The last weekend in August marked the final week working with the amazing Volvo campaign that has been travelling the country, ‘Escape The City’. Featuring the new Volvo XC60 on the stand, alongside Sense therapists, the campaign invited city-goers to take a break from their busy day and step inside the wooden escape shack to enjoy a ten-minute Swedish massage, or join an instructor-led meditation or yoga class.

At Sense Massage Therapy, we have therapists that specialise in a range of different massage and we thought it would be great to demonstrate some of the many other ways massage can benefit the body outside of the office. 

One type of massage that can be extremely beneficial, and is well known for its benefits for healing focusses on stimulating the lymphatic system.  

When our body works the way it’s supposed to, we won’t ever notice our lymphatic system; until it encounters problems, many of us may never even know what it is.

This year Sense is supporting BackCare.org.uk in raising awareness of an important health issue.

This year’s Back Care Awareness Week will be w/c 2nd October. The theme is “Back Care in Education”. BackCare have secured KidsBacks4theFuture as a partner and will be distributing packs to educational establishments throughout the UK to encourage children and young people to look after their backs.

The first step to good back care is to be aware of yourself. 

We recently provided seated massage at a beautiful wedding at Keythorpe Manor in Leicester, where the happy couple hired our therapists to pamper guests throughout the day. Guests were also treated to ice cream from the adorable Living the Cream stall, and a caravan photo booth filled with fun props from Quirky Photo Booths – it certainly was a packed event!

The lovely day was made even more so by the weather, but each activity really brought something to the event making it that much more special. 

When it comes to stress, lots of people may immediately think of massage as a great way to unwind and release that tension.
