Adelaide Bodywork & Massage Therapy

Welcome to Adelaide Bodywork and Massage Therapy!

---

Adelaide Bodywork and Massage Therapy is a small business operating from rooms at The Eternal Spirit in Goodwood South Australia.

I developed an interest in the healing properties of massage many years ago and found it beneficial on several levels. Regular massage provided healing when
I was participating in long distance cycling events. Regular massage also gave me time out and allowed me to relax and reconnect with myself, something not easy to do in this hectic world. My interest grew and I decided to study massage therapy, opening the door to another world.

Every massage is different and sometimes a client who enjoys regular deep tissue work or trigger point therapy just needs time out and a deep relaxation massage. I have trained in Adelaide and Queensland in order to get a broad knowledge of different techniques to offer this variety.

I find nothing more rewarding than to help a client achieve relief from a tight, stressed out body and find peace and relaxation.

Services we offer

---

Relaxation Massage
A completely relaxing massage using long stroking techniques to relax your mind and body. Designed to reduce tension and relieve muscular fatigue, a Relaxation Massage is the perfect treatment for a weary mind or body.

Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points can occur in muscles and they often refer to pain in other areas of the body. A common example is headache thought to be induced by stress or tension. Palpating and treating trigger points in the upper back and neck often relieves this headache pain. The purpose of Trigger Point Therapy, in this case, is to eliminate pain and to re-educate muscles. Trigger Point Therapy can also help to ‘un-knot’ muscles and to assist with improving flexibility and range of motion.

Myofascial Release
A gentle blend of stretching and massage, Myofascial Release Therapy uses hands-on manipulation of the entire body to promote healing, release and pain relief. This therapy is based on the concept that factors such as poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can cause the body to become mis-aligned. Using this gentle bodywork technique the therapist ‘listens’ to the client’s body to facilitate postural change and wellbeing.

Sport Massage
A special form of massage that is used typically before and after athletic events. Whether working out in the gym or competing in sporting events, this massage prepares you for peak performance. Sports Massage drains away fatigue, reduces muscle tension, relieves swelling and promotes flexibility to help prevent injuries.

Ka Huna Massage
Ka Huna bodywork, also known as Hawaiian Temple style massage originated in the South Pacific where it was used during Rites of Passage as a transformational massage and healing system. It provides an holistic approach to healing by balancing the body-mind and its physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions. Working with energy while applying soft and deep tissue massage, the practitioner uses their hands, forearms and elbows. Ka Huna bodywork is the ultimate massage experience.

Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle form of massage using slow, rhythmic strokes aimed at assisting the body’s detoxification process. This gentle and relaxing massage, when used regularly, can assist in helping to improve the immune system, circulation, relieving fluid retention, relieve sinus congestion and help provide relief to some allergies including hayfever.
