Remedial Massages

Remedial massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of a dysfunction, muscular tension, and/or chronic pain.

 

Remedial Massage forms a vital part of many rehabilitation programs alongside Physiotherapy, as well as a stand-alone treatment for muscle tightness and pain. Remedial massage mostly focus on specific injuries or body parts or areas in need.

 

Specialised techniques including muscle softening, deep tissue activation, lymphatic drainage, stretching and targeting trigger points will be used during this treatment, combined with a tailor made plan for your specific needs.

​

Now no longer an 'alternative' or 'complimentary' form of treatment, remedial massage is becoming an increasingly sought after, and often prescribed, therapy practice. The primary goal is to alleviate pain, restore function and enhance overall well-being. ​

The Lymphatic Drainage massage technique is a 'therapeutic' massage treatment.

​

This massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes in certain parts of the body to increase the lymphatic flow of your lymph nodes / lymphoid system, to help reduce and clear toxins in your body.

​

The lymphatic / lymphoid system is part of your body's immune system and helps fight infection. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massages can also benefit people with lymph-edema, fibromyalgia or after certain surgeries.

​

By improving lymphatic circulation, lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, boost the immune system, promote healing, and improve overall health and vitality.

Prenatal / Pregnancy massages are a safe way for women to get a massage during their pregnancy. It can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension.

 

You may get a massage after your first trimester / after the first 12 weeks into your pregnancy.

​

Prenatal massages use mild pressure similar to a Swedish massage. The therapist will focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs.

 

You can be fully or partially undressed depending on your comfort level. During the massage, you will lie on your side to receive the treatment.

​

Overall, prenatal massage aims to enhance the health and comfort of the expectant mother; supporting a healthier pregnancy and a positive birthing experience.​
