We are very excited to introduce our newest member to the team!
Valerie Gildea is a dedicated and compassionate Sports Massage/ Pain Relief Therapist, focused on helping individuals achieve optimal performance and recovery. Her Canadian training qualified her in sports and deep tissue massage. Valerie qualified in 2017 and went on to run her own very successful sports therapy clinic in Canada.
A pain relief massage is particularly effective at helping to recover from long term conditions, such as frozen shoulder, chronic back pain, and tendinitis. The goal is to achieve recovery from a chronic condition, improve tissue quality, decreased pain and overall wellbeing. Additionally, clients will have better joint mobility, improved blood flow and better sleep. Deep tissue work along with myofascial and stretch therapies are specifically used to address restrictions and improve tight muscles.
To manage expectations, clients need to be aware a session is not meant to be soft and pleasurable and depending on the condition can be quite intrusive and painful. However, this will always be within the level of a client’s tolerance. You will leave feeling loose and restored but possibly a little sore and drained. This is totally normal and expected.
Back home in the UK and looking forward to running her sports massage clinic from the Elysium. Valerie will also be offering ‘Spa’ massage and once her training has been completed she will be adding other ‘Spa’ treatments to her list.
Valerie will be available on Saturday’s and Wednesday evenings and you will be able to book with her online from September 20th.
