RELIEVE AND REHABILITATE
Deep-tissue massage focuses on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body. Deep, slow pressure and firm strokes, this style is used to treat a variety of physical ailments. It is beneficial for injured muscles as it facilitates the relaxation of muscles and helps stretch tight or twisted muscle mass whilst also
promoting healing. Your muscles will be relaxed, pain reduced and your body will feel amazing.
Trigger Point Therapy
RELEASE AND RELIEVE
Trigger points are a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in other parts of the body. They can refer pain to other areas of the body which can feel sharp and intense or a dull ache.
Trigger point massage therapy alleviates the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. Receiving a massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress.
Myofascial Cupping
ADDITIONAL TECHNIQUE
Myofascial Cupping is an ancient practice which is thought to stimulate healing. Small plastic cups are placed on the body, the air is vacuumed out of the cup, creating a change in air pressure. Common areas include the back, neck, shoulders, and other body areas which are a site of pain or dysfunction. The practitioner glides the cups over the selected area to increase blood flow and reduce muscular tension. The cups can be left in place for 2- 5 minutes.
Sports Massage
OVERWORKED MUSCLES
Massage can help balance the active routine of sports enthusiasts and regular gym goers. Loosening tight or overworked muscles releases built up lactic acid and accelerates recovery. By focusing on areas of the body that are overused from repetitive movements. Sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries and promotes optimal performance.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation
ADDITIONAL TECHNIQUE
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a method using stainless steel tools that are made with grooves and curvatures to follow the body's contour. It can reduce scar tissue, adhesions, and increase blood flow. Lotion applied allows the tools to glide across the skin freely with firm pressure in a scrapping fashion. Benefits are reduced pain, reduced tightness, improve range of motion, and muscle recovery.
