Massage Therapy
Massage is not just a luxury. It's a way to a healthier, happier life.
The Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
A massage calms the nervous system, improves blood circulation, lymphatic circulation, relieves muscle pain, and helps with pain management in conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and muscle spasms.
Our Massage Therapies
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a technique that’s used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
Sport Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage therapy which utilises deep tissue techniques, with the aim of reducing muscular tension, discomfort and pain.
Although sports participants benefit from sports massage, this method of massage isn’t restricted to sports participants, as the deep tissue massage techniques can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, such as:
Muscular and joint injuries such as sprains and strains,
Postural related pain,
Headaches,
Repetitive strain injuries,
Back pain,
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a form of massage therapy which involves decompressing soft tissues, (unlike other forms of massage which instead compress), by using a vacuum suction.
The process is in the name - the cup gently sucks your skin and LIFTS underlying soft tissue into the cup. It has a range of benefits, including the relief of pain, decreasing toxins, and improving circulation.
A fantastic way to restore balance in your body, cupping is great no matter who it’s for, from those currently training, to anyone just wanting to relax and unwind!
