Remedial Massage

Remedial massage incorporates several specialised massage techniques to locate and help ease muscle stiffness and tension in the body. This muscular stiffness and tension can quickly develop in a variety of common situations, such as through  stress, a sedentary lifestyle, poor posture and sporting-related activities.

Firm, remedial massage is the best treatment for freeing up these adhesions (little knots) in muscles to ensure you better quality of life. It is through the precise and careful stretching out of your strained and tightened muscles that you’ll be able to give your body a healthy “wake-up” call for the rest of the week.

Sports and Deep Tissue Massage

A highly effective treatment for clients in running clubs, that visit the gym regularly or compete in sports teams. Vigorous rubbing techniques are used to warm up muscle tissue. Long, deep strokes – through large muscle groups such as the quads and gluteals – can help eliminate toxins and lactic acid from the body.

Dry Needling

The practice of dry needling is a common technique in manual physical therapy. It involves inserting 3 to 5cm needles into “trigger points” and is typically used for pain associated with injuries.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy involves the therapist locating and deactivating trigger points, which are often wound-up muscles that have been damaged or are kinked.

This therapy is a highly effective way to reduce muscular spasm by introducing new blood flow into the affected area.
