A massage is an invitation to reset and continue feeling all that you’ve received.

To stay in that blissed-out, calm (or whatever you’ve received) zone.

Rushing around to get dressed and leave the clinic and back to life as it was is likely to unravel the benefits you’ve received.

Whether or not you work with me, I recommend this tried-and-tested bodywork approach for recovery:
At the end of your session, I encourage you not to rush, because rushing to our brain equals stress.
And stress is probably why you came to me in the first place.
The whole of a session time with me is carefully crafted - from the moment you step into the clinic
- to when you leave (and hopefully what you do after) is all part of your experience.

Burnout is a full body experience with ripple effects that stretch out to impact our personality, our relationships and how we live our lives.

This is a three part blog detailing the multiple reasons behind it, risk factors, symptoms and the elements of realistic recovery.

Because we work together regularly and progressively, the effects are far reaching.

The more regulated they become, the less urgent everything feels. That noise inside them feels quieter and calmer. They begin to handle challenges and confidence grows.

They stop feeling guilty for taking care of themselves. They take lunch breaks. Arrange a rain check rather than meet with friends when they feel shattered. They begin to feel ok with boundaries…and themselves. That’s where the shift happens

They realise it’s not about doing less or more, it’s about listening to their needs and simply being themselves.

If you are constantly scanning, monitoring and analysing movement and focusing on pain, you are probably bracing, adapting your movement and convincing your brain the pain in your body is top priority. It’s a really natural and challenging habit to break. (And I say this as I nurture an injury myself right now)

Throughout your massage session I use pain psychology to redirect your brain focus to new, positive sensations of comfort and ease and not rise from the table, stiffening up and expecting the pain to come flooding back. This approach combined with deeply restorative massage to soothe the nervous system creates a potent recovery technique.

It only takes 3 months of pain (intermittent or consistent) to be classed as chronic pain and, it’s sobering to know roughly 28 million adults experience some degree of long-term persistent pain (NHS survey for England 2026 estimates).

Silence and stillness are only soothing when our nervous system feels regulated.

So I use rhythm, via sound, touch and movement woven throughout each of your treatments. It gives you something to focus on rather than the chatter in your head (this is also how I teach nervous system regulation without all the hype)

Silence and stillness are only soothing when our nervous system feels regulated.

So I recommend, if you’ve laid on a treatment table, unable to stop that brain from chit-chatting through the whole session, make sure your therapist understands how to take your nervous system into that rest and recovery state.

Consent, permission or contracting doesn’t need to be stuffy and formal and isn’t just for the difficult moments…it’s what makes a treatment safe from the very first word and touch.

I trained in the psychology of touch over ten years ago and began learning the potency of defining boundaries. It creates a feeling of clarity and ease... for both of us. So, if you experience anxiety, chronic pain or chronic health conditions, this can be a game changer for feeling confident and safe throughout your treatment time.

This is an important part of trauma informed work, which is so valid for everyone because there’s talk, movements, techniques and breathing exercises that can trigger emotions, and you need a therapist capable of supporting you if required.

This is why I trained to keep you safe regardless of whether you ‘just booked a massage’ for some R&R or The nervous system reset or Psychotactile Psychotherapy. The skills I have cover therapeutic touch, talk therapy and everything in-between.

We crave rhythm.
It reassures us at a primitive level. The very first thing we hear is a heartbeat in the womb. We rock a baby to sleep. We rub a toddlers’ sore knee better and soothe a crying child by stroking their hair.

We need rhythm to reassure us as adults too. Notice the many ways you find ordinary moments of repetitive, calm and present movement throughout your day. Rocking chairs, a slow breath in and out, a hug, walking, stroking your pet, dancing, music, crafts, swimming, drawing, painting, even wandering around as you water the garden at the beginning or end of your day. This is nervous system regulation without all the hype.
