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 recognised around the world as a helpful treatment for pain and can benefit most 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 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 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 is designed to work on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it especially useful for treating chronic stiffness, tension, and injury. Using slow, firm pressure, it helps release tension from muscles and tendons, improving mobility and reducing pain. This technique is often applied to areas affected by overuse, injury, or stress, and is beneficial for both everyday people and athletes.

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 gentle therapy aimed at encouraging relaxation, boosting circulation, and easing tension that has accumulated in the body. The pressure can be tailored to your liking, whether you enjoy a softer or firmer approach. This massage is ideal for relaxing both the mind and body, giving you the chance 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.

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.
