Reflexology
Reflexology at Healing Hands targets specific pressure points on the feet corresponding to body systems. This non-invasive treatment promotes circulation, reduces stress, and addresses conditions like digestive issues and fertility concerns. Marise's dual expertise in sports therapy enhances treatment effectiveness for musculoskeletal problems. Sessions provide holistic benefits through precise manual techniques without oils or lotions.
Sports Therapy
Our sports therapy combines deep tissue massage with injury rehabilitation techniques. As official therapist for Braintree Rugby Club, Marise specialises in treating sports-related injuries and muscular imbalances. Treatments focus on improving mobility, accelerating recovery, and preventing future injuries through targeted soft tissue manipulation and functional assessment.

Report
I had lower back pain off and on for at least 2 years. After a gym session it became unbearable. I tried physio and massages with no luck. I went to see marise and she located the problem straight away. After a few stretches and a satisfying "crack" it was fixed and has been fine ever since ! Really impressed , she is definitely an expert.
