Relaxation Massage
Massage is one of the best known antidotes for stress.
Massage can help relieve symptoms associated with anxiety,
insomnia and asthma. Massage is an excellent support for
people in psychological counseling or addiction treatment.
Sports Massage
After vigorous exercise, buildup of waste products and micro-tears in your muscles can leave you feeling tired and sore. Massage increases circulation aiding removal of waste products and promotion of healing to muscle tissue.
Pregnancy Massage
Massage during pregnancy can relieve lower back pain, leg cramps and swollen feet that is caused by the changes in your body as well as helping you to relax you and enjoy your pregnancy.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue massage can release the chronic tension in the body, reduce pain, increase range of motion, relieve muscle spasms and improve circulation through the use of slow stroked focusing on the deeper layers of muscle.
Myofacial Release
Myofacial Release is a technique that utilises stretching that produces a healing effect upon the body tissues, eliminating pain and restoring movement.
Postural Management
Massage aids to release restrictions in muscles, joints and
surrounding fascia to help restore a more natural posture. Relieving shortened tight muscles and addressing weaker
structures with exercises and neural stimulation can benefit
greatly the pain associated with bad postural habits and curvatures such as scoliosis.
