, from having to sit and work at a desk all day, or from any kind of repetitive strain from a job you do?
Clinical deep tissue massage can help you with these kinds of pain issues, whether they have just popped up or whether you have had them for many years. I use a whole range of techniques from deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and subtle energy work. Every treatment is tailored according to your specific needs.
This form of manual therapy, with information and advice on movement and exercise, coupled with postural awareness techniques, is a non-invasive fusion of Eastern and Western techniques.It facilitates recovery and empowers you with the knowledge to stay as pain free as possible in the future.
I can help to improve your pain levels, flexibility and range of movement. Within 1 to 6 treatments of clinical deep tissue massage, I would expect your pain levels to reduce and I will help you to obtain and maintain your best possible performance. I use cutting-edge advanced clinical massage and craniosacral techniques, with powerful lasting results.
Craniosacral Therapy in Brighton
Are you struggling with stress, anxiety or insomnia? Perhaps you have digestive, respiratory or blood pressure problems?
Tensions and restrictions held deeply within your body tissues can manifest as many kinds of problems.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, safe hands-on treatment using a light touch which enables long-held tensions within your body to release. Often these restrictions from our lives become so embedded we become unconscious of them. Yet we keep getting repetitive aches, discomfort and unease physically, emotionally and in our general well-being. Craniosacral therapy gives the mind/body an opportunity to release, restore and integrate into healthy function.To learn more please click here

A solid knowledge of anatomy combined with intuitive insight gives Lucy an incredible knack of focusing treatment exactly where "kneaded"! After weeks of back pain I have regained much flexibility and am nearly pain free after just one session. Highly recommended! 
Mumma Lou LJ
22/12/2019 - I greatly appreciated Lucy’s in-depth knowledge of the body and her professionalism in providing a holistic approach to massage. Lucy offered a pre-assessment of my needs via a friendly yet professional phone call and delivered a very relaxing, effective and much needed deep tissue massage. Lucy also recommended to me some daily stretches specified to areas of current discomfort and these have proven to be effective. I highly recommend Lucy (Holistic Massage Kneads) to anyone who requires a relaxing massage treatment targeting body discomfort

Rose Miller
20/04/2021 - Lucy is wonderful. I felt so warm and welcome from the start. I would recommend Lucy to anyone who is trying to find a massage / CranioSacral therapist. She was extremely respectful and kind. As someone who is recovering from trauma and has trouble connecting to my own body, I would highly recommend Lucy. I felt so incredibly safe in her presence and immediately relaxed (as much as I could) from the get go. It was a wonderful experience and it will become a regular therapy for me.
