Remedial Massage

The history of massage can be traced back as far as 300 BC and is perhaps the oldest and simple form of therapy. 

A Remedial Massage is great for relaxation, chronic and acute pain relief and neuromuscular realignment. Research has shown that massage improves circulation, relaxes muscles, aids digestion, stimulates the lymphatic system, and improves fatigue, insomnia, headaches and stress related problems.

Massage techniques include sequences of movements including effleurage, deep friction, vibration, percussion, and tapotenent (cupping, hacking and pounding) and rotary motions all of which have a profound effect on the body.

Massage is not only for aches pains and incurred injuries, but can improve performance and wellness in both the sporting arena (as a preventive to minimize muscle and tendon injury) and the personal sector (prior to exams, corporate presentations and pre wedding demands).

Specifically deep tissue massage has been found to enhance athletic performance. By reaching the exercise damaged muscles, the deep probing stimulates circulation, increases lymphatic flow, breaks up fibrosis that binds one muscle to another, relaxes muscle spasms and relieves pain. All without Drugs!

Massage appointments are best scheduled for the end of or on non work days and are aided by good pre and post treatment hydration.
