The massage treatments I offer include

Deep Tissue

Targets deeper layers of muscles to ease aches and pains and improve muscle function and range of movement.

Sports Massage

Pre-/post-event or rehabilitation, to help relieve muscle stiffness and pain and so improve your performance.

Remedial Massage

Using massage to remedy muscular or other physical problems.

Trigger Point Therapy

Precision problem-solving manual therapy for ‘knots’ in tight muscles.

Swedish Massage

A soothing massage promoting total relaxation for body, mind and spirit.

Indian Head Massage

a seated massage treatment for the head, neck, face, upper back, shoulders, arms, balancing the ‘chakras’ or energy centres in the body. With or without oils.

On-site Seated Acupressure Massage

A refreshing and invigorating massage for the upper body – ideal for the workplace.

Kinesiology Taping

An effective taping technique to protect and rehabilitate muscles and joints. The lifting action of the elastic tape reduces pain and inflammation, improves circulation and provides immediate structural support, allowing you to move more freely and without pain.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a specialised form of soft tissue therapy that affects and releases restrictions within the fascial network (the interconnected network of connective tissue that infuses our body and provides cushioning and support so we can move freely without restriction or pain. MFR takes time and allows the body to release tension and restriction under gentle, sustained pressure.

Best for:

Pain is Stopping Me from Getting on with My Life , Chronic Pain is Making Me Miserable Anxious, Stressed, Overwhelmed , I just need a bit of TLC

Relax

This therapeutic massage promotes a sense of wellbeing, improves the blood circulation, relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system.

I use oils and a combination of slow, deep and repetitive strokes to massage any areas of tension, especially the feet, hands, head, neck and face. I can also combine passive joint movement, light energy work and acupressure to help you relax.

Therapeutic massage stimulates the production of the body’s own ‘pain relief’ (hormones such as endorphins and serotonin) and suppresses the production of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

Refresh

Aside from the sports massage I offer a seated acupressure chair massage or Indian head massage that is great for the workplace, at events, or in the comfort of your own home.

On-site or seated acupressure massage is a refreshing and invigorating massage for the upper body that’s ideal for the workplace. I use a combination of massage and acupressure techniques to work on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands and scalp while you sit in a specially designed massage chair.

The massage is done over your clothes without oils, so it is convenient in the workplace or at home if you can’t make it to me. You can go straight back to work or get on with your daily life feeling revitalised.

Repair

Remedial massage simply means using massage to remedy muscular or other physical problems and you don’t have to be a sportsperson to benefit from a remedial deep tissue massage. Any repetitive overuse of your body can cause pain and stiffness that can be treated quickly and effectively.

This treatment combines deep tissue massage, neuromuscular techniques (great for chronic injuries or any non-acute pain), joint mobilisation and stretching (great for improving range of movement and rehabilitation following injury) and manual lymph drainage (great for acute injuries and swelling).

Used as pre and post-event sports massage, the repair treatment can help you prepare for an event or to aid recover and rehabilitation.
