How are my treatments different from anything else around?
Out there you can find massage practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, sports therapists, alternative modalities or even some more specialised professionals like pelvic floor physiotherapists.
The service I provide mixes skills and tools from all of them and I get to use them in a holistic manner. It is not only massage, it is also Nursing,
Musculoskeletal and Neuro-muscular Rehabilitation,
Nervous System Healing,
Core Restore and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation,
Soft Tissue Therapy,
Visceral and Abdominal Massage
Scar Therapy
Trauma and Energy Healing
and Neurological Retraining Therapy
among others!
At Loving Tums you get the best and the most innovative techniques out there. From Neuroplasticity-integrated Core Rehab, to Hypoppressive Therapy. Hypopressives are one of my favourite tools to rehab the core! And I am the only certified professional in Wales!
Every client receives a uniquely designed treatment plan, following a thorough assessment that takes into account every aspect of your health.
Each bespoke rehabilitation programme is designed with a Holistic approach, taking into account other essential cornerstones of your recovery plan, such as chronic illness, menopause and hormonal changes, habits, mindset, stress, trauma and quality of sleep.
It is not just pain rehabilitation, with me you receive a whole-round WELL-BEING service.
I also believe in self-care and all my programmes include tools and strategies to teach my clients how to look after their own bodies, empowering you to create an intimate relationship with your body and ensuring LONG-TERM results.
The common belief "No Pain, No Gain" is very very very debatable.
It is true that unhappy tissues are sensitive to touch and pressure, and therefore working on them can feel tender.
SOMETIMES experiencing MANAGEABLE pain is part of the healing process.
BUT these principles MUST always be taken into account:
The level of pain should never be too intense or you would create further muscle tension or protection. We need to work WITH the body, not scare it!
You must be able to continue breathing deeply and calmly all throughout, therefore it has to be manageable. Pain that makes you hold your breath or tense your face is only creating more damage at a neurological level.
Blue and purple bruising means your tissues are bleeding, so if anyone ever caused you dark bruising they were not listening to your body, only creating further injury and preventing your body from relaxing on any following sessions. Usually this happens if your practitioner tries to go very deep and rough. You need to earn the right to go deep and get access to those deep layers within your body. Asking for permission and respecting the body's boundaries is a must if you really want to get results.
In the presence of trauma and widespread pain, painful treatments MUST always be avoided not to create flareups. When we talk about chronic pain, we are talking about a body full of fear at a neurological level. treating a fearful nervous system requires patience and loving, tender care. There are LOADS of painless tools that can be used.
Pain is the way your body says something is not right. A good practitioner has to be able to listen carefully to the body's communication, there is a very subtle difference between "this area is not good" and "this technique is not good"
There are times in which pain will even feel good, like the right spot has finally been found as you can feel the ache going away.
All in all, treating pain in the body is all about reducing fear and creating trust and harmony at a neurological level. This involves not violating the body by giving pain that is not called for.
If you are one of those people that "likes to feel pain" because it feels like your treatment is more powerful, I urgently invite you to reconsider the relationship you are creating with your body and most definitely change the practitioner you have been using until now.
None of you are serving your body the right way by following this "No-pain-no-gain" approach.
If what you are really after is the experience of an intense connection with your tissues, loads of techniques can be used to increase the neurological feedback and the tissue perception.

Love letters from my customers
"The knowledge and understanding you have of my personal issues, I truly believe is a gift. You make it a safe and caring atmosphere with no judging. I know I'm not the usual client, but the patience you show me is unmeasureable. Thank you for all you do .
Thank you for keeping me as a client. Xx"
"Abi is kind, knowledgeable and can really change your life."
"Truly one of the best healing experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving. I have had a recurring issue with my back and shoulders for a number of years. After speaking with Abi I opted for an intensive recovery plan and treatment. This involved a number of sessions over a few days. To be pain free immediately after the treatment was 100% worth it.
The whole time Abi was very calm, re-assuring and connected to exactly where my issues were. Abi also knew exactly just how far to push my treatment on each session. Abi corrected issues I didn’t know I had, many interlinked with my main pain issues.
Abi advised me on what may be causing my issues, and also advised me on what changes to put in place to stop any recurring injuries. It’s been over 2 months since my treatment and I can honestly say this is the best my back has felt in years. I’m no longer in any pain and the ongoing advice from Abi and the suggested changes I’ve now put in place have made a huge difference.
I’d highly recommend Abi to absolutely anyone struggling with any pain issues.
Abi’s healing abilities can have a hugely positive impact on your life and have had a massive impact on mine.
Thanks again."
"Abi is absolutely Amazing, she can read you like a book and treats you holistically, with awareness and empathy, skillfully investigating the problem and finding the very best way to fix whatever issues you are experiencing. I've had 15 face-to-face sessions with her and all the online stuff too, its incredible value and it has been so very worthwhile. She has helped me so much! If you are drawn to her to help you, then it's likely that she is the person you need. Just go for it you won't regret it! xx"
"Abi is incredibly knowledgeable about womens health and really takes the time to get to know what YOUR body needs. It's never "one size fits all" she tailors every session specifically to you and to your current needs. She's really good!!! If you are struggling with health issues related to stress, stiffness , hip pain, lower back pain or any pelvic floor discomfort, give her a call and see if she can help.. I'm sure she can! X"
