SERVICES
BENEDICT OFFERS THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:
SPORTS MASSAGEBenedict is very committed to his sports massage practice, and has recently been part of the massage team at the MONT 24 hour race in Kowen Forest, near Canberra, 2011. He has also been part of a team of therapists working on world class triathletes 2010-2011, and has developed a keen understanding of therapy work for sporting elite athletes.
Sports massage, as the name implies, is a massage style which focuses on assisting athletes/sports persons to achieve and maintain their best potential. Sports Massage combines the use of oil with large superficial strokes, pressure and deep strokes, frictions, stretching, mobilisation techniques, and client assisted stretching and strengthening exercises, specific to their sporting requirements.
Sports Massage assists an athlete to increase body circulation, flexibility, prevent injuries and promote faster healing if injuries do occur. By working with their Massage Therapist, an athlete can keep their body in prime condition.
Massage is used pre-event to assist with training and injury prevention, and post event to assist with recovery. If an injury occurs, massage is used to help with rehabilitation, and promote faster recovery, so the athlete is able to return to their training program as quickly as possible, minimising risk of further injury.
When undertaking sports massage, it is recommended to work with your therapist regularly, particularly prior to, and post events, in order to prepare and maintain your body at it’s peak performance level.
SHIATSUShiatsu is a Japanese style massage which applies pressure to acupoints. Using thumbs, elbows, knuckles etc, points are pressed and held along various qi channels (as related to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – qi being the energy in our body) to stimulate deep circulation and removal of stagnant blood and qi.
Many people find it a very beneficial massage style, as it focuses on specific points or areas that are painful, stiff, or tender, releasing them and freeing up movement and pain.
Shiatsu assessment also takes into account psychological and emotional imbalances, and uses TCM knowledge to balance these imbalances through physically unblocking tissues which may be ‘holding’ these states. Clients may sometimes experience a catharsis if they have been holding an emotional or psychological issue for a long time, which may in turn, allow them to move on from the original trigger.
Shiatsu is excellent for anyone who wishes to have a clothed massage, as it can be practised without the use of oil.
TUI NATui na is the traditional Chinese remedial massage style. The focus is on relieving physical and energetic stagnation to increase flow throughout the body. Acupressure points are manipulated together with muscle releasing techniques to allow the body to balance itself.
MOBILE MASSAGE Relax in the comfort of your own space. Benedict will provide professional massage services anywhere in the ACT. A great gift idea, or just for the convenience of having a therapist come to you.
