Welcome to Massage By Alex
Massage is the oldest form of physical medicine known to man and can be traced back to the early Chinese medical manuscripts around 400BC. Massage was advocated by Hippocrates who was born in the fifth century and was known as 'the father of medicine'. It was widely used and written of in Roman times with history recording how Julius Caesar received massage to relieve neuralgia!
Now days, in addition to "rubbing," massage therapy, often referred to as bodywork or somatic therapy, refers to the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the body that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, vibration, rocking, friction, kneading and compression using primarily the hands, although massage therapists do use other areas of the body, such as the forearms, elbows or feet. All of the techniques are used for the benefit of the musculoskeletal, circulatory-lymphatic, nervous, and other systems of the body. In fact, massage therapy positively influences overall health and well-being.
Today, massage therapy is one of the fastest growing forces in the field of health and wellbeing.

About Me
Hi there, thank you for visiting my site. I’m Alex and I’m from Transylvania . Probably you are interested in whether I am a vampire and secondly what made me to choose this profession. Well I am definitely not a vampire and I wasn’t always a massage therapist. I used to work in an office as a head Clerk and I wanted to become an economist. A bit of a change eh? Anyway, while I was working in the office I constantly had aching shoulders and back problems, despite being an active person. I’ve tried many therapists but to be honest it was really hard to find someone who really helped relieve my discomfort. Either it was too gentle or too strong making me feel sore and uncomfortable. Have you ever had a massage like that?
If I look back in time, massage has always been part of my life. When I was a child my father in the evenings always asked me to rub his back. It was a really a lot of fun for me. Then I continued with my friends but still didn’t think about becoming a massage therapist until a few friends advised me to go to a proper school and learn more. So, seven years ago I first joined my first school and I have never looked back since. I finished the Therapeutic massage school and then I qualified in foot reflexology. I then couldn’t wait to learn more and more massage techniques. I went on to finish the ‘La Stone Therapy’ (hot stone massage), slimming treatments and countless others.
For me giving massage is not just a job, it’s a profession and my hobby as well. I believe this is the key to my success. In the last seven years I have always strived for the best results with every client I work with. I enjoy teaching massage to students whenever I can because they will be our therapists in the future. I give time to this whenever I can. After spending a year working as a masseur in a 5 star spa in Cyprus I decided to come to the UK to improve my English. I am now based in Nottingham and I like it so much I want to stay.
After spending time studying and practicing different techniques, I realised that a combination of techniques is often what clients get the most benefit from. This means that my clients can see better results from their investment in a good massage. If you are still reading it means that you are not bored yet and might even be considering having a massage from me. If so, why not pick up the phone and book an appointment? I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
