You've got pain, you want it gone but you don't know what to do.
I’m Carol Seaborne, a massage and movement therapist based in Rainham, Medway. Maybe you’ve had the same problem for months, even years. You might have had a massage, seen other therapists before. I suspect you’ve been given exercises you didn’t really understand and eventually gave up on them. Your pain might have improved for some time but then it slowly came back.
This often means you just haven’t had the right support yet. It doesn’t mean that you’re lazy or that you’re too old to do the exercises. They just didn’t fit into your life.
It’s easy to worry that your body is working against you. That this is just what getting older feels like. It doesn’t have to be!
I use massage to calm your pain down and Strength Coaching, to build things back up so that you simply feel better.
Who I work with
You're not sure what to do
You get to tell me what’s been going on, what you’re worried about and what help you’re looking for. We make a plan that works for you.

How Can I Help You?
Stronger for Life
Often the people I work with come in frightened and leave feeling strong! Strong for the life they want to be living.
They can work in the garden without paying for it all the next day. Walk up hills without their knees complaining. They sleep better at night. They’re keeping up with the kids or the grandchildren.
They stop being frightened of their bodies and stop feeling old before their time.
That’s what we’re working towards, strength that makes you actual life feel better!
You’re not too old and it’s not too late. If you’ve never lifted a weight in your life, that’s completely fine – most of the people I work with haven’t.
Making Life Feel Calmer
We start where you are. If you’re in pain, we calm things down first.
Everything is tailored to you. Your pain history, your life, your goals. Nothing is one size fits all.
I combine hands on treatment with progressive movement so you don’t just feel better temporarily – you build something that lasts.
Hands-on massage can help reduce muscle tension, ease discomfort, and support relaxation. At Massage and Movement Therapies, massage is used as part of a bigger picture helping you feel more comfortable in your body and preparing you to move with greater ease and confidence.
A Gentle Approach
I work mainly with older people in their 50s and 60s who are dealing with joint pain, injury, or the feeling that their body just isn’t working the way it used to. Women who are busy, who have people depending on them, and who have been putting themselves last for too long.
A gentle, structured approach to movement with Foundation Training that focuses on posture, breathing, and building strength through the body’s support muscles. It’s ideal if you’re living with pain, stiffness, or low confidence with exercise and want a calm, accessible way to move better.
