Massage Styles
Swedish/Therapeutic
This style works on tight muscles and general tension. It relaxes the body both physically and mentally. Therapeutic massage improves the flexibility of joints and increases their range of motion and improves blood circulation.
Sports Massage
Ideal for active people with fatigued muscles, minor injuries, muscle soreness and “knotted” muscles. It promotes repair, nourishment and renews body cells, reduces the strain and discomfort of training for sports people. PNF stretching, cross fibre massage and deep tissue manipulation are some of the techniques applied.
Shiatsu Style
This is a “hands on” method of preventative health care and therapy that increases vitality, relieves fatigue and stimulates the body. Pressure is applied to key points of the body.
Osteotherapy
Structural alignment of the body through massage and gentle articulation and manipulation.
Remedial Massage
This focuses on the rehabilitation of injuries to joints or muscles. A medical diagnosis from a doctor is recommended before remedial work is carried out, and depending on the nature of the problem, a series of sessions are advisable.
