Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue treatments need specific and firm pressure to penetrate deep within the muscle tissues, to help release waste products or tension build up that may have occurred.
In deep tissue treatments the practitioner may use either, their knuckles, forearms, elbows, palm or fingertips to perform different techniques.
This massage helps to break up fibrosis that binds one muscle to another, which then assits in stretching, lengthening and releasing muscles at a deeper level.
Remedial Massage:
Remedial massage is all about providing a remedy: healing through palpation and manipulation. Not only can remedial massage speed recovery of muscular and joint problems, it is essential for stress relief; helping muscles to relax and repair. Research has also shown the positive impact remedial massage has on osteo-arthritis.
Many people suffer on a daily basis with muscular and joint problems and simply accept these conditions as part of every day life when they don't have to. As much as remedial massage can help specific injuries it is also an excellent method of injury prevention: a monthly 'MOT' for your body can help ensure you stay in the best health possible.
Everyone can feel the amazing benefits from remedial massage. Our therapists look forward to working with you in order to help your body restore health and balance.
Pregnancy Massage:
On discovering the wonderful news you are pregnant it is unsurprising that you instantly become more bodily aware. Not only is your body rapidly changing in a way totally foreign to first time mums, but no doubt hormones are causing emotional highs and lows that you can never predict!
These are the months when you realise your body is not just yours anymore and everything you do has an impact on your baby growing inside you. Regular massage throughout your entire pregnancy will ensure a much more enjoyable pregnancy from start to finish.
