Vicky Griffiths Remedial, Pregnancy & Sports Massage Therapist
I believe in natural health and being empowered by taking responsibility for our own body, health and well-being. The repetitive actions of work, lifestyle, sports and hobbies, can put strains and stresses on our bodies which can cause persistent aches and pains. Emotional stresses can also have a huge impact on the body and mind which may manifest as physical discomforts, raised blood pressure or anxiety and insomnia.

Massage Therapy is a comprehensive and completely natural treatment which aids the body's own healing process to help alleviate these discomforts. I am currently just working from VB Health in Grasscroft, Saddleworth and currently unable to offer appointments at OCL Saddleworth Pool and Gym. Massage therapy makes a great gift and gift vouchers can be purchased from each location or ordered online.

Firstly, let's debunk one myth: stress is not necessarily a 'bad' thing.
Without this brilliant ability to feel stress, humankind wouldn't have survived.
Our ancestors used the onset of stress to alert them to a potential danger, such as a sabre-toothed tiger.
Stress is primarily a physical response.
When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to 'fight or flight' mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action.
Stress targets the weakest part of our physiology or character; if you are prone to headaches or eczema, this will flare-up.
If you have low levels of patience or tolerance for others, this will be the first area to present under times of stress.
Stress isn't avoidable but it is manageable.
A key action in order to minimise risk is to identify stress-related problems as early as possible, so that action can be taken before serious stress-related illness occurs.
There will be changes in the stressed person.
Anything from everyday responsibilities like work and family to serious life events such as a new diagnosis, war, or the death of a loved one can trigger stress.
For immediate, short-term situations, stress can be beneficial to your health.
It can help you cope with potentially serious situations.
Your body responds to stress by releasing hormones that increase your heart and breathing rates and ready your muscles to respond.
Yet if your stress response doesn't stop firing, and these stress levels stay elevated far longer than is necessary for survival, it can take a toll on your health.
Massage is a form of physiotherapy, and one of the oldest forms of medicine dating back to ancient times.
It is a comprehensive and completely natural treatment which aids the body's own healing processes and aims to bring the body back into balance.
Massage generally deals with tight and aching muscles.
These can be caused by posture imbalance, repetitive actions through work or hobbies, sports injuries such as whiplash or sprains, and arthritis.
Tension headaches may also be caused by muscle tightness.
NO HANDS massage now accounts for at least 70% of the treatments I give.
It's extremely popular, so why is it so popular and what exactly is NO HANDS massage all about?.
NO HANDS massage is deep, releasing, rejuvenating and nourishing.
It is a dynamic form of massage that is becoming popular across the world as one of the most powerful new therapeutic massage treatments available.
NO HANDS massage is a technique developed by Gerry Pyves a massage therapist and psychotherapist, who developed repetitive strain injury after years of massaging and could no longer use his hands.
