Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is aimed to break up muscle tension, adhesions and scar tissue. These issues are usually found within the deeper muscles of the body. It is not uncommon to feel a degree of discomfort during a deep tissue massage treatment due to the level of pressure required to reach the targeted areas.
A deep tissue massage can involve your entire body or just one area. Treatment areas will be warmed up using a gentle touch but once you’re warmed up, the pressure will increase to start working on your problem areas using deep kneading and stroking with varying amounts of intense pressure.
You may experience slight stiffness or soreness in the following days after receiving a deep tissue massage.
Relaxation massage
Relaxation massage is as the name suggests – pure bliss and deeply relaxing.
Relaxation massage can improve circulation, strengthen the immune, decrease stress and anxiety, aid in quality of sleep, allow for a greater connection between the mind and the body and generally create a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
Relaxation massage techniques involve the use of long gliding rhythmic strokes using a deeply relaxing pressure that nurtures and soothes. The massage strokes warm up the muscle tissue, releasing your tension and gently breaking up knots and dissolving muscle tension.
Sports massage
Sports massage is not just for professional athletes but for anyone who engages in regular sporting activities. Sport massage works with athletes to either prepare them for, or aid them to, recover from their sporting activities.
Sports massage is targeted at athletes to help prevent injuries, prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in an optimal condition. Sports massage can help athletes recover from workouts and injuries associated with high intensity training and enhance their performance.
Sports massage techniques help stimulate circulation and loosen muscle fibres that have been bound together. Sports massage can enhance flexibility and increase overall health and function.
Remedial massage
Remedial massage aims to identify underlying causes of musculo-skeletal conditions and target the treatment on the affected area to achieve a significant change. Remedial massage can assist to reduce pain, improve mobility, decrease tension, or any combination of those things.
Remedial massage pressure varies. It can be deep or shallow, gentle or strong. It depends specifically on the problem identified during the client intake interview.
Remedial massage involves specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and manipulate muscles and soft tissues. Some of the more common remedial massage techniques are trigger point therapy, joint loosening and passive stretching.
