The Polyvagal Theory and Massage Therapy: An Holistic Approach to Healing

Massage therapy is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve overall wellbeing. Today, massage therapy is a widely accepted form of complementary and alternative medicine, with many different techniques and approaches available to suit the needs of individual clients. The Polyvagal Theory provides a unique perspective on massage therapy, highlighting the importance of the nervous system and how it can be regulated to promote healing and connection.

The Polyvagal Theory proposes that the nervous system has three distinct states: the ventral vagal state, the sympathetic state, and the dorsal vagal state. Each state is associated with a specific set of physiological responses and behavioural outcomes. For massage therapists, understanding these different states is crucial for creating a safe and healing space for their clients.

Massage for Recovery after Hysterectomy and Oophorectomy: What Does the Evidence Say?

Hysterectomy and oophorectomy are common surgical procedures that involve removing the uterus and ovaries respectively. These surgeries can be necessary for various reasons, such as cancer treatment or managing certain conditions. While they can be life-saving procedures, they can also have significant physical and emotional impacts on the person undergoing them.

One potential way to support recovery after hysterectomy or oophorectomy is through massage and other manual therapies. These therapies can help reduce pain, swelling, and muscle tension, as well as promote relaxation and improve overall well-being.

How Womb and Sacral Massage Can Help with Endometriosis

If you're one of the millions of people living with endometriosis, you know that the pain and discomfort can be overwhelming.

One treatment that has gained popularity in recent years is womb and sacral/abdominal sacral/fertility massage.

    Nyssa Craig

    Hi friend, thanks so much for hopping on over here for a wee squizz at my many musings!

    I'm Nyssa, a Brighton-based and Scottish-born massage therapist, placenta remedies specialist, birth support worker (full-spectrum doula), and fertility specialist.
    ​
    I specialise in providing services to those often underserved by existing practitioners - particularly those who have felt excluded from mainstream service providers for ANY reason, such as weight, sexuality, gender identity, disability, neuroatypical processing, et cetera.
    This blog is somewhere you can find my rants on all the above topics (and so much more - love a good rant, me!), as well as more information on my areas of specialism, given the frequent lack of discussion thereon.

    So have a browse, and drop me a comment to let me know your own thoughts!
