When I first discovered the power of massage, it felt like unlocking a secret to better health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how personalized care can transform lives. At Bodyworks by Corey, I focus on delivering tailored treatments that address your unique needs, whether you’re an athlete recovering from injury, someone managing chronic conditions, or simply seeking relaxation. Today, I want to share with you the many therapeutic massage benefits that can help you feel your best every day.


Discovering the Therapeutic Massage Benefits


Massage is more than just a luxury - it’s a vital tool for maintaining physical and emotional balance. The therapeutic massage benefits I’ve witnessed include pain relief, improved circulation, and reduced stress levels. For example, clients with sports injuries often experience faster recovery times and less muscle tension after a few sessions. Those dealing with post-surgical swelling or lymphatic issues find relief through specialized techniques like Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), which I specialise in.


One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping oncology patients through gentle, supportive massage that eases discomfort and promotes healing. The personalised approach I take means every session is designed with your health goals in mind, ensuring you get the most from your time on the table.

How Therapeutic Massage Benefits Your Body and Mind


The benefits of therapeutic massage extend beyond the physical. When I work with clients, I see how releasing muscle tension also helps ease mental stress. This holistic effect is why many people return regularly. Here are some key benefits you can expect:


  • Pain Reduction: Targeted massage helps reduce chronic pain from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries.

  • Improved Circulation: Techniques like MLD stimulate lymph flow, reducing swelling and detoxifying the body.

  • Enhanced Mobility: Regular sessions can increase joint flexibility and muscle range of motion.

  • Stress Relief: The calming environment and gentle touch lower cortisol levels, promoting relaxation.

  • Better Sleep: Many clients report improved sleep quality after massage, which supports overall health.


I always encourage clients to think of massage as part of their self-care routine, not just a one-off treat. Consistency is key to unlocking lasting benefits.


Which Type of Massage Is Best?


Choosing the right type of massage depends on your individual needs and health goals. At Bodyworks by Corey, I offer a range of specialised treatments, including:


  1. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): My speciality, ideal for those with lipedema, post-cosmetic surgery recovery, or lymphatic system concerns.

  2. Sports Rehabilitation Massage: Designed to support athletes in recovery and injury prevention.

  3. Oncology Massage: Gentle, safe techniques tailored for cancer patients to ease pain and improve comfort.

  4. Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on deeper layers of muscle to relieve chronic tension.

  5. Relaxation Massage: Perfect for stress relief and general well-being.


If you’re unsure which massage suits you best, I’m always happy to discuss your situation and recommend a personalised plan. Your comfort and safety are my top priorities.

How I Personalise Your Massage Experience


Every body is different, and that’s why I take a personalised approach to every session. When you book with me, I start by understanding your health history, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. This helps me tailor the pressure, techniques, and focus areas to suit you perfectly.


For example, if you’re recovering from surgery, I’ll use gentle MLD to reduce swelling and promote healing without causing discomfort. If you’re an athlete, I might combine deep tissue work with stretching to enhance performance and prevent injury. For those managing chronic pain, I focus on releasing tension and improving circulation to support long-term relief.


I also provide advice on self-care between sessions, such as stretches, hydration tips, and lifestyle changes that complement your massage therapy. This holistic support helps you maintain progress and feel empowered in your health journey.
