Katherine Ranson
Katherine has studied to university degree level as a teacher in Primary Education. Although she has dedicated much of her time to the education and care of young children, she has also followed her passion in massage therapy on a part time basis for the last 5 years.
She has studied Anatomy and Physiology to BTEC level 4, having achieved her Sports Massage Diploma earlier on this year.
Katherine has been treating clients on a part time basis at Neal’s Yard Therapy Rooms in Covent Garden for the past 3 years. There she has gained a wealth of experience and knowledge from treating a varied client base; dancers, bodybuilders, students, city bankers, busy mums and the retired.
The treatment offered will be tailor made with an initial postural assessment. Sports massage is not only for athletes or those requiring therapy after a soft tissue injury, but for those people seeking relief from muscular tension or requiring massage for the maintenance of healthy muscles. As well as incorporating general Swedish Holistic and specific sports techniques to help relieve the client of any muscular tension or to work through any scar tissue, Katherine will also work on the body’s connective tissue or ‘fascia’. When fascia is healthy, it will move freely with the body. However, after injury, illness or prolonged lack of movement, the fascia can become hardened and stick to surrounding structures. This can cause pain, a reduction in the range of motion of an affected joint. Hardening fascia can accentuate poor postural patterns.
At the end of the session, Katherine will discuss the possible need for any future treatments and offer specific home care advice.
Fees
All sessions are of 1 hours duration. Cost, £70 per session.
