Services

Relaxation Massage

A relaxation massage can be a great way to take time out for yourself. A 60 or 90 minute massage, can help lower your heart rate and help reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety. A relaxation massage predominantly uses the Swedish style massage techniques, and can be light or firm, depending on your preference.

Reduce stress
Reduce symptoms of anxiety
Improve circulation
Relieve headaches
Manage chronic pain due to arthritis

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is great for improving mobility, and even eliminating pain caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction. A remedial massage uses various techniques such as trigger point therapy, vacuum cupping, muscle energy technique and mobilisation, to identify the source of the problem, reduce muscular tension and restore joint movement to the normal range of motion. Some clients experience ‘good pain’ during a remedial massage, as the deep tissue techniques aim to get to the source of the problem and, depending on the type of issue, will significantly improve or even resolve the issue within a few treatments.

It’s always a good idea to communicate with your therapist about your level of pain and comfort with specific techniques during your treatment. Everyone is different, and your massage doesn’t need to be excruciatingly painful to be effective.
