Healing neck and back pain with a holistic approach to soothing massage

Zippie is a Diploma qualified Remedial Massage Therapist.

People who suffer with neck and back pain will understand just how debilitating it can be, and how it can impact on your enjoyment of life.

Montville massage therapist Zippie Gower says she saw a lot of people experiencing neck and lower back pain. 

“Many of them have been in accidents, or have been diagnosed with clinical issues that are causing the pain,” she said. “I look after a lot of people in this situation, but my clients experience all sorts of ongoing health issues that I am able to help them alleviate.”

Zippie is a Diploma qualified Remedial Massage Therapist who is also qualified in relaxation and Swedish massage techniques, lymphatic drainage and Reflexology. She is also a fully qualified Reiki Master.

“There is a great deal more to pain than the purely physical aspect, and these include emotional, psychological and energetic,” Zippie said. “I have adopted a more intuitive and holistic approach in my practice for this reason. I can also help my clients by recommending exercises and stretches to do at home that support the work I do with them in the clinic.”

Engaging in this field represents a real change of pace for Zippie, who has spent much of her life working in a vast range of very physical jobs.

“But I have always been fascinated by the body and how it works, and this change of career felt very natural for me,” Zippie explained.

“I absolutely love what I do. It is so rewarding to work with people who are suffering with physical pain and to help them gain insights into the multi dimensional causes of it.”

Zippie said as people started to gain insight into the sources of their pain, they could begin to reclaim their lives. 

“It is wonderful to be a part of this journey with them.”
