Treatments

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to  treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. 

It  involves a mixture or passive and active stretching techniques whilst also applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target  the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. 

This helps to  break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.

It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. Deep tissue massage offers both physical and psychological benefits.  Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue  massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. But it can  still help to you unwind mentally, too. 

Our Relaxation massage focuses on providing general relaxation, relieving muscle tension and improving blood circulation. This involves long, smooth, gliding strokes that are both rhythmic and flowing. Pressure that is deeply relaxing, but not painful.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) has powerful cleaning, relaxing, pain relieving and immunological effects.

MLD treatment can be effective in a wide variety of areas, these include: oedema,  skin disorders, digestive disorders, stains and sprains, after surgery to remove tissue congestion and to relive pain and tension.

This type of massage is extremely gentle and relaxing. Many clients fall asleep or go into a  highly relaxed state due to the slow rhythmic motions involved. 

Kinesio Tape is designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity so you can use your full range of motion. The tape’s medical-grade adhesive is also water-resistant and strong enough to stay on for three to five days, even while you work out or take showers.

When the tape is applied to your body, it recoils slightly, gently lifting your skin. This helps to create  space between your skin and the tissues underneath it. It offers a light support and enables better blood circulation in areas needed.

Massage Therapist sometimes use kinesiology taping as one part of an overall treatment plan. The mechanical actions of sports massage is believed to enhance micro circulation, thus assisting the flow of fluid through the blood and lymph vessels. Kinesio Tape can prolong these beneficial effects due to 'off loading'  the muscle and enabling vital nutrients to flow more freely over the area in need of repair for longer.

Kinesiology tape is also used to add extra support to muscles or joints that need it. 

Unlike white medical or athletic tape, kinesiology tape lets you move normally. In fact, some studies show that it can enhance movement and endurance.

Kinesiology tape can help re-train muscles that have lost function or that have developed  an unhealthy way of working.

Some athletes use kinesiology taping to help them achieve peak performance and protect against injury when they’re competing in special events.
