Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues.

Swedish / Relaxation Massage

Swedish massage, or classic massage as it called in some countries, is a relatively gentle massage form focused on the body’s superficial layers.

Indian Head Massage

This type of massage focuses on stimulating nerves, loosening tight muscles, relaxing superficial muscles and removing physical and emotional stress.

A Indian Head Massage is a relaxing and therapeutic massage that uses gentle soothing strokes on the face, neck, upper arms and shoulders.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a form of alternative medicine massage therapy and bodywork involving the placement of a number of heated stones to the body for the purpose of pain relief, relaxation and therapy.

This type of massage incorporates using heated basalt stones with traditional massage techniques. Basalt stones are hardened dark volcanic lava which holds heat extremely well.

A Hot Stone Massage is beneficial for those suffering with pain, injury or those looking to relax. The heat penetrates deep into the muscles, relaxing them whilst helping with blood flow. During this process toxins are flushed away more quickly.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup. How does it feel? Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful.

Sports Event Massage

Pre Event

Pre Event Sports Massage can help the performer prepare for their specific competition or event by focusing on specific muscles and joints for optimal performance. Pre-event sports massage can be considered from two days to just two minutes before an event. A pre event massage incorporates more stimulating techniques to increase circulation and flexibility in order to give a better performance.

Post Event

A post event massage, however, is a little more relaxing and aims to help the muscles recover. The parasympathetic nervous system regulates emotions felt in the body. Receiving a massage after exercise or competition helps to decrease stress levels allowing the body to relax physically and mentally. A post event massage is performed up to 72 hours after exercise.

Gua Sha

Gua sha , is part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in which a tool is used to scrape people’s skin in order to produce light petechiae. Massage oil is applied to your skin, and then uses the tool to repeatedly scrape your skin in a downward motion. Gua sha is intended to address stagnant energy, called chi, in the body that practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation. Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage therapy is a natural modality for improving the function of the body, reducing pain, and lowering stress. Prenatal massage is a type of massage therapy that is specifically for pregnant women.

The unique needs of each pregnant woman will determine the type of bodywork that is used during a pregnancy massage. These needs—which can be hormonal, emotional, and physical—will change throughout the pregnancy.

A prenatal massage primarily makes use of the gentle Swedish massage techniques, which provide muscle relaxation to the entire body. The techniques include various types of strokes and movements that are used.

A pregnancy massage will also cater to the unique needs of a person who is pregnant. Special care is taken to position the woman’s body using bolstering (or propping) to accommodate the physical changes that occur during pregnancy (such as the growing belly).

This can include certain body positions, depending on how far along the pregnancy is. For example, side-lying positions are normally used during the second and third trimesters. Lying on the left side is safest for pregnant women, allowing optimal cardiac function and foetal oxygenation.

Tots To Teens Massage

Similar to adult massages, baby, infant and child massage involves a combination of relaxing strokes, light kneading, and gentle squeezing. The strokes can be done throughout the lifespan, but are most common in infants and young children.

Massage helps balance our autonomic nervous system by releasing hormones. Massage may help relieve tension in a child’s body from all the stimulation and sensory integration that takes place in their daily environment.
