Sion Therapies – Massage Therapy in Clifton Village

Easing you out of pain and into relaxation

Massage Therapy in Clifton, Bristol

Welcome to Sion Therapies

My name is Lizzy, based in Clifton, Bristol, I am a fully qualified and insured Massage Practitioner.

With Holistic massage as my initial training basis, I offer deep tissue and therapeutic massage, focusing on muscle, soft tissue and bodywork with the aim to relieve people of pain and stress.

Pain is a complex issue with many contributing factors which often increases the levels of pain someone feels. Chronic pain conditions often stem from "an issue within the tissue" but with the BioPsychoSocial Model to think about, we cannot just think of the physical body.

However, with the use of myofascial release and trigger point release therapy, combined with massage and the overall benefits of relaxation, these pain conditions can be greatly reduced and alleviated over a series of treatments.

I am also trained and insured in pregnancy massage which I practice from my treatment room.

Pregnancy massage is of huge benefit to both mother and baby throughout each trimester. As well as helping to ease aching muscles and joints, massage also helps to balance the hormones and any stress levels, beneficial for both mother and baby.

As a mobile therapist I offer On-Site Seated Massage to businesses and their employees. Benefits are both to the employee and employer!

About Me

I initially trained in 2009 in Swedish Holistic Massage and went on to work at The Lido, Bristol.

Over the years, learning new approaches and gaining more skills, knowledge and techniques has retained and grown my passion for massage as an essential part of life and health.

Having started my own successful practice, working from my treatment room, at home in Clifton, Bristol, I am now based both at home and at The Practice Rooms in Clifton Village, Bristol.

I offer muscle and bodywork, treating the body as a whole, integrating Deep Tissue techniques, Myofascial Release and Trigger Point therapy when needed in order to relieve people of pain conditions or equally to help to relax and de-stress the body.

I am continually feeding my passion for massage and adding to my knowledge and skills, training with the world reknowned teachers Rachel Fairweather and Meghan Mari of the Jing Advanced Massage Training Institute in Brighton.

Deep Therapeutic Massage

Clifton, Bristol

Massage of any form is a truly important and, should be, an integral part of our lives.

Whether we are stressed in mind or body, appropriate human touch is a great healer.

Due to busy schedules and tight budgets, massage is often seen as a luxury, an annual "treat". We carry so much daily stress and tension in our bodies and minds which eventually manifests itself in some kind of injury. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal themselves but can only cope with so much.

Working within the realms of "deep tissue", I am a firm believer that a massage should never be a painful experience so working slowly and deeply and with a good line of communication is key to getting to the root of people's pain.

Massage not only eases the stresses and strains put on the fascia and muscles but calms the nervous system thus easing both the mind and the body and bringing it back to a state of homeostasis - a place where we all should be.

My Therapies

The Jing Method

Taught by Rachel Fairweather and Meghan Mari at Jing Advanced Massage Training in Brighton, I use The Jing Method to treat many chronic pain issues. This includes using Myofascial Release Techniques,

Trigger Point work on the muscles, stretching and mobilisations and encouraging the self care techniques all of which, over a series of treatments, help a number of chronic pain conditions including shoulder girdle pain such as Rotator Cuff injuries, lower back pain, sciatica, Neck pain and headaches, hip pain, knee/lower leg and foot pain/achillies tendonitis, RSI and other forearm pain conditions.

Pregnancy Massage

I am trained and insured in Pregnancy Massage which I feel is always an honour.

The benefits for mother and baby are huge, not only to ease the aches and pains which often occur during pregnancy but to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and symptoms of depression.

Massage can help to balance out the hormones, increasing dopamine and seratonin levels and reducing stress hormones such as cortisol which can then help during child birth.

Seated Chair Massage

I also offer On-Site Seated Chair Massage to businesses and their employees. I have a fully adaptable ergonomic chair which I bring to your place of work.

The treatment is carried out through clothes so no oil is needed and is usually 15 minutes in length.
