Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage is a wonderful type of massage that can be experienced safely and happily throughout pregnancy. It utilises massage techniques along with acupressure, reflexology and yoga methods to help the body and mind relax and improve the natural flow of energy. This helps to remove blockages and allow a free flow of energy which places the body back into balance thereby improving health and healing.

Thai Pregnancy massage can be performed with the mother lying on her side which is very comfortable especially during the later months of pregnancy. Changes in body shape and increased weight often causes postural imbalances during pregnancy. This leads to backache, calf and leg pain and tension in the shoulders. Pregnancy thai massage is very effective in releasing tension in the back and calf muscles and improving general body alignment and posture. It is relaxing and at the same time energising

Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage can help reduce water retention, especially around the feet and ankles and improves the blood circulation. It can also safely support the inducement of an overdue baby.

Thai yoga massage is great at relieving the lower back of all those aches and pains associated with the weight of carrying the little one(s) and is very effective at relieving sciatica and leg tension. At the end of the massage a serene sense of calm and and yet revitalisation are shared by both mother and baby.

Are you training for a Spring Event? Playing sport? Training regularly? Sitting in front of a computer all day? Carrying small children all day?

As a Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist I look after a wide variety of patients. From regular exercisers, to marathon runners, Iron-Men and Women, tri-athletes and people participating in everyday activities and sports. I treat their injuries and niggles through Deep Tissue Massage, Myo-fascial massage, Acupuncture, exercises and through Strapping and Taping.

Strapping and Taping is the direct application of elastic and non-elastic tape to support a joint or muscle group, to limit its range of motion, thereby reducing pain, inflammation and promoting healing.

The most common exercise related injuries needing strapping are sprained and strained ankles, knees, wrists and shoulders. Strapping an area allows you to function pain free and gets you back to full fitness more efficiently.

It is not only exercise or sports people involved:  more recently I have been applying strapping to backs and shoulders to help with computer based injuries and aches. This postural correction technique not only relieves the strained muscles of the upper back and neck, but limits the movement of the shoulder blades and shoulders, keeping your back straight and supported.

So in short: Strapping and Taping can help with:

• Sprains and Strains
• Muscle Pain
• Joint Stabilisation
• Postural Correction

Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient healing system of Ayuverda.

The aim of Indian head Massage is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscle and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders. These areas are massaged using firm yet gentle rhythmic movements that involve acupressure points called Marma points. The experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving you feeling energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate

As well as easing headaches and stress, the conditions it can help are many:

- Relief from the pain and stiffness in the muscle of the face, neck and shoulders  resulting in an increase mobility around face, neck and shoulders

-  Relief from tension headaches, eyestrain, nasal congestions, apathy and mild depression

-  Improve creativity, clarity of mind and powers of concentration

-  An increase in blood circulation and a reduction in the possibility of developing arthritis in the neck and shoulders

-  Improves the efficiency of the lymphatic system and strengthens the immune system

Touch is the most instinctive response to pain. It is an essential requirement for healthy development in early life and so too as we age, it provides nourishment on all levels.

Therapeutic massage focuses on problem areas and is often deeper than relaxing massage. It can be a full body massage including face, scalp and abdomen, or tailored to the areas that need most work: often the neck, back and shoulders.

My aim is always to make the treatment as relaxing and stress relieving as possible, so we only ever work slowly and gently up to your pain threshold, not beyond it.

Nerve endings on the skin, connective tissue and muscle surfaces respond to therapeutic touch, which in turn has a beneficial effect on internal organs and systems. In this way massage can help to switch off the production of stress hormones, allowing the adrenal glands to rest and for repair and tissue regeneration to occur. The end result is that the body begins to properly rest and your energy levels will be noticeably improved.

I recommend:
Avoiding large or heavy meals prior to treatments
Arrange your schedule to allow you as much rest time as possible after treatments
Drink plenty of water after treatments to assist in the removal of mobilised toxins

Thai Yoga Massage works to stimulate, open and balance the flow of energy through the Sen lines to assist the body in its natural tendency towards self healing. The massage works by using rhythmic manipulation, passive stretches, mobilization of joints and applied yoga. Thai yoga massage is practised on the floor and you will need to wear loose, comfortable clothing. This form of massage is highly beneficial particularly for anyone suffering from circulatory problems, lack of joint mobility, muscular stiffness and stress.

It is offered by Adriana Pop on Saturdays

Sports massage therapy helps alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues as a result of physical activity.

Where minor injuries or lesions occur, due to overexertion / overuse, massage can break them down. Above all, it can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement whatever you level of involvement in sport.

Anyone can benefit from sports massage, such as people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious occupational, emotional and postural stresses that affect us all. It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu and tends to be deeper and more intense. The skilled therapist brings together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with the client to bring about optimum performance and to provide injury free training and minimise post event injuries.

Adriana is a Registered Reflexologist, Acupressure Therapist, Indian Head Massage Therapist and Thai Yoga Massage Therapist. She has worked as a holistic health practitioner for 8 years with therapeutic experience in various environments, from Central London clinics as: Relax in Picadilly Circus; Reflexions in Chelsea and Bayswater; Panakeia in Sloane Square, to different offices as theWarner Brother Studio, McCann Erickson, Bell Pottinger, Lewis SilkIn, Defra, Greenlight Research, IPG, Momentum, KBH Media.

After gaining a Master’s Degree in Molecular Biology and working as a teacher and biology researcher for four years, in her mid twenties Adriana was first introduced to the Complementary Medicine way of thinking. She then decided to approach life from a different perspective, a more humanistic one. This, combined with a strong will to join the alternative healthcare field, led her to Peterson School of Reflexology, where she studied Reflexology for two years. From then on, her training uniquely blended Western and Eastern medicine and included extensive hands-on teaching. She then continued with courses in various kinds of massage, starting with the pressure points (Touch Pro), then the Indian head massage and with the Thai yoga massage (Howard Evans Therapy). Through each one of these types of massage Adriana has learnt different knowledge in working with the body, in opening, freeing and balancing the body’s channels of energy and life.
At the moment she is running an on-site-massage company called Acupress, as well as working at the Chelsea Natural Health Clinic. Her hands-on technique tends to be firm, but she is happy to adjust to the client’s requirements, or in-the-moment needs of each session. Adriana’s professional approach is one of openness, clarity and warmth. She has a passion for focussing on bodily experience and its process of regaining balance, relaxation, health and a safe and comfortable letting-go of the daily stresses and anxieties we encounter, also a passion for being in the present moment in therapy sessions. She has been a member of the London Complimentary Therapists Association since 2001 and works within their codes of conduct. The therapies she practices can alleviate and aid: stress, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, tinnitus, back problems, muscle tension…

CHAIR MASSAGE: is an effective form of massage, which is done through clothing, on a specially designed portable chair, which is quick and easy to set up. The treatment covers head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands and may be adapted to special needs. The advantage of this massage over the conventional massage is that leaves you feeling awake and alert to carry on with your daily activities yet totally relaxed and rejuvenated.

REFLEXOLOGY: works on acupressure points on feet and hands in order to stimulate the body’s own healing and balancing system.

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE: involves a gentle, soothing and rhythmical massage of the neck, shoulders, scalp and face helping to relieve headaches, eye strain and tension.

THAI YOGA MASSAGE: works to stimulate, open and balance the flow of energy through the Sen lines to assist the body in its natural tendency towards self healing. The massage works by using rhythmic manipulation, passive stretches, mobilization of joints and applied yoga.
