You might wonder why this blog post is an introduction to a clinic I started back in 2008. The truth is, things have changed a lot since we first opened our doors in Leigh-on-Sea back then.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t run or play sports regularly yourself, it can be intimidating to book an appointment at a clinic you feel is only for physically active people. It\u2019s a common misconception that we only work with sportspeople at The Body Matters<\/a>, or those crazy folks who run marathons all the time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that I used to be one of those crazy marathon-running folks myself! However, my intention has always been to create a welcoming space for absolutely everybody to feel relaxed and revived, with a team of qualified therapists who will work not just with the body, but with the mind and soul.<\/p>\n

A warm welcome to The Body Matters<\/h2>\n

No matter who you are, what your lifestyle is like, or what your background is, we offer a whole range of therapies and treatments that not just treat, but educate and inform.<\/p>\n

We can do this because every therapist working at The Body Matters is a hand-picked, well-known expert in their field. Our therapists are not simply qualified, they are also highly experienced, they work full-time on their chosen discipline, and every session they perform is individually tailored to the needs of each client they work with. Most of the time, the advice and experience they offer go far beyond the therapies clients initially seek them out for.<\/p>\n

Effective therapies, tailored to you<\/h3>\n

You might be surprised at the vast range of therapies and treatments we are able to offer! This is because we want to ensure your mind, body, and soul work in perfect harmony, and our therapies are designed to achieve just that, all in one place.<\/p>\n

Choose from mindfulness and meditation<\/a>, somatic experiencing<\/a>, reiki<\/a>, and Pilates<\/a>, to name just a few. Our nutritional therapists are the very best in the business and will work with you on weight management and improving your relationship with food. We also offer hypnotherapy treatments<\/a>, BWRT sessions<\/a>, and stress management therapy for those who need to resolve personal issues and feel more relaxed.<\/p>\n

Personally, as a massage therapist well-known for having \u201ciron fingers and healing hands\u201d, I can confirm that our program of massage therapies<\/a> is designed to relieve tension and soothe aches and pains.<\/p>\n

Come and meet us<\/h3>\n

Now that I\u2019ve properly introduced The Body Matters to you, why not get to know us a little more? Our informative website will advise you about the range of therapies we offer, and you will get the chance to meet our friendly team of therapists.<\/p>\n

You can also browse our program of workshops to be held over the coming months, delivered by our therapists and covering a wealth of wellness subjects from Pilates and angel meditation, to food intolerance and understanding diabetes.<\/p>\n

Whatever your preferences, and whatever your issues in life, I am confident that The Body Matters will help improve your mind, body, and soul.<\/p>\n

I very much look forward to welcoming you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
