Depending on your symptoms, specific massage techniques are utilised to improve blood circulation, enable joint mobility and aid the natural repair of damaged tissue. All treatments are tailored to your specific symptoms and individual needs. Treatments range from gentle massage techniques aimed to relax or energise, to deeper soft tissue massage to relieve muscular tension, manage pain and aid injury recovery.

THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy is a wonderful way to release muscle tensions and aid the natural repair of the body. It can help provide pain relief, restore balance and body alignment, increase mobility, eliminate toxins and help the healing of injuries as well as an effective injury prevention.Massage therapy can:
- Reduce stress and anxiety by relaxing your body, encouraging the release of those natural ‘feel-good’ endorphins,
- Boost your immune system by increasing blood circulation and lymphatic drainage improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues aiding in healing and repair.
- Increase joint mobility by releasing muscle tension and stiffness around joints.
- Improve postural alignment: Stress, anxiety and long periods sitting at work often result in the tightening of muscle groups causing shoulder, neck and lower back pain.
- Improve skin tone and break up scar tissue
- Help lower high blood pressure
- Relief of symptoms for conditions such as arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis or Asthma by reducing the secondary effects of induced muscle tension and aid blood circulation.
- Alleviate headaches, migraines and improve your quality of sleep
- Post activity sports massage can help eject the build-up of metabolic waste generated by exercise, such as lactates, and ease delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle fatigue.
