Massage has been shown to be very effective in getting rid of cellulite, and I have developed a massage routine that is specifically designed to do this more effectively.

The program consists of 10 treatments (one a week) and includes diet assessment, etc.
Body statistics are measured and plotted over the 10 weeks to keep track of just how effective it is.

It is important to be realistic about your expectations though. My research indicates that
this treatment is very effective for women
in their 20's to mid 40's, but that from mid 40's and older, it becomes less effective.

Body fat percentage also plays a major role in the effectiveness of this treatment.
Only women with a body fat percentage of below 20% can expect to get rid of their cellulite totally over the 10 weeks,
although the results for women who's body fat percentage
is between 20% and 28% will show very good results as well.
For women who have a body fat percentage over 28%, results are still noticeable, but less so as body fat percentage rises.


I also have a weight loss program which is based on a proper eating plan, along with a homoeopathic product
called Dr. Reckeweg, which has proved to be very effective indeed.

Something that should also be kept in mind is that weight change affects the look of cellulite in the short term.
This means that someone who has recently lost weight will seem to have more cellulite because the skin in not pulled so
tight over the body. Conversely someone who has recently gained weight will seem to have much less cellulite because the skin is pulled much tighter over
the body. Though it must be remembered that these are very short term effects,

It is also important to note that the length of time the results last, is also dependent on the way you look after your
body afterwards, and maintenance massage sessions are also needed.

Because this is essentially a modified deep connective tissue massage, one can also expect the following benefits:

Reduced blood pressure
Improved mobility.
Better muscle balance.
Reduced cellulite.
Detoxification.
Improved circulation.
Improved lymphatic return.
Improved sleep patterns.
Very relaxing and stress reducing.

As well as leaving you feeling relaxed and stress free, a massage can also
leave you feeling drugged because of toxins and wastes being removed
from the muscles and connective tissue. The body also produces endorphins which may put
you on a bit of a high, this is very evident after a full
massage but can be quite pleasant.

The nature of this massage requires bare skin, particularly for the stroking movements which require massage oils
to reduce pulling on the skin. It would follow then, that any part
of the body being massaged needs to be undressed. Areas that are not
being massaged at the time are kept covered with a towel to keep you
warm in winter and to preserve your modesty if this would make you
feel more comfortable. Care will be taken not to expose any private
areas of the body.
