Leg and hip massage in Harrow, London

Massaging legs and hips is an integral part of a full massage treatment.  I use a combination of long stokes, kneading, folding the muscle, and using a variety of pressure appropriate to the client's needs.  Leg massage is best when you can take time out to relax, take a bath and fully recuperate.  As with any massage, a Swedish, sports or remedial leg massage helps to move lymph, to activate the circulatory system and to bring about a state of healing and stress reduction.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy, London

Healing power of Massage in Harrow, London

The fact that massage can heal the mind and body is well documented and I have seen this ample times.  Last week I gave a general massage to alleviate stress within the muscular skeletal system, which also facilitates better circulation of the vascular and lymphatic systems.  But she said that she recently had a bereavement and was glad to hear that I see massage therapy a healing art.  We conversed over the ancientness of massage and how it was a powerful and legitimate modality of healing and gaining wellness.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports and Remedial, London www.harrowmassagetherapy.com 

Massage in Harrow, London

Being well and able to function normally is a battle for many people.  Massage therapy in Harrow can address issues stemming from sluggish circulatory system - including the lymphatic system, muscles frozen and locked in painful positions that limit full range of motion...  The problems can be sourced to sitting for long periods, poor sleeping habits and chronic overuse of very specific set of muscles such as a swimmer, tennis player or other athlete.  Massage therapy addresses many ailments and frees one from pain and ill health.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy in Harrow, London, www.harrowmassagetherapy.com 

Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Harrow, London

The follow up to my Lymphatic Drainage Massage Client included applying compression from the feet up to the thighs using a technique I developed where my hands pump and compress the leg gradually.  The results were impressive and the client said after the first treatment she could walk with more freedom and less pain.  I felt her legs were more soft and like a ripe mango, rather than a firm apple.  This comparison is accurate and though humorous, is not actually meant to be...  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage massage in Harrow, London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Lymphatic drainage massage in Harrow, London

I have had two straight massages booked for the purposes of manually draining lymph and general oedema in the legs - specifically the lower leg.  The latest client, a lady in her 70s, had legs that were puffed up to the point of feeling like a firm mango.  I proceeded to hold her heal, and with pumping motions, gently move up to the knee.  With each progressive move I left a slight imprint of my hand and fingers and could feel the fluid move leaving the soft tissue more loose.  The client said she felt a slight pain, but in a good way.  She left feeling more mobile and happy.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy, Sports and Remedial massage in Harrow, London www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Chair massage in Harrow, London

A massage performed on a purpose built chair is excellent for a quick massage.  The client sits in the chair with legs, arms and head supported and is very good for head, neck, shoulder and back massage.  As a portable and collapsable item, the massage chair complements the traditional table but with the added bonus of providing a relaxed and comfortable context for the client as there is no need for oils.  From Kasem, Harrow Remedial and Sports massage - Harrow, London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Harrow Massage Therapy reviews Omniblender

OmniBlend V 3 Hp Professional Blender with Free Stevia Extract!

Massage therapy heals sore, tight muscles and facilitates the removal of systemic waste and allows the body to relax.  The Omniblender is the latest product I advocate to my clients.  It has a 3 horse power motor and four blunt blades that smash and pulverise food, leaving the cell walls smashed and providing the body with easy access to nutrients in food that would otherwise be hard to access.  The machine's predigestion function makes it easier to digest food, as there is no need to break it up within the digestive system.  Overall, I would recommend the Omniblender for those seeking greater whole food nutrition and greater health.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Sports and Remedial, in Harrow, London www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Harrow Massage Recommends Soap Nuts - London

As a healer, I feel that soap nuts, a product that grows on trees in India and that cleans clothes without noxious toxic compounds and chemicals, must be promoted.  I read an article about five yeas ago and only last month tried them for the first time.  I feel guilt free knowing I am not damaging the water or the earth and in actuality, I feel happy that I am bringing more life, energy, joy, healing and a future for myself and others by knowing that if I poison the earth and its water, I will be poisoned and die.  So I encourage all my clients to give soap nuts a go.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports and Remedial, London.

