Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is more specialised then relaxation massage and is used to treat an array of musculo-skeletal conditions. Specialised techniques are applied in order to promote a smoother and quicker healing time, reduce aches and pains, reduce peripheral swelling, promote better circulation, decrease toxins within the body and to assist in elimination of toxins. Massage also assists in tissue repair and to ease joint stiffness. Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions that are often relieved with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, whiplash, muscular atrophy and sports injuries.

Sports Massage/Deep Tissue Massage

Sports massage is designed to prevent and relieve injuries and conditions that are associated with exercise. This type of massage can be quite strenuous and vigorous at times. Sports Massage techniques include joint mobilisations, stretching (active and passive), strengthening, corrective exercises, heat and cold therapy and jostling. Key benefits to sports massage/deep tissue massage is to release toxins from the deeper muscles layers, relieve swelling and muscle tensions, help promote flexibility of the joints, promote better blood and lymph flow, reduce pain and can also help to drain away fatigue. Injuries that can be treated include sprains and strains, corked thighs, tennis and golfers elbow, shin splints etc.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage uses a combination of warmed stones and massage techniques to relax tense muscles, relieve pain and stiffness, and improve circulation. Hot stone massage treatment is a form of alternative medicine massage therapy and involves placing heated stones on the body for the purpose of pain relief, relaxation and therapy.  The stones are very smooth so they do not irritate the skin in any way. The heated stones help the body to relax while providing a warming sensation. This treatment can help relieve muscle tension and pain, and reduce stress and anxiety. Hot stone massage therapy may relieve painful conditions such as fibromyalgia and symptoms of other autoimmune diseases.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage can help support a mothers changing body. As our centre of gravity changes due to growing a tiny little person our muscles and spine also change to compensate the change. This change can load different areas of the body often leaving the mother feeling unbalanced, tight, tense and strained through the joints and muscles.

Using a combination of techniques we can help to reduce these associated pains, reduce peripheral swelling, help to reduce muscle cramps and spasms, relax and soothe the nervous system, reduce hip and back pain along with encouraging better sleep.
