Neuromuscular therapy is a scientific approach to muscular pain relief. Neuromuscular therapy works to balance the musculoskeletal and nervous stems throughout the body to enhance the function of the joints, muscles and natural biomechanics of the body.

With any neuromuscular treatment your therapist monitors six physiological factors that can create or intensify pain patterns:

Ischemia: Lack of blood supply to a muscle which may cause hypersensitivity to touch.

Trigger points: Aggravated points within a muscle which may refer pain to other parts of the body.

Nerve entrapment / Compression: Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue cartilage or bone.

Postural distortions and imbalances: Imbalance of the muscular system caused by the body by movement of the longitudinal and horizontal planes.

Biomechanical dysfunction: Imbalance of the muscular system resulting in faulty movement patterns.

Deep tissue massage has a slower rhythm to the massage and a little more pressure is applied, this is to direct the massage to the deeper levels of muscle and connective tissue.

Deep tissue massage is excellent for back pain, stiff & sore areas of the body including the neck and lower limbs.

Deep tissue massage helps an area in chronic muscle pain or tension by breaking down adhesions.

( adhesions are areas / bands of rigid muscle)  Adhesions can cause or aggravate pain and can slow or block circulation and impair mobility.

This therapy is used as a preventative measure against injuries as rehabilitation discipline.
It can be used in conjunction with an existing training regime or as a prelude to a training program, be it individual or team based.

This therapy has also shown a great improvement in performance and mobility for those being treated on the run up to a sporting event.

Also this therapy can be used pre & post event. Elaine Christina has worked with numerous football, running, cycling, swimming, dance & martial arts clubs in this capacity getting teams ready for competitions.

Massage is probably the oldest form of healing. Every day we use touch instinctively to help soothe and comfort ourselves and others.
Holistic massage consists of slow and controlled movements over the body which helps to increase blood flow to an area increasing temperature, warming up the muscles.

Holistic Massage has many benefits; from a physical point of view, it helps to soothe sore muscle while stretching them very slightly. It helps bring fresh blood flow to an area while moving any toxins or lymphatic fluid away.

It is deeply relaxing to the body and helps the body’s nervous and muscular systems to relax and then rebalance. Holistic Massage helps to alleviate aches and pains and the stresses of everyday life.  This type of massage is imperative to anyone who is highly stressed and can aid in lower blood pressure over time.

Holistic massage also has benefits for the mind, it is proven that massage helps to uplift the mood, and also the fact that your body can fully relax, and your mind can wander for the duration of the treatment is also a healthy plus, as it gives your mind a much needed break from life.

During this treatment Elaine uses a personal blend of organic oils infused with flower & herb essences specifically tailored for her clients needs. With the use of hot towels during and after treatment, these oils melt seamlessly into the body for your maximum benefit.

Pregnancy massage is massage therapy specifically tailored for the expectant mother's needs. It is also called pre-natal massage.

Not only can massage be physically beneficial, but the human touch can be comforting and provide emotional support during pregnancy.

Indian Head Massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years.

Indian Head Massage has many health benefits on a physical level. It can be used to clear sinuses and alleviate and pains or strains from the face, head, neck and shoulders.

It is also excellent at relieving the symptoms of migraine / headaches. It is also excellent at lowering blood pressure and stimulating hair growth.

Indian Head Massage can also aid the fight against ageing including the fight against wrinkles and laughter lines. It can also benefit the face as it increase circulation, bringing fresh nutrients to the skin and decreasing puffiness.

All the benefits of crystal therapy, combined with a holistic massage, make for a very relaxing treatment.

Massaging with crystals combines the relaxing benefits of massage with the healing vibrations of crystals and can give an experience that relaxes and balances the whole body.

Crystal massage can be performed on yourself or on another person or animal.

Crystals are developed and cultivated over millions of years. Each crystal has different attributes.

Everyone has energy flowing around their body which is often referred to as someone’s “aura”, or electromagnetic field. Within the body we also have chakra points. We mostly focus on seven; there are an infinite number of chakra points.

Crystals work as a conductor to this energy we all have flowing around our body. During the treatment crystals are placed around / on the body, this helps to encourage the flow of energy around the body, releasing areas of stagnant or stuck energy.

This is a relaxing treatment; however it's also beneficial to all types of conditions and injuries.
Tissues With Issues have had great success using this treatment on people who are suffering emotional issues such as anger, bereavement & guilt. This treatment has also been successfully used on suffers of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue & arthritis.

This relaxing and purifying treatment has your skin's best interests at heart.

Crystals are moved over the skin to aid in lymphatic drainage and decreasing puffiness, then crystals are moved across the skin to cleanse and purify followed by a facial massage with crystals that polish and brighten.

The facial massage is then continued with crystals that aid in regaining elasticity and plumpness of skin.

This treatment is completely relaxing for you and beneficial for your skin. It's safe for any age group & any skin type.

This treatment is completely safe for anyone with sensitive or allergy prone skin.

Having your chakras balanced is important to your physical and mental health.

Chakras that are balanced and open will allow the energy of the body to flow freely and naturally around the body.

It is when one of these chakras are blocked or misaligned that energy may become stuck causing the flow of energy to be disturbed.

Chakras can become blocked / closed or misaligned through illness or grief.

Need a gift but don’t know what to get?

No problem, allow tissues with issues to help. 

We understand that sometimes you don't want someone to know how much you spent; also that sometimes you are on a budget. 

So to help with this dilemma we keep all our treatments at the same price. Also we don’t put amounts on our vouchers only the length of time someone has. 
This helps you as it cuts out the worry of: if you picked a treatment that special someone will like, and also if they have enough credits on their voucher to receive the treatments they want.

This also means if that special someone would like a half hour of Indian head treatment and a half hour deep tissues we can accommodate them.

Tissues With Issues vouchers can also be redeemed against any of our workshops, all vouchers come fabulously packaged.
