Massage Services We Offer

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a remedial massage technique where direct pressure is applied to certain points within the muscle tissue to release tension and alleviate pain.

Each muscle has potential trigger points that may be activated by overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress, or inflammation. These points can create pain within the affected muscle or send pain to other areas of the body.

Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is widely recognised as a helpful treatment for pain and is beneficial for many individuals.

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 therapeutic approach that targets the myofascial tissues, the resilient membranes surrounding and supporting your muscles and bones, which play a key role in maintaining the structure and function of your musculoskeletal system.

During the session, the therapist locates areas where the tissues are tight or restricted, instead of being flexible and mobile. The therapist then applies slow, consistent pressure to these tense areas with the aim of releasing tension and restoring normal flexibility and strength to the tissues.

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 designed for both athletes and individuals who place high demands on their bodies. This treatment targets areas that experience strain due to repetitive or intense movements, which are common in many sports and physically demanding activities. Each session is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and the sport they participate in, focusing on relieving tension and stress in the most affected areas. Sports Massage may be helpful in aiding recovery, preventing injuries, and treating existing issues caused by physical stress.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a gentle treatment designed to release tension, enhance circulation, and promote overall relaxation. The pressure can be customised to your liking, whether you prefer a soft or more intense massage. This therapy is perfect for bringing calm to both your mind and body, offering a peaceful moment to unwind and focus on self-care.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is an excellent option for easing tension, reducing discomfort, boosting circulation, and getting the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our wonderful pregnant clients, or the massage can be done while you lie on your side or sit comfortably. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority! If you have concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we are happy to chat with you—please feel free to call us to discuss this further.
