More about techniques…





Remedial Massage:

Remedial massage is massage with the intention of ‘remedy’. That is, in order to initiate or maintain optimum health. The nurture and healing of human touch has been somewhat lost in our culture and returning to it through massage and other manual therapies is beneficial to the health and wellbeing of every person. The intuitive awareness and ability of a skilled bodyworker to assess a person and adjust treatments accordingly is something no machine can match. Everything from sports injuries and other injury rehabilitation to posture and general relaxation can be effectively treated with Remedial Massage. Combining deeper techniques, such as Sports Massage and Triggerpoint Therapy or more gentle approaches of Myofascial Release and Lymphatic Drainage, with general massage techniques, means there is a massage to suit everyone. Corrective exercise therapy is also available to those interested in facilitating and maintaining balance in themselves outside of the treatment.

Remedial massage is beneficial to EVERYONE.



Swedish Massage:

Swedish Massage is for relaxation. Originating from Sweden, this massage focuses on increasing circulation and calming the nervous system, thus having a systemic response.This massage makes you feel relaxed all over, rather than focusing on problem areas. It is a soothing massage, to ease your aches and pains and melt you into a deeply peaceful state.

Swedish Massage is beneficial to anyone who just wants to relax.



Sports Massage:

Understanding the relevant sport and main muscle groups used allows specific massage techniques and preventative measures to be applied. Although this type of massage and assessment is most commonly sought after an injury has occurred, it is most effective as a preventative measureand to enhance performance. Corrective exercises can be used to complement this technique.

Sports massage is beneficial to anyone involved in sport.



Myofascial Release:

Imagine one giant sheet of cling wrap surrounding each and every piece of the body – bones, muscles, organs – holding them all in place and giving your body its shape. This is a simple description of fascia, a connective tissue in the body. Now imagine something between having your skin gently stretched and just being held in a certain position, allowing tension to unravel itself. This is a description of what you can expect from myofascial release, a non-invasive method with very deep, relaxing effects. Myo, meaning muscle, means this technique works on the fascia of the muscle and therefore relaxes and re-aligns the muscles.

Myofascial release is beneficial to everyone, particularly those who find deep massage painful or invasive.



Lymphatic Drainage:

The lymphatic system initiates responses from the immune system toclear toxins and regulate fluids in the body. In extreme cases, where a lymph node has been damaged or removed, drainage can be an important tool for helping the body do what it can no longer do alone. For example, after a mastectomy (removal of the breast tissue and lymph nodes under the armpit) the lymph will continue to flow to where the node was, waiting to be re-circulated. If the node is not there or not functioning, the lymph accumulates and creates swelling. Manual drainage (gentle massage along the lymphatic pathways) will re-direct the lymph, re-establishing normal flow. This is also helpful to women who experience swelling, particularly at the end of the day. In ordinary circumstances, drainage promotes good skin condition and can boost the immune system.

Lymphatic Drainage is beneficial to those who do not have a severely compromised immune system. It can be used more specifically for those with damaged or removed nodes or lymphatic disorders.



Triggerpoint Therapy:

Triggerpoints are small taught bands in the muscle . When these points are 'active', pressing the point causes ‘exquisite pain’. Quite gentle pressure can seem intense but usually is brief and then relaxes the attachment and insertion of the muscle. Active triggerpoints can often refer pain elsewhere in the body. Have you ever experienced sharp pains for no apparent reason? And no matter how much you might concentrate on the painful area, the pain doesn’t go away? This is the kind of referred pain that can come from triggerpoints. For example, triggerpoints on muscles in the neck often cause pain or throbbing around the temple, forehead or eyes. By treating the triggerpoints of the neck muscles, the headaches or facial pain can be eased. For this reason triggerpoint therapy is effective in treating referred pain at its true source.

Triggerpoint therapy is best for people who don't mind deeper pressure and some short-lived pain.



Corrective Exercise Therapy:

Creating balance in the body is simple when you look at stretching and strengthening opposing muscles. Someone with tight hamstrings (backs of thighs) can stretch the muscles but without strengthening the opposing muscles at the front of the leg, the stretches may not have much effect. Think about it – if you tackle the problem from both sides you’ll fix it twice as fast! The best exercises are simple! You needn’t go to a gym or run marathons. Simple exercises can be done at home, or even at work, and are just as effective.

Corrective Exercise Therapy is beneficial to everyone - it is a pro-active method, helping you maintain your own health.
