Remedial therapy
Is a holistic treatment and one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness. Remedial massage is based on the fact that soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) respond to touch. Muscles not only move our joints, they stabilise them, and they provide protection for the internal organs. A remedial massage therapist uses skilled manipulation combined with in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology to bring about pain relief, as well as correcting and normalising the body’s muscles and soft tissue.Myofascial release
Myofascial release therapy is a form of massage that focuses on releasing tension and pain in the myofascial tissues. To begin, I will identify trigger points, or knots, in the fascia. I will then apply gentle, sustained pressure until the tension dissipates.
Trigger point therapy
Trigger points are spots of hyper-irritability in a muscle. Trigger point therapy is a very effective way to relieve pain and tension in the muscle, by using pressure on an active trigger point it can release the entire muscle..Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy massage can be a huge benefit as the body goes through many physical and physiological changes resulting in aches and pains, joint issues, muscle imbalances, fluid retention, circulation issues and lack of energy.Swedish Relaxation
Is a relaxing and invigorating massage to increase blood flow, calm or invigorate the nervous system and release toxins from the muscles. A deeply relaxing massage promotes quality sleep, which in turn promotes calming of the mind and repair of tissues. Relaxation Massage reduces stress, both emotional and physical.Dry needling