Massage - remedial and sports helps depression

Any thought that massage can reduce depression is well founded.  A massage helps to bring the body and therefore mind to a higher level of peace and healing.  The issues relating to depression can be understood as being riveted to a stressed body and since our habits and thoughts are stored in our muscles, a massage can help us to take time out and literally let go of old pain, inertia or depression within the body, and I understand that the body and mind are interlinked and reflect one another.  A regular course of treatments is recommended for results to be truly present.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Sports & Remedial, in Harrow, London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Massage lowers blood pressure in Harrow, London

The idea that massage lowers blood pressure is not so far fetched when you consider that a massage allows the client an opportunity to simply relax whilst your body responds to techniques specifically designed to elicit healing and relaxation.  The fact of being in a state of calm produces a condition where the stresses and stressors in life are placed at a distance or neutralised.  High blood pressure is a response to stress and massage can be used effectively to reduce stress and channel more healing and vitality to both mind and body.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports & Remedial in Harrow, London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Back Pain relieved by Harrow Massage in London

Relieves lower back pain:  Anyone who has injured their back will know it is debilitating and can even ruin life.  The mind body feedback mechanism ensures that back pain brings about the dreaded psychological condition called depression.  Massage treats the soft tissue in the back and aims to release tension, encourage the removal of toxins and brings about the conditions where healing can take place.  An injury is basically inflammation and pain and it is the body's protection system and massage helps to shorten the time the body is inflamed, in pain and of the body holding muscles in a tight guarded position.  The back is the key structural feature of the body and a regular course of remedial massage treatments can do wonders and bring healing, flexibility and freedom.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports & Remedial in London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Stress and pain relief through regular Massage in Harrow, London

It can not be minimised; a stressed body is linked with a stressed mind.  This is mutually interlocked and the mind's state gets fed into the body and so forth.  If you think or expose your mind to stressful or hash images and sounds or sensations, your body will be flooded with elevated stress hormones, fight or flight, higher inflammation markers and a generally lowered immune system.  Our posture and muscles contain emotions and hold pain, knowledge and a great part of receiving a sports or remedial massage is releasing the pain and emotions that cleave to our organism.  A regular course of massage is a powerful way to rid our minds and bodies of stress, pain and of holding onto old emotions within the body and posture.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports and Remedial, in London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

When we do sport our muscles get used in a dynamic way which if there is a lack of adequate warm up and stretching before and after can result in an accumulation of injuries that become acute or even worse, chronic.  The way massage works is to move soft tissue or muscle by lengthening and applying strategies to encourage the area to twitch out of tension.  A sports massage is really a plan that includes a long term vision to get the athlete to understand stretching, diet and sufficient hydration.  A sports massage can help an acute injury, help a chronic nagging injury or to help tone up, relax the body to maximise performance and athletic output.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports &Remedial.  London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Neck Locked solution Harrow Massage London

Getting up and having a locked neck is a real pain.  It is probably caused by sleeping in a contorted position during the night, or having a dream or thought process that caused you to activate your neck muscles over a long period of time resulting in the morning strain.  The problem is that when you use your muscles in a particular way, habits form and the likelihood of reoccurring injury is quite high.  Massage helps you to become aware and connected with how you hold tension in your body and this alone can give you the insight and data to manage your tension and stress levels.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy (Sports&Remedial) London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Massage helps Hypertension in Harrow, London

 As anyone who has had a massage, it is by nature relaxing and the power of touch is healing and soothing on a level we can not explain.  A massage with an applied technique with an objective to heal, relax an area or like with Swedish Massage, just to have a soothing relaxing massage.  Hypertension is a chronic syndrome where a person's blood pressure is elevated to levels that precede heart attacks and strokes, and result in poor health along with a reduced quality of life.  How massage works is through a proven relationship between massage and reduced stress levels in general, which impinges on the vascular system, which has muscles within its structure, allowing them to relax.  This is the basics of  how massage alleviates hypertension.   To be successful, you really do need to be consistent and book a set of five or more treatments, and make changes to your diet and lifestyle.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapy- Sports & Remedial in London

Harrow Massage London - Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Our lymphatic system is a type of circulatory system with lymph vessels, nodes, lymph fluid and lymphocytes.  It is part of the immune system and the adenoids, spleen, tonsils and thymus and are part of the lymphatic system.  The lymphatic system has no pump like the heart and relies on movement, exercise and jumping around to get the lymph fluid circulating.  Therefore, movement is key to an excellent immune system and massage can assist in bringing this about too.  A lymphatic drainage massage is one where the therapist moves and activates the circulation of lymph in the armpits, groin, neck and the chest and abdomen.  It is essentially a gentle massage and can help decrease the intensity and duration of colds, flues, and other acute or chronic conditions attributed to a sluggish immune system.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage - Sports and Remedial in London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Harrow Massage and Insomnia (London)

Insomnia has links to elevated stress levels where the fight or flight system is ready and can be triggered by the slightest of stimuli.  To not be able to sleep cripples people's ability to function in life and leaves the body and mind vulnerable to disease.  To massage tense and overworked muscles and lengthen tissue releases tension and allows the body to heal, relax and eliminate toxins.  One technique I use is the CV4 and involves palpating the mid area of the neck (CV4) and results in the discharging of cerebrospinal fluid that then leads to a relaxed state.  There are other techniques, and it is up to the client and therapist to define a treatment plan that works.  From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapist in Harrow, London.  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Massage reduces anxiety in Harrow, London

