FOR some of us pain comes and goes, but for others, pain killers are a part of the daily routine.

Severe or not, pain can be debilitating. After only a few days,the body does its best to avoid movement that causes pain – often limiting day-to-day life and resulting in compensatory problems.

The shoulders rise and hunch to take weight off lower body pain or they roll forward to protect a sore abdomen. Neck stiffness follows, often causing headaches. Range of motion reduces, allowing muscles to tighten further.

The primary pain source can often become a lesser symptom when overridden by sleepless nights. When the body doesn’t get rest – its most effective healing time – our whole well-being starts to dip.

Depression can also occur when things don’t seem to have an end in sight. Pain killers often can be ineffective as tension builds over and above the initial injury or condition and a cycle of pain is born.

Massage offers relief on a number of levels. Initially, an experienced massage therapist will prioritise providing some immediate symptom relief for your comfort. This promotes recovery in your body and helps you feel better in yourself.

The pain cycle can be broken and relief found by working in a balanced approach to alleviate present symptoms while also aiding the correction of underlying issues.

Using a combination of nurturing and restorative massage techniques, postural analysis and body mechanics, relaxation techniques and simple exercises for you to work with at home, Beth French has helped a variety of people break the pain cycle they found themselves in, with problems ranging from frozen shoulder, spondylitis, long-term migraines and sciatica to name a few.

If you are fed up with reaching for the pain pills, why nottry a fresh approach? It may be more straightforward than you think.

Primarily reducing pain and improving sleep will help make you feel better and can be noticed almost immediately.

Massage helps correct the soft tissue to increase and maintain mobility. Looking at how your body is coping and easing it back towards a better balance is not only possible, but can make positive changes.

Beth French is celebrating ten years with Marlborough House this year and offers appointments on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
