Sports & Remedial Massage
(Soft Tissue Therapy)
Originally developed for athletes to aid recovery from injury, to prevent injuries from initially occurring and to increase performance. Sports & Remedial Massage utilises specific techniques which are applied to lengthen and soften short, hypertonic muscles. Firm pressure is used to release tension and adhesions and increase movement, but I will communicate with you throughout the treatment to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. Clients are treated in a relaxing atmosphere with soothing music, candles and essential oil mists. Each massage is tailored to achieve a specific goal for an individual client, such as relieving migraines and headaches caused by muscular tension or just simply relaxation…
Pregnancy/Prenatal Massage
A wonderful complementary therapy choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy and natural way to relieve muscle aches and joint pains, improve labour outcomes and newborn health. Studies show that massage during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, depression, improve sleep and hormone imbalance, as well as alleviate stress. Treatment increases blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling and water retention, hydrate skin and enhance skin flexibility. Perhaps most importantly, having a massage during pregnancy provides mums to be some well deserved “me” time.
Head Massage including Face, Neck, Shoulders and Upper Back
Without a doubt, one of the most relaxing forms of massage, with the focus on the parts of our body that are most impacted by stress. An effective and natural way to cure insomnia, fatigue, headaches, sinusitis and migraines. Regular head massage can improve concentration and has been proven to increase circulation and encourage hair growth. The techniques used aim to increase flexibility in neck and shoulders and relieve tired facial muscles.
Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT)
MAT incorporates advanced therapeutic techniques to relieve and correct patterns in the body that lead to pain, poor posture and deterioration. Designed to bring effective, long lasting natural pain relief to muscles, joints and ligaments, by utilising Muscle Energy Techniques (combination of stretching and isometric contraction) and Myofascial Release, which are pain free and gentle techniques, predominantly focused on fascia which releases other structures of the human body.
