Alice Foster
Sports and Remedial massage and Pilates.
Alice has been a qualified Pilates instructor and Level 3 Sports and Remedial massage therapist since 2008. She has also trained in Hot Stone massage, which she finds can be an extremely useful addition to deep tissue work.
She is fully insured. Alice uses deep tissue massage (and hot stones if her patients would like) to release knots from stressed and overworked muscles, and to alleviate joint and muscle pain. Deep tissue massage techniques can promote faster healing by increasing blood flow through the tissues and reducing inflammation. It can also be helpful in the rehabilitation of injured muscles, making movement easier.
Pilates is a passion for Alice, having used it in her own life. She found it especially good for rebuilding her pelvic floor and core strength following the births of her 2 children. She now brings her enthusiastic and friendly approach to helping people improve their mobility and strength.
She particularly enjoys working with post-natal mums, to help them retrain their pelvic floor and core strength and stability. This same kind of work can also be hugely beneficial for older people. Pilates can also help to relieve tension in the body, and promotes mobility, flexibillity and strength in all the major muscle groups. It also improves posture by focusing on the deep core muscles. Pilates promotes mindfulness and body awareness that can keep us active and safe in our everyday lives!
