MASSAGE THERAPY AND REMEDIAL BODY WORK

MASSAGE THERAPY
AND REMEDIAL BODY WORK

What is the difference?

Massage releases tension and reduces mental stress which promotes feelings of well being and vigour. It will have a calming effect on the nerve endings which reduces stress and enhances relaxation, increasing the blood flow around the body which aids the removal of waste materials, which if left can cause stiffness and pain.

Remedial body work, or sports massage as it is also known, is designed not only for athletes but those who lead active, busy and physically demanding lifestyles. It is also a complementary treatment to other therapies including Chiropractic and Osteopathy.

The treatment includes slow, deep muscle releasing techniques combined with mobilising and stretching which aim to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions and to stretch and realign areas of shortened, tangled muscle fibres. This will also enhance flexibility and reduce the risk of injuries in the future.

  • Postural evaluation
  • Muscle testing
  • Neuromuscular techniques
  • Muscle energy techniques
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Pain control techniques
