May Yap Massage Therapist

Rolfing® Structural Integration (‘SI’) is an integrative manual therapy that improves your posture by giving you better movement and an overall feeling of wellness. It is beneficial for helping with many chronic pain issues, post-surgery recovery and also may enhance sports performance. This gentle hands-on therapy uses a combination of myofascial techniques and movement re-education. The goal is to restore your body’s balance and alignment and provide you with longer lasting pain relief. I specialise in Rolfing SI, Rolf Movement and therapeutic massage therapy. My massage specialities include body relaxation and deep tissue massage. My approach is all about you! My training is developed to give you an improved posture, better movement and an overall improved feeling of wellness. My techniques build body awareness so your muscles develop a new pattern of movement for better body biomechanics. Tightness and tension are released allowing your body to gain more support in its movement, giving you more functionality and grace. You are unique! Every client has different goals and needs and every body responds differently to life’s stresses and strains. Therefore its important with every new client, to spend time with you to discuss your individual requirements and preferred techniques. This allows me to tailor your session to suit your individual needs. My goal is that you leave my session with improved movement and relaxation. I love working with my clients to build an ongoing relationship of self-care so these results last longer. Your health and wellness are my main priorities. I love building ongoing relationships with my clients and helping them achieve better health. Don't worry though, if you only want an awesome therapeutic massage, I’ve got you covered. But don’t just take my word for it, check out my reviews. About May: I have been a legal secretary for over 20 years, but in 2017 I started suffering from repetitive strain in both hands. I found these symptoms problematic enough in that it interfered with my work, enjoyment of my sporting pursuits and also my independence. I no longer felt confident to rely on the strength in my arms. In my journey to help myself, I came across Rolfing® SI and it changed my life! I decided to begin my rigorous and intensive training at the Dr Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado and to combine this together with movement studies, with the Brazilian Association of Rolfing in Sao Paulo, Brazil. My philosophy: Undergoing the Ten Series transformed my relationship with myself and my outlook. I welcome the opportunity to be able to assist you to reach your health and wellness goals, whether that is to manage your aches and pains, to improve your posture and movement or just a desire to feel healthier and more energetic. This technique is a wonderfully empowering and enriching experience as it allows you to be awakened sensorially and be mindful of your body.
