Massage therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to health that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, reduce pain, and enhance physical performance.
Remember, you do not have to be sore to enjoy the health benefits of massage. Keeping yourself fit and well is the best form of healthcare and massage can be a great adjunct to achieving your personal health goals.
Remedial massage
What is remedial massage?
Remedial massage is a type of therapeutic massage that aims to treat and manage specific muscular and soft tissue problems.
Remedial massage therapists use a variety of techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching, to help restore normal movement, reduce pain and tension, and improve overall function.
Essentially the remedial massage session processes the assessment, which involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s health condition. This information helps the therapist to provide targeted treatment tailored to the client’s individual needs.
Our Remedial Massage Therapist can incorporate Western remedial and traditional Chinese massage styles, which can help address a range of issues such as muscular tension, stress relief, and overall relaxation. Acupressure points can be included in your massage if desired to enhance the therapeutic benefits and improve the flow of energy throughout the body.
Reflexology
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is the application of pressure to specific points and areas on the feet. According to reflexology theory, certain locations on the feet correspond to specific organs, bones and body systems within the body.
This form of massage is commonly combined with other therapies such as acupuncture, meditation and remedial massage. It is also a great option for those who are unable to experience body massage.
Foot reflexology may assist with:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Reducing pain
- Promoting restful sleep
- Aiding digestion
Lymphatic drainage massage
