Sports Massage
Deep tissue/sports massage is an individually tailored form of soft tissue massage that uses specific techniques to treat the stress, tension and fatigue that occurs through occupational, recreational or sporting activities.
Although it is used by athletes before and after training and competition and during rehabilitation, many people – from the DIY fanatic, busy housewife, gardener or stressed office worker – appreciate the deep treatment offered by a sports massage therapist as they can really feel those knots in muscles being ironed out.
Deep Tissue Massage
Structural Massage uses deep tissue massage techniques to access the deeper tissues of the body as well as the myofascial connective tissues to ease restrictions and allow for greater mobility and range of motion.
Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable.
Deep Oscillation Therapy
For traumatic injuries and damage from overtraining Deep Oscillation Therapy has an anti-inflammatory and oedema-reducing effect. Areas relieved of pain are stimulated into self-mobilisation and thus return to active forms of therapy and training or activity is possible.
In contrast to externally applied, mechanical forms of therapy, eg vibration, the therapy effect of Deep Oscillation takes place in the tissue itself and works through the entire depth of the tissue.
It penetrates through all the tissue layers, the skin, the subcutaneous fat, the muscles, blood and lymph vessels and has effects on the connective tissue. As well as providing immediate pain relief, a feeling of relaxation is experienced during which time, swellings are reduced, bruises diminished, lymph drainage and flow is improved and it works at breaking down chronic scar tissue.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is what most people think of when they hear massage. Swedish massage uses a variety of techniques that are specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones while rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. The main purpose is to increase the oxygen flow in blood and release toxins from muscles.
Neuromuscular Therapy
A Trigger Point is an area of hypersensitivity that when compressed creates a referral sensation at a distance from the painful area.
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is used to deactivate trigger points in muscle, tendons and ligaments. It is also used to lengthen chronically shortened muscles and balance muscle groups, especially when working with people suffering from postural dysfunction.
Trigger Point Therapy is a bodywork technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. The purpose of this therapy is to eliminate pain and to re-educate the muscles to create pain free habits. After several treatments, the swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain is reduced, range of motion is increased, tension is relieved, and circulation, flexibility and coordination are improved.
