Massage Treatments

Swedish massage Therapy

Swedish massage is designed to relax muscles using oil to facilitate long, gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques, helping to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of the muscles. It's aim is to "unstick" the fibres of a muscle while releasing chronic patterns of muscular tension, using slow firm strokes, using fingers, thumbs elbows and forearms, either by following or going across the fibre's of the muscles ,tendons, ligaments and fascia.

This type of massage can cause some soreness during and after the treatment, as it usually focuses on more specific problem areas. However, you should feel more alleviated within a day or two. This is a very beneficial treatment for chronic conditions

Sports Massage Therapy

Sports Massage uses aspects of Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage that can help alleviate tension and stress which builds up in the body's soft tissues during physical and mental activity and can help heal minor injuries and scar tissue, caused by overuse and overexertion.

Sports massage therapy is more adapted for athletes to deal with the effects of athletic performance on the body. It is generally used, before, during and after athletic events, to prepare for peak performance, reduce muscle tension, relieve swelling, promote flexibility and prevent injuries.

Sports massage can also help prevent the nuisances of injuries that can so often get in the way of performance and achievement irrespective of whether a person is an athlete or a couch potato.
