What Types of Massage Do 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.

All muscles have potential trigger points that can be triggered by muscle overuse, trauma, imbalances in electrolytes, nerve pain, stress, and inflammation. These trigger points may cause pain in the affected muscle or refer pain to different parts 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 therapy works on the myofascial tissues, the durable membranes that encase, connect, and support your muscles and bones. These tissues are essential for preserving the structure and function of the 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 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 intended for athletes and those who regularly put their bodies under high physical strain. The treatment focuses on areas prone to strain from repetitive or strenuous movements, often seen in sports and other physical activities. Every session is customised to fit the individual’s needs and the sport they participate in, with attention on releasing tension and stress in the key areas. Sports Massage can help with recovery, injury prevention, and managing existing stress-related issues.

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 encompasses all the techniques of a remedial massage therapist, with additional advanced qualifications that allow for an expanded range of treatments. These include techniques like dry needling, cupping, hot and cold therapy, and TENS. Myotherapists also have in-depth knowledge of exercises to stretch or strengthen muscles, tailored specifically to your needs. At Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic, our Myotherapists focus on optimising your muscle function, helping you move more smoothly and feel your best.
