What Types of Massage Do We Offer?

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a form of remedial massage in which direct pressure is applied to specific points within muscle tissue to reduce muscle tension and increase pain relief.

All muscles contain possible trigger points that can be activated by factors like muscle overuse, injury, electrolyte imbalances, nerve issues, stress, and inflammation. These trigger points can lead to pain in the affected muscle and/or radiate pain to other parts of the body.

Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is internationally recognised as a valuable pain treatment that can be beneficial to a wide range of people.

Trigger Point Therapy can help with:

• Sports injuries
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Muscular pain
• Knee pain
• Shin Splints
• Lower back pain

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial Release is a type of therapy that targets the myofascial tissues—the tough membranes that surround, connect, and support your muscles and bones. These tissues play an important role in maintaining the structure and function of your musculoskeletal system.

In a treatment session, the therapist identifies spots where the tissues are tight or restricted, rather than fluid and mobile. Through slow, steady pressure, the aim is to release the tension and restore the natural flexibility and strength of the tissues in question.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it particularly effective for treating chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injury. By using slow, firm pressure, this technique helps to release tension from the muscles and tendons, promoting better mobility and reducing pain. It’s often used to address areas of discomfort caused by overuse, injury, or stress, making it beneficial for both everyday people and athletes alike.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is crafted for athletes and people who place heavy demands on their bodies. It specifically addresses areas that undergo strain from repetitive or intense activities, commonly found in sports and physically taxing tasks. Each session is adapted to the individual’s unique requirements and the sport they are involved in, with a focus on easing tension and stress in the most affected muscles. Sports Massage is beneficial for aiding recovery, preventing injuries, and managing ongoing issues related to physical stress.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a soothing treatment designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve built-up tension in the body. The pressure can be adjusted to suit your preferences, whether you prefer a lighter touch or deeper pressure. This type of massage is perfect for calming both the mind and body, allowing you to unwind and take time for yourself.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a fantastic way to ease tension, alleviate discomfort, enhance circulation, and help prepare your body for birth. We provide a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or you can choose to have the massage while lying on your side or seated. Your safety and comfort are our main priority! If you have any concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we’re more than happy to assist—just give us a call, and we can discuss this with you in detail.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy builds upon the techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with additional qualifications that provide access to a wider variety of treatments. These include advanced techniques like dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy, and TENS. Myotherapists also possess in-depth knowledge of exercises designed to strengthen or stretch muscles, customised to your specific requirements. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists aim to enhance your muscle function, helping you move more freely and feel great.
