Treatments

A remedial massage includes an initial postural assessment and a discussion about any muscular pain concerns and desired treatment outcomes. Remedial Massage can be light massage or deep tissue massage inclusive of trigger point therapy and myofascial release of muscles, joints and tendons in the body.

Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up underlying tissues such as the fascia ( connective tissue ) and muscles, blood and other fluid, close to the surface of the skin. Most manual techniques are based on compression of the muscles and other tissues, such as deep tissues techniques, soft tissue mobilisation and joint mobilisation techniques, whereas myofascial cupping works by creating suction of the cup to produce negative pressure or tensile stress and the lasting effect of this is what is typically seen to be therapeutically beneficial. Cupping works by stimulating inhibitory neural pathways, altering pain thresholds, promoting blood circulation, relieving swelling and increasing tissue temperature.

Dry needling is a treatment performed by skilled, trained therapists, certified in the procedure. A thin monofilament needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. 

Contrary to its name, sports massage is suited to anyone who exercises, even those who do easy-going exercise like walking. It is designed to prevent and relieve injuries and conditions that are associated with exercise and can be quite vigorous to relieve stress and tension in the soft tissues.

This kind of massage can treat sport related injuries such as shin splints, tennis elbow, dance injuries, sprains and strains, corked thighs etc.

• Deep muscle compression and friction along the grain of the muscle
