SLM Bodywork is an advanced, unique form of Remedial massage and acupressure based largely on an ancient art of healing from the East. It was made popular by Steve Lockhart in the early 90s and has been rapidly growing in popularity since that time. SLM bodywork includes a full body flowing massage that focuses on many critical parts of the body to put length and function back into the muscles to balance the body, allowing it to function normally. SLM bodywork is far from being like the another forms of Remedial Massage. Rather it is a powerful combination of techniques and knowledge that helps rid the body of pain and injury.

A fully trained SLM Practitioner is skilled at knowing how different muscles in the body are connected and how problems in one area can refer pain to a totally different area. Whereas Remedial Massage is about taking tension from the muscles, SLM Bodywork includes, stimulating flaccid muscles through various nerve lines, restoring length and function to permanently contracted muscles and removing the muscle imbalances so pressure is released from joints.

SLM Practitioners are also trained to recognise when a body requires attention to diet and/ or exercise before it is likely to respond fully to bodywork. This combined knowledge that forms the basis of a more holistic approach to a problem, means SLM Bodywork is highly effective in the large majority of cases of chronic and acute pain and injury, even when Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Remedial Massage have failed to take the pain away.
