Massage & Movement Therapy
Time Out Massage and Movement is a home-based treatment room in Sittingbourne, where each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I use a variety of techniques that can increase flexibility, improve mobility, aid in recovery, or reduce pain. My passion lies in finding what works best for you as an individual.
Whether you're dealing with an injury, managing a medical condition, or simply looking to de-stress, I'm here to help. I offer a free, no-obligation telephone consultation.
Special Interests
I have a clinical interest in shoulder issues. So whether you have a rotator cuff injury, bicep tendonitis, frozen shoulder, arthritis or persistent shoulder pain, I’m here to help.
I also have a strong desire to help people with chronic pain that has lasted 3 months or more. Even if you have tried other interventions let's chat and see how I may be able to help you.
I have completed some additional learning about hypermobility syndromes and the most effective ways to treat with manual therapy.
Your initial consultation
Your journey with me begins with this initial consultation which may last a bit longer than the standard 60 minutes so do allow a little extra time. We will go over your relevant medical history, discuss your goals and clarify your expectations. This session may include a combination of conversation and hands-on. My priority is for you to feel heard and for me to try and fully understand any musculoskeletal issues you are experiencing.
I firmly believe sports massage should NOT be a "no-pain, no-gain" experience. Instead, it should be specific, tailored and focused on your progress. If that's not what you are looking for, I'm probably not the right fit for you
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Pain is 100% created by the brain and nervous system – a fact that doesn’t diminish its reality or impact. That does NOT mean that pain is in your head.
IT IS REAL AND IT HURTS!
It’s just that the brain that makes the pain is in the head – human geography.
Chronic pain, lasting over 3 months, can influence every aspect of your life.
WHAT IF I COULD TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON THAT PAIN?
I have had success with a new hands-off treatment that uses neurological visual and vestibular systems (inner ear)
This has even been effective for pain persisting for decades that I am so excited to continue and develop.
This non-invasive method is also a great option for those hesitant about massage.
Let’s try and calm your nervous system first, then focus on rebuilding.
Whilst this treatment won’t cure conditions like arthritis , it may significantly reduce pain and help you return to activities you love.
I’d love to discuss how this approach could benefit you.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Some medical conditions can benefit from massage therapy, while others may restrict or prevent it. Please check the list on my booking link. If you’re unsure, let’s discuss your concerns before you book.
SERVICES
KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE...
I offer a 60-minute treatment session customised to your needs at a straightforward price.
Your first visit will be a little longer as I’ll have you fill out a form, we’ll discuss your history and perform some basic movement tests. I want to understand your unique situation. Just select the "NEW" or "EXISTING" client button on my Setmore booking page below and it will give you my availability for the next 2 weeks.
Depending on your preferences and goals, I may use a variety of techniques including sports, Swedish or deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques, myofascial release, cupping, hot stones, taping, vibration therapy, mobilisations, nerve glides and trigger point therapy, visual and vestibular techniques.
I look forward to meeting you. Helen x
