Remedial Massage

Using numerous techniques to assist the body in healing and relieving pain, Remedial massage aims to treat muscles that are tight, tense, knotted, damaged or immobile. It is used to address health problems and can aid in speeding up the body’s natural healing process.

As problems within the muscles can often trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body, this method aims to trace the root of the pain, releasing and treating the cause of the problem and symptoms.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage utilises a combination of both massage and stretching techniques to target the muscles and connective tissues of the body. It is used to enhance physical performance, alleviate any stress, tightness, tension or soreness. It also promotes flexibility and aids in faster recovery from injuries. This particular technique can also be used to treat minor injuries, lesions, recovery and rehabilitation in the event of overexertion or overuse of muscles.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a soft tissue technique that works to release painful, tension in muscles and fascia that you would usually experience as a knot in the muscle. There are many different approaches to trigger point therapy including soft tissue work, deep tissue massage, dry needling and ischemic pressure.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is used for the treatment of muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves introducing fine, sterile acupuncture needles into “trigger points” (knots) of muscles. Dry Needling alleviates the symptoms of trigger points and is commonly used for the treatment of:

• Neck pain, headaches and migraines

Chinese Cupping

Traditional Cupping Therapy is a traditional Chinese modality that uses cups placed on the skin to draw up underlying tissues. The cup is rolled up the skin and left in place for 5 to 15 minutes. This causes our body to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear blockages and increase blood flow. It is commonly used for:

• Lower back problems
• Muscular and joint pain
• Sciatica
• Stiff shoulders
• Common cold and influenza
• Bronchial asthma
• Skin complaints
• Premenstrual pain

Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of alternative medical practice that uses varied amounts of pressure to hands, feet and ears through the use of thumb, finger and hand massage without the use of oil or lotion.
