Massage Services We Offer

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy involves applying direct pressure to targeted areas within the muscle tissue as part of a remedial massage, aimed at easing muscle tension and reducing pain.

All muscles have potential trigger points which can be turned on by muscle overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress and inflammation. These trigger points can cause pain in the muscle affected and/or refer pain to other areas 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 therapy that focuses on the myofascial tissues, which are the strong membranes surrounding, connecting, and supporting your muscles and bones. These tissues are crucial for the structure and function of your musculoskeletal system.

During treatment, a therapist identifies areas where the tissues feel tight or restricted, rather than flexible and mobile. By applying slow, steady pressure to these stiff areas, the goal is to release tension and restore the natural flexibility and strength of the affected tissues.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it a valuable approach for addressing chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injury. Through slow, steady pressure, this method helps relieve tension in the muscles and tendons, encouraging improved mobility and easing pain. It’s frequently used to treat discomfort from overuse, injury, or stress, making it suitable for both athletes and everyday individuals.

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 calming treatment focused on relieving tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation throughout the body. The pressure level can be adjusted to your preference, whether you want a light or firmer massage. It’s an excellent option for soothing both body and mind, offering you the opportunity to relax and take a break for yourself.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful way to reduce tension, minimise discomfort, improve circulation, and get the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or you can enjoy the massage while lying on your side or seated. Your comfort and safety are our top priority! If you have any concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to discuss everything further with you.
