"I was trying for the ‘Tough Guy’ and I came in to see Ben at C1 for some sports massage therapy to help with my training. When I came to see him I had shin-splints, some foot pain and plantar fasciitis. After a few treatments these were resolved and I completed the Tough Guy with a personal best. For my next challenge I signed up for my first ever marathon, the Brighton marathon. I kept coming to see Ben during the training and I ran the race in under 4 hours. Without regular treatment I would never have broken the 4 hour barrier; never have run the race as quickly as I did and never have enjoyed it as much. So, what’s next?"

Massage Therapy

At C1 we also provide massage therapy.

Your skeleton was never designed to spend hours crouched over a computer and as a result of this lack of movement your muscles can become stiff and hard. This leads to the classic 'knotty' sensation in your shoulders, which can eventually, if left untreated, lead to tension headaches, loss of quality sleep, decreased ability to deal with stress and fatigue. At C1 our experienced massage therapists will take time to discuss your lifestyle, your diet and any exercise regime to find out how best you can reduce stress and will then treat any muscular problems with deep tissue massage and accupressure.

The massage will leave you feeling rejuvenated, deeply relaxed and it breaks down fibrous knots in the muscle bringing relief from pain, stiffness and stress. It improves circulation which encourages the body to detoxify.

Massage can also help:

• PMT
• IBS
• Insomnia
• Stress
• Depression
• Chronic illness & pain
• Boost immunity
• Pregnancy discomfort
• Improves mobility
• Restorative

The Effects of Massage

A single massage is enjoyable and therapeutic, but the true benefits of massage are cumulative. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening the body’s ability to heal, reduce stress and prevent injury through poor posture or excess tension.

Indian Head Massage

At C1 we can also offer Indian Head Massage, which is a safe, simple & effective non-invasive therapy involving massage of the head, neck, face, arms/hands and upper back. It is a treatment that can be carried out fully clothed sitting on a sturdy upright chair so it is a good massage for people who feel uncomfortable on a couch. It is known to be deeply spiritual and while it works on the physical tissue of the body, it also works to balance and unblock the three higher chakras.

Indian Head massage is a renowned stress-busting treatment that results in a deep sometimes trance-like state of relaxation. Benefits include:

• Clearing brain fog
• Improves lymphatic drainage from head & neck
• Nourishing to skin & hair
• Improves muscle tone & mobility
• Reduces stress headaches
• Gives a sense of calm & peace
