Our Range of Massage Treatments

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a type of remedial massage that uses direct pressure on specific points in the muscle tissue to relieve tension and provide pain relief.

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.

Around the world, Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is acknowledged as an effective way to manage pain and can help 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, the therapist finds areas where the tissues feel stiff or restricted, lacking the usual flexibility and movement. By using slow, sustained pressure on these areas, the goal is to release tension and bring back the natural flexibility and strength of the 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 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 great way to relieve tension, reduce discomfort, improve circulation and prepare the body for birth. We have a special pregnancy pillow for our lovely pregnant clients, or the massage can be performed while laying on their side or even seated. Your comfort and safety is always our number one priority! If you are concerned or have questions regarding pregnancy massage, please don’t hesitate to call and we can discuss this with you further.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy incorporates all the skills and techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with the added benefit of advanced qualifications that allow for a broader range of treatments. These include specialised techniques such as dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy and TENS. Myotherapists also have extensive knowledge of exercises to help strengthen or stretch muscles, tailored to your specific needs. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists focus on improving your overall muscle function, helping you move better and feel your best.
