When our minds are racing and our bodies are stressed to breaking point, there is no better way to wind down than a beautiful relaxing massage. Kathryn Hodgson uses her expert fingers to induce tranquility and well-being and to restore the body to balance, health and wellness. The regenerative power of massage therapy deserves recognition in our fast-paced society.
Kathryn Hodgson, a Registered Massage Therapist in Brentwood Bay, takes a very holistic approach to her clients. “I am truly passionate about helping people to enjoy their lives as much as possible.” Kathryn eloquently demystifies the regenerative power of a tender massage: “With massage therapy, I have the amazing opportunity to assist my patients find relief from pain and/or improve their bodies’ functioning. In doing so, my patients can get back to enjoying their days and doing the things they love to do. It’s just wonderful to see my patients smile from the inside out and to know that they are living optimally.”
The benefits of massage therapy are physical and psychological. Kathryn uses her skilled techniques to alleviate the discomfort of sore, tight, or strained muscles. But her concerned and compassionate care helps clients feel calmer and happier, enhancing their mental health. She values the time spent focusing on their individual needs and “treating that person with the attention and care they deserve.” The wide umbrella of Kathryn’s professional services provides relief for many different ailments. “The benefits of massage therapy extend far beyond the muscular system. Some of the lesser known health concerns for which massage therapy can be of great benefit are fibromyalgia, MS, Parkinson’s, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-mastectomy scar tissue,
post-joint replacement surgery. (And much more!)” Kathryn is also a ‘Dr. Vodder level 3 certified Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) Therapist and Combined Decongestive Therapist (CDT).’
The benefits of Kathryn’s warm touch go much deeper than just a relaxed muscle. Kathryn’s treatments calm and restore the body and mind, catalysing the body’s innate power to heal itself: “When our bodies are stressed, be it physically, mentally, or both … we then feel like we are in a perpetual fight or flight state. This state can result in a myriad of health concerns including high blood pressure, chronic pain, gastrointestinal issues, headaches, anxiety, depression, etc. Massage therapy can have a beautiful calming effect on the body and mind in that there are certain soothing techniques that specifically help to calm the sympathetic nervous system. When your system isn’t in overdrive, life can feel and be a lot happier!”
A major thrust of modern medicine is facilitating the body’s ability to heal and regenerate itself. Kathryn Hodgson’s massage treatments are the wave of the future.
