Caroline Portrait2

Caroline Madden has over 17 years experienced working as a bodywork therapist.

Based in Edinburgh & Portobello clinics, Caroline is a certified & insured practitioner in Advanced Clinical Massage, Bowen Technique, Pregnancy Massage and Hot Stones Therapy among other therapies. Her treatments are tailored to the individual targeting a wide range of musculoskeletal issues using a combination of techniques.

Clinical Massage treatments include deep tissue massage, trigger point work, myofascial release, heat, acupressure and sports stretching to reduce pain and increase range of movement. Advice is given on stretching and selfcare at home to maintain the benefits achieved from clinic treatments.

Caroline is a highly experienced Bowen Technique practitioner. Bowen offers a gentle but equally effective approach to aid the body in finding better balance and wellbeing. Whilst Bowen can address musculoskeletal issues, it is also a useful therapy for those with autoimmune and chronic conditions who perhaps cannot tolerate the firmer therapeutic work.

With experience in addressing a wide range of musculo-skeletal issues from acute to chronic conditions, she continues to build on her knowledge through ongoing CPD training. Modules attended have given a deeper understanding of how to treat shoulder / neck pain, forearm / wrist issues, headaches & TMJ and lower back / hip pain.

As a Pregnancy Massage therapist she supports women thoroughout their pregnancy whether for relaxation or to address pregnancy related discomforts and issues.
