How can remedial massage therapy help me?
Muscle Tightness and Muscle Imbalances can benefit from massage as it relieves muscle restrictions, tightness, stiffness and spasm which may limit full movement. It encourages better muscle activity through increased movement of nutrients and removal of waste products. It can improve muscle tone and delays muscle atrophy resulting from inactivity.
Tension Headaches, Back and Neck Pain can all be relieved with Massage Therapy. It is an important part of helping reduce pain from muscle tightness. Our Massage Therapists work closely with the Physiotherapist in the diagnostic and treatment plan for you. In most cases you will be assessed by the Physiotherapist to make sure there is no other underlying problem that needs to be treated by the Physio.
Sports Injuries and Training Performance also benefit from massage as it helps to maintain your muscles in the best possible state of nutrition, flexibility and vitality, speeding up muscle recovery after activity or injury. Deep massage can separate fascial fibres, and prevent the formation of adhesions. It also helps in the reduction of inflammation and oedema in joints and soft tissue following injury.
Pain Relief, Stress Management and Relaxation Massage can relieve your sore and tired muscles, reduce your chronic stress and work tension, improve concentration and work performance. It will leave you feeling relaxed and energised.

Remedial or ‘Therapeutic’ Massage applies corrective techniques for rehabilitation, pain relief, improved muscle function and mobility. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body, through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons.
Sports Massage is used for injury prevention, pre and post sports events, preparation and recovery, flexibility and endurance and training workouts. A must for people serious about their training outcomes and maintenance of their muscles’ health, flexibility and performance.
Swedish (Relaxation) Massage is used for relaxation, relief of muscular tension, health management and stress reduction. Swedish Massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It improves blood circulation and stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system while at the same time relating the nerves themselves, reducing stress, both emotional and physical. Swedish or Relaxation Massage is recommended as a regular program for the management of stress.
Acupressure is part of Chinese Traditional Medicine and is often described as 'acupuncture without needles'. Deep finger and elbow pressure is applied at certain points. Acupressure can reduce tension, increase circulation and offer pain relief for many complaints, and removes energy blockages to promote good health.
Myofascial Release Therapy is a very gentle yet very effective manual therapy using sustained pressure into restrictions in the fascial system to eliminate pain and restore motion and function to your body. The therapy is based on the principle that poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can shift your body out of alignment and cause the intricate web of fascia to become tight and constricted. Myofascial Release Therapy can benefit anyone who has chronic tension, poor posture, arthritis, tendonitis, TMJ problems and sciatica. Adhesions and scar tissue may also be broken down with myofascial release therapy.
