Try a Foot Treatment, especially if you wear steel capped work boots. The feet frequently are the X-factor in back pain. It is very difficult to find therapists who are qualified to do a proper evidence based muscular calf and foot treatment. (not painful sweat shop reflexology!) Book Now
Try a Shoulder Treatment if you do a lot of overhead arm work or heavy lifting. Key muscles here are the pectoralis major subscapularis and the subclavius, including the arms and the hand, assisting in common elbow issues like lateral and medial epicondylalgia, (aka Golfers and Tennis Elbow), frozen shoulder and rotator cuff muscles. Book Now
Try a Lower Back Treatment especially if you are in heavy manual labour or professional sports. Lower back muscles are key to your whole body function, for example up to 5% extra inspiration power can come from the frequently hypertonic deepest core muscle, the Quadratus Lumborum (QL). It hangs off the 12th rib, not only is the QL a key culprit in back pain, it also is an antagonist to the diaphragm and the Hip Flexors. It sits so deep, that you need strong hands and an expert proprioceptive understanding of anatomy to reach it. Book Now
The Head/Face Treatment is perfect for headaches, boosting circulation to the 19 key head and neck muscles. The major head flexor muscle is the SCM (sternocleidomastoid) and it is a major contributor of headaches, it is in fact a neck muscle!
The face muscles are very unique in that they insert into skin or other muscles, not bones. Also, found here is the thinnest muscle in the human body, the Platysma, which tends to sag with age. Keep your head, face and neck muscles healthy. Raymond also trained in face massage in Copenhagen. Book Now
Adolphus Full/Part Body, is very popular with elite sports clients, it is a unique combination of Stretch and Massage. The focus is on superficial and deep muscles of mastication, muscles of the neck and head, trunk, intercostals, abdominals, scapula, arm, hand, feet, wrist, glutes and legs.
Many of these muscles are seldom covered by your “garden variety” full body stretch and massage treatments. These treatments are best taken as a series to build upon, and are especially suitable for those looking for that little extra performance enhancement for sport or work. Book Now
Adolphus Bodyworks treatments are personalised within the four elements of Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type (FITT) in order to deliver better outcomes with lower cost. If you take regular treatments, your daily performance will continuously improve. You are welcome to take once off treatments. Book Now
