Pregnancy Remedial Massage
A pregnancy remedial massage provides comfort and restorative support to help alleviate some of the strains that pregnancy can place on the body. There are many physiological, structural and emotional changes occurring daily when you’re pregnant. From growing pains, weight gain, hormonal changes and an increasing dropping of the pelvis. Massage therapy may provide significant relief.
Sports Remedial Massage
Our remedial sports massage is designed to cater for professional athletes, weekend warriors and office athletes (someone with an injury from excessive desk work). Our highly experienced remedial therapists use a mixture of remedial, sports and deep tissue techniques to achieve your specific outcome.
What To Expect In Your First Remedial Massage Session
At your first session, your therapist will take your case history to establish when your pain first started, what your symptoms and concerns are and how they may have changed over time, the treatments (if any) you have received to date, and the impact your pain may be having on your life.
After identifying the soft tissues that are tight or dysfunctional, your practitioner will set treatment goals, with the ultimate goal being to restore maximal, pain-free movement to your muscles and joints.
The treatment techniques your therapist will use in fulfilling this goal include:
- Effleurage Techniques (long strokes designed to lengthen tight muscles)
- Cross Fibre (designed to increase blood flow to the area and initiate the healing process)
- Trigger Point Therapy (isolating a knot and applying pressure until the knot releases)
- Swedish (long, kneading strokes combined with rhythmic tapping strokes and movement of the joints)
- Relaxation (slow techniques designed to settle down your nervous system and reduce stress)
