Relaxation Massage
Is a gentle, flowing massage. It works the top layers of muscles and induces deep relaxation. It is very therapeutic for sufferers of stress.
Pregnancy Massage
Reduces stress and promotes relaxation, relieves muscle cramps and general aches and pains. It also reduces swelling in the legs.( Massage during pregnancy should be avoided by women with placental dysfunctions, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, toxaemia or threatened miscarriage)
Deep Tissue Massage
Focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas. It focuses more on specific areas and may cause some soreness during or after the massage, however you should feel better than ever in a day or two. It is both corrective and therapeutic.
Sports/Remedial Massage
Is good for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system. It encourages the body to heal and repair any injuries sustained. Muscle flexibility and range of movement is improved. It aids in the prevention of sports injuries. It can be quite vigourous and can cause discomfort initially. ( It should be avoided if you have muscle tears, sprained ligaments, varicous veins, phlebitis, thrombosis, cancer, tumours , haemophilia, diabetes or, osteoporosis)
Massage for the Elderly
Gentle massage can be used to soothe conditions such as muscle stiffness and soreness, loss of flexibility, arthritis, tendonitis and high blood pressure. It also provides a sense of nurturing that comes from being gently and respectfully touched. Very frail or modest clients can benefit just as much from a foot, hand or face massage. (elderly clients with cardiovascular disease, arthritis, epilepsy, diabetes or any form of cancer should have a chat with their doctor first.)
Massages can also be tailored to your needs and requirements and can involve some or any of the above methods.

Before we begin, you will fill out a confidential health questionnaire to find out about your current state of health, and to discover which medications, if any, you are currently taking. I do this because there are certain conditions and or medications for which massage (or types of massage) are not appropriate, or for which I will need to first obtain permission from your primary health care provider.
You will need to undress but will keep your underwear on. You will always undress alone in the complete privacy of the massage therapy room, and during the massage you will be covered with a towel except for the part of the body that I am working on at the time.
The massage room is inviting and relaxing, with soft music and low lighting. These physical cues tell your body and mind to relax and unwind. The actual massage takes place on a special massage therapy table that is comfortably padded and made up with clean, fresh towels.
For massage I will use special oil that acts as a lubricant, it nourishes the skin and provides me with the ability to glide across muscles and tissues. Fragranced and unfragranced oil is available. The oils I use are organic and are very high quality.
The session begins with gentle contact to your body to accustom you to my touch. The massage always begins with light pressure and gradually becomes deeper as your tissues relax. I never work deeper than your comfort level.
Your job during the massage is to relax. Ask for anything that would make you feel more comfortable - the massage is entirely for you, not me. If you ever have questions about anything at all during a massage, please ask: I will be delighted to answer.
Massage feels great! You might be surprised that it doesn’t tickle. Most of us live and work in very busy worlds and are not used to tuning into our bodies. You might be mildly surprised to find out how much tension you hold in your body in what might seem unlikely places. Massage is a marvelous inward journey that brings you back together again, uniting your mind and your body into the perfect whole it was meant to be.
The length of massage is shown on the price guide. However for the first session the consultation can take up to half an hour, so for example, if you book in for a luxury full body you need to allow 2hrs of your time for the first session
Testimonials
"As part of my treatment for Stress and Anxiety it was recommended by my Hospital Consultant that I should have a regular massage.Judith found that almost all the muscles in my body were tense.The surface muscles responded quickly but it took a number of sessions before it was possible to get into the deep muscles.Judith has a full knowledge of the muscles in the body and can tell whether I have been for an extra long walk or hill-walking from the extra tension in specific muscles.I now attend once a fortnight for a full body massage in order to keep my muscles toned and to maintain my lower level of stress.
I unreservedly recommend Judith Griffiths as a competent Massage Therapist."
David Appleby, Morley
"I have had many massage treatments over the years at various venues, usually as a beauty treatment. I enjoyed them, but Judith takes massage to a new level. I have treatment for a sore shoulder and this takes place as part of a back massage. The treatment she gives is wonderful and leaves me feeling that I am able to use my shoulder much better. I usually visit Judith once a month. Although Judith works deeply to alleviate my problem, she never causes me discomfort. It sounds tacky to say it but I feel she has a healing touch. I have recommended her work to several friends and they have all enjoyed her treatment. Judith herself is welcoming and friendly and her treatment room is an oasis of calm."
Liz Firth, Ossett
"The very first time I had a massage was about 2 years ago. At the time I felt particularly stressed, so much so that I had problems with my health and difficulty sleeping.Although I was somewhat apprehensive at first, Judith was very friendly and instantly made me feel comfortable. Her approach was very professional, beginning with a consultation about my lifestyle, general health and any particular physical complaints I had. The massage itself was great, very relaxing and made me realise just how wound up I had become. Over the next few weeks I felt I became much less stressed and my feelings of general well being increased. Judith was able to explain some of the physical causes of my aches and pains and helped me to understand and avoid them.
A regular massage is now an essential part of my routine, which I would not be without."
Kieran MacCourt, Horbury
