Michael O'Neill Massage Therapy & Reflexology

General information

I provide sports massage, deep tissue massage, holistic massage therapy & reflexology from my clinic in Dover.

You may seek massage therapy or reflexology to help you relax and unwind, but you may also seek a massage therapist or reflexologist for deeper work, such as help with pain or pain management, or for a specific problem, injury or health condition.

If you are experiencing conditions such as lower back pain, tight and aching shoulders, a stiff neck, repetitive strain injuries or many other conditions that are causing you unease and wearing you down, then please feel free to contact me so that we may discuss how I may be able to help you.

Deep Tissue Massage relieves severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissues. It works on the second and deeper layers of muscles and is a deeper, more focussed treatment.

When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement and inflammation.

I also advise you on stretches and strengthening exercise and asses your posture to help bring you back into optimal alignment.

Sports and deep tissue massage is not just for Sports people but for everyone that may have experienced pain of some kind through postural problems, injury or emotional stress.

Reflexology works on the theory that there are micro-systems on the feet and hands that represent a specific organ, muscle or skeletal part of our bodies. By massaging specific points on the feet or hands, we can bring balance to corresponding parts of the body. I look for areas of sensitivity or deposits on the feet or hands that indicate potential weaknesses and causes of problems. By working on these areas reflexology encourages the body to work naturally to recover and maintain its own natural healthy balance leaving us feeling more energized and relaxed.i believe it is one of the most effective hands on therapies.
