Claire

Hello, I’m Claire and what I’m really passionate about is sharing and offering alternatives to the “allopathic” approach to pain

(which means treating the symptoms of a problem with conventional means e.g. drugs that mask pain). My approach is truly HOLISTIC so if I feel I can help you with any of my treatments then I will, but if I think you may benefit from another approach or treatment I will always suggest it.

www.painreliefderbyshire.co.uk

My principal approach to addressing pain, and especially CHRONIC pain (the stuff you live with day after day such as fibromyalgia etc) is by using a gentle but really effective treatment called Myofascial Release Therapy. This addresses the body wide web of connective tissue in a way that recognises that injuries or problems in one part of the body will impact other parts, causing sometimes, strangely unrelated symptoms. PLUS the fascial system is also called the secondary nervous system and stores trauma both physical and mental, so grief, stress, and PTSD for example is stored in the fascia. Releasing the fascia therefore helps release these emotions, trauma, and physical restrictions.

I will also give you exercises or strategies to help you day to day to manage pain so you can be in the driving seat and manage your pain free life again.

Initial Myofascial Release sessions are 90 minutes so I can do a postural analysis and talk through your health questionnaire

Follow on sessions are approx 1 hour.

Treatments

Indian Head Massage

I also offer one hour sessions of Indian Head Massage. Ideal for anyone who would like a relaxing treatment, but one which can also address restrictions and pain in the head, neck, and shoulders specifically. Indian Head Massage includes a neck, upper back, and shoulders massage, manipulation of the scalp to promote blood flow to the hair follicles, and a facial massage with coconut oil to relax the face and jaw so good for people with TMJ problems. It really does help to balance the chakras and is super relaxing

£35 per treatment

Reflexology Treatments

Reflexology (massage of the feet, or hands) is a treatment one either loves or hates to be honest, so not for everyone as I am aware, however, the feet (and hands) reflect what is happening in the rest of the body. As a body-wide therapist I find this a really useful diagnostic tool so I can pick up on areas of tension that you don’t necessarily think to be a problem, but which may be causing issues elsewhere
If you DO like a relaxing foot massage, then irrespective of the other benefits pop over to the Siver Web for a good foot rub (with added benefits)

Workshops

Canine Massage Workshops

As well as being a qualified human Myofascial Release Therapist, I am also a Canine Massage Practitioner helping dogs who are in pain and / or struggling with injuries and orthopaedic problems.

You can learn more here https://www.theclinicalcaninetherapist.co.uk/

I am also licenced by the Canine Massage Therapy Centre to deliver approved one day workshops for dog owners. On these you can learn simple but effective massage techniques to help support your dog’s muscular system. Workshops are great for people who want to do some work with their dogs between clinical sessions with me, for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplaysia, dogs who have got muscular injuries commonly seen as lameness and limping etc.

These workshops are held at Brackenfield Village Hall DE55 6AN just 5 miles south of Clay Cross
Numbers strictly limited to 6 people and their dogs. The Beginner’s Guide is suitable for all dogs, the Pre and Post Event workshop is aimed at agility, sporting and working dogs, but is also great for older dogs who need a bit more support before and after exercise. No experience required for either. £90 for the day payable in advance to secure your place.

See https://www.theclinicalcaninetherapist.co.uk/canine-massage-workshops for details and booking.

Testimonials

“Claire has helped me tremendously with pelvic pain which I had not been able to get help with via other routes. Claire found that my leg, back and core muscles were locked tight after months of intense exercise and were causing the pain and discomfort. These are now letting go and I no longer need to take painkillers. Claire follows up between treatments to see how you are, advises on self care and is always available if you have questions. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough”

TT Sheffield

“The therapy helped to reduce the rigidity, caused by Parkinson’s disease”

RG Chesterfield

“Just to record how amazed I am by the relief I have gained from my chronic back pain as a result of Claire’s massage over the last few weeks. I have been having (MFR) pain relief plus reflexology plus Indian Head massage. All are delightful to have and the cumulative effect is tremendous. Claire is so kind and professional.
Would recommend her services wholeheartedly. 5 stars out of 5 !!! Thank you” 

PT Higham

“I recently underwent a series of reflexology treatments on my feet. From this Claire
was able to identify various problem areas on my body from back pain to ear trouble
(my eardrums perforated when I was quite young). The sessions were incredibly
enjoyable and extremely relaxing and I would recommend this treatment to anyone. I would definitely award her five out of five stars.”
