Charlie:

Master of Lymphatic Drainage and Deep Tissue Massage for Ultimate Healing

Charlie uses massage to improve mobility, eradicate toxins with an eye on reducing longer term pain.

Lymphatic drainage massage

Charlie is a specialist in lymphatic drainage massage, a gentle and relaxing technique that helps to improve the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph fluid is a clear fluid that helps to remove toxins and waste from the body. When the lymphatic system is not working properly, it can lead to swelling, pain, and other health problems.

He understands the specific needs of each patient and tailors his massage techniques accordingly. He uses his extensive knowledge to mix a variety of techniques to help reduce swelling, pain, and improve circulation. He also helps to improve range of motion and reduce scar tissue formation.

Qualifications and experience

Charlie is ITEC Master Qualified, which is the highest level of qualification in massage therapy. He also has a level 5 qualification in anatomy and physiology. This means that he has a deep understanding of the human body and how it works. He uses this knowledge to ensure that his massage techniques are safe and effective.

Charlie is a patient and compassionate therapist who takes the time to get to know each of his clients. He understands that everyone’s recovery is different, and he tailors his treatment plan to meet the individual needs of each client.

Charlie is based at the Essential Feeling Romford, Essex location. This is a modern and well-equipped treatment space that is located in a convenient location. Charlie is available to book appointments Monday to Sunday 7am to 10pm online.
