Sally Lake Therapies

about me...

I have been a professional massage therapist since 2004.

I originally trained, worked and built my business in London before relocating to Cornwall in 2009.

Currently, I work at The Blue Lotus Therapy Centre in Scorrier, Redruth, The Attic Cellar Treatment Rooms in St Ives and West Cornwall Massage in Camborne.

I also massage at various local businesses and events and offer mobile visits in Redruth and the surrounding areas.
 

Whilst many of my clients come to me because I do not do 'airy-fairy' massage, I do not inflict excruciating pain either. I provide strong pressure if necessary/desired and employ many levels of pressure during treatment.

Recent studies in manual therapy show that intense pain stimulates the nervous system to tense muscles and is not a 'means to an end' when it comes to treatment.

Whether you prefer deeper or lighter pressure it is essential to work within (pain) tolerance levels so the nervous system remains in a state of relaxation and treatment can be effective to release tension and ease pain.

I encourage honest feedback from clients during treatment and check my pressure to ensure clients are comfortable.

I have undertaken specific training in pregnancy massage and hold an APNT Diploma in Pregnancy Massage.

Pregnancy massage is COMPLETELY SAFE! 

Over the years I have confidently treated many women (throughout all trimesters), who have found it wonderfully relaxing and beneficial..

I often continue post-natal treatment, providing relief as new mums adapt to the physical changes caused by breast-feeding, lack of sleep and carrying babies.
