Menopause Massage
Supportive treatment for hot flashes, joint discomfort, sleep changes and stress
Around 13 million women in the UK are peri or post menopausal at any given time. Many experience symptoms such as heat intolerance, joint stiffness, disrupted sleep, muscle tension and emotional shifts.These changes are real, often underestimated and can affect day-to-day function.
This treatment is designed to support your body during this transition.It blends massage, gentle acupressure and slow, steady techniques to help ease physical discomfort and promote a calmer nervous system.
How This Treatment Helps
Hot flashes and temperature sensitivity
Massage can help lower cortisol by around thirty percent, which may support more stable temperature regulation(Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2021).Improved circulation and reduced muscular tension can also help your body manage fluctuations more comfortably.
Joint pain and muscle tightness
Around 60% of women report joint pain during menopause due to changes in collagen and inflammation.Targeted soft tissue work can ease stiffness, improve range of motion and support more comfortable movement (Arthritis Foundation, 2022).
Headaches and tension through the upper body
Hormonal shifts can make headaches more frequent.Focused massage to the neck, shoulders and scalp can reduce headache intensity by improving blood flow and easing muscular pressure (Cephalalgia, 2021).
Dry, itchy or sensitive skin
Lower estrogen levels can affect hydration and elasticity.Massage using nourishing oils can support moisture retention and improve skin comfort over time(Dermatology Research and Practice, 2020).
Sleep disruption and nervous system changes
Up to 60% of menopausal women report difficulty sleeping.Massage has been shown to support serotonin release, which plays a role in melatonin production and sleep regulation (Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2022).
Many clients report feeling calmer, clearer and more grounded after treatment.
