Massage Treatment
WHAT DOES MASSAGE THERAPY FOCUS ON?
More people are turning to massage therapy to recover from chronic inflammatory conditions and injury. Also, massage therapy ensures your health and wellness despite your condition. Soft tissue massage and manipulation techniques reduce fatigue and stress and improve blood circulation in the area.
Deep massage therapy has an ancient history, dating back 3000 years ago, and effectively manages pain in cancer patients and those with acute and chronic general health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep disorders, back pain, and depression. Massage styles include acupuncture combined with deep tissue techniques.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING MASSAGE THERAPY?
Massage techniques include kneading, tapping and applying pressure to the affected areas.
Types of popular tissue massages include:
- Myofascial release resolves myofascial pain syndrome, which is a chronic disorder causing pain.
- Deep tissue massage is a technique that stimulates the tissue to relieve musculoskeletal conditions and types of sports injuries.
- Taping is a method of preventing long-term injury and treating pain. In addition, taping lowers the risk of recurrent injury and stops inflammation. Taping assists with swelling and relieves pressure at the site of an injury.
- Medical massage relieves pain, inflammation and nerve compression, stimulating digestion and improving muscle flexibility.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
We offer sports, relaxation and therapeutic massages at our practice. A sports massage encourages athletic performance by reducing muscle stiffness, fatigue and tension in the muscles.
SPORTS MASSAGE
A sports massage isn’t your typical gentle rub but instead involves vigorous rubbing to stimulate deep muscle and tissue. Although a regular massage is relaxing, a sports massage has numerous long-term benefits by improving the flexibility of the muscles and aiding in your recovery, particularly after sustaining an injury.
A sports massage is a systematic manipulation of tissues to reduce the risk of injury and improve sports performance and training.
RELAXATION MASSAGE
A relaxation massage relieves muscle tension, boosts circulation and improves skin tone. As a result, you will feel refreshed, much less stressed and more soothed than before. By performing a relaxation massage, we allow you to de-stress and relax your mind and body simultaneously. Our specialised techniques activate the lymphatic system and lower hormones contributing to stress.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
A therapeutic massage improves muscle strength, blood pressure, circulation, your skin quality and assists with digestion. In addition, a therapeutic massage mobilises soft tissue (body fluids, fascia and muscles).
Therapeutic massage is a modality that reduces stress and relieves pain at the point of injury. This form of massage therapy addresses frozen shoulder. A deep tissue massage disintegrates scar tissue and improves blood flow.