An understanding of anxiety conjures images of anything from an acute attack to a prolonged state of inner hurt and of a multitude of psychological complexities that only cause pain and suffering for the individual.  How massage deals with anxiety is through allowing the body to relax, to tune out, to feel safe...  We know that if we are exposed to harsh images, sounds or films we become momentarily anxious through empathy or sympathy.  The milieu of calm and relaxation and healing has I believe and this is backed by evidence, a powerful and measurable effect.  I have seen clients leave with a visible renewed sense of wellness, relaxation and calm both in body and mind.  From Harrow Massage Therapy, Remedial and Sports Massage in Harrow, London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Whiplash and Harrow Massage Therapy, London

Whiplash is a neck injury resulting from being forcibly thrust backward and resulting in muscle tear and vertebrae injury.  My treatment is to loosen the erector spinae group and work up from there to the rhomboid muscles.  I loosen these areas using a variety of techniques and pressures.  I then work to address the soft tissue around the neck and use deeper tissue manipulation.  A course of treatments is needed to bring relief to the person suffering from the condition.  From Harrow Massage Therapy, Harrow Massage Sports & Remedial  www.harrowmassagetherapy.com

Harrow Massage Therapy - Sports and Remedial Water Filters

Berkey Water Filters are truly amazing.  I bought one in April 2013 and found the taste, texture and smell exceedingly pure.  I learned that you can put dye in the filter and it would filter it completely.  Most importantly, I purchased the heavy metal and fluoride filter, so I can access pure water without heavy metals, fluoride, chemical residue from pharmaceuticals and industry.  Why pure water is very important is without it, we do not properly hydrate properly and the effects are catastrophic and well known.  Massage in Harrow recommends pure water to its clients and the Berkey Water Filter is the best I could find.  From Harrow Massage Therapy (Sports & Remedial) Harrow, London  

Harrow Massage - Remedial & Sports - A remedial or sports massage in Harrow offers you the possibility of releasing tension from muscles that originated through injury, overuse or poor posture and nutrition.  The remedy is always to approach the issue through an assessment of the causes and history and then to apply an initial light massage to relax the area.  I then attempt to find ways the muscle may possibly relax by stretching, adding friction lengthways and along the body of the muscle.  I apply pressure to then feel the muscle twitch out of tension and end with a light massage again.  The benefits are accumulative and it is necessary to back up the treatment with stretching, exercise and follow up massages.  My clients do gain through one massage but it must be part of a commitment from the client to be an active participant in their healing process, so I advise them to research diet, water intake and general mental and emotional stressors in their life.  From Kasem, Massage Therapy in Harrow, London http://harrowmassagetherapy.com/

Harrow Massage Recommends MSM

Swanson MSM Powder (454g)

As a massage therapist, I recommend MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane) as it helps to address sulphur deficiencies which may lead to poor health.  Supplementing MSM aids in helping to combat inflammatory conditions such as asthma, psoriasis, arthritis, and other related conditions.  MSM is plentiful in organically grown food and the plant needs contact with rain to have a good amount of organic natural sulphur.  From Harrow Massage Therapist, Sports and Remedial Massage in Harrow, London.  

Harrow Massage and Health in London UK

A sports massage is by definition a specialised massage for an athlete. As the massage therapist, I ask questions relating to what type of sport, what pain or discomfort is felt, if there is or was an injury, and to give me feedback if the pressure is too intense or if they prefer a deep tissue massage. No single massage technique works for everyone, but for the athletic, it is paramount that the massage increases their athletic performance and recovery.
The essence of the massage treatment is prioritising what areas I should focus on whilst relieving strain and stress from those areas. My approach is to give a sense of relaxation, focus on a trouble area and then to sense when to move on as to over massage tends to undo any good work done. At the end of the treatment, I ask questions regarding diet and recommend the client to take a high potency fish oil, filtered water, natural multi-mineral, and to minimise foods that rob the body of health and potency.

Coconut Oil

A massage is part of an all round health plan.  Having an occasional massage is incongruous with an unhealthy life and associated health destroying habits.  One product I use that is commensurate with a healthy life is coconut oil.  In the drying conditions of winter I have experience an imperviousness in regard to dry lips and skin in general.  Coconut oil is best when it is ingested and applied topically.  There are numerous health benefits and you can read on here:  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/18/coconut-oil-uses.aspx
