Sports Massage
Many people presume that sports massage is solely for sports people – it is not! Sports massage is for anyone who desires a deep massage that really works the muscles. It’s invaluable to athletes who need pre and post event work – either relaxing or invigorating the muscles in preparation for a competition, and then afterwards flushing them out – helping the sore muscles detoxify, realign and heal in preparation for the next bout of action.
For those who don’t play sports but perhaps work in an office environment, sitting in the same position for long periods, or carrying out repetitive tasks, sports massage is ideal. It is extremely effective for loosening tight muscles and refreshing aching limbs.

Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a massage technique that provides a remedy to muscular dysfunction. It separates scar tissue and realigns muscle tissue, with an aim to restore the body to a pain free, balanced state. It uses such techniques as Soft Tissue Release (STR) Neuromuscular Technique (NMT) and Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Sometimes Remedial massage can be a little uncomfortable, but only in a way that you will instinctively know is beneficial. We will never take you beyond your limit and are encouraged to communicate freely.
We strongly encourage body awareness and self-treatment - by teaching stretching techniques that can be used outside of clinic time and focusing on investigating, and if necessary changing habits that are causing muscular distress. This maximises the effect of the treatment, making it more worthwhile for your body and more cost effective for your wallet.

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage uses similar techniques as sports massage and Swedish massage but it is a much gentler form. It aims to soothe, relax and de-stress. It’s the sort of massage your Granny might enjoy after a long day out with her Grandchildren.

A Combination of Treatments
All of these massage techniques are drawn upon to provide you with the massage that YOU want. And if you’re not sure what you want? Don’t worry, you’re in experienced hands that will quickly get a feel of what is ‘right’. The whole process is all about YOU and what is right for YOU – so please don’t ever feel like you have to put up with pressure that is too heavy, or too light!
