INITIAL CONSULTATIONS
On your initial visit a detailed history is taken of past injuries, operations etc. and your treatment plan assessed. Generally going over the body using myofascial techniques checking where and what presents and needs attention then treating these problem areas with the appropriate modality addressing the cause of the problem not just the symptoms.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Myofascial Release is a very gentle therapy that treats the cause and not just the symptoms of most problems. The theory of Myofascial Release requires an understanding of the fascial system (or connective tissue). Fascia (conective tissue) is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a wool sweater. Fascia is very densely woven. It lines and covers every muscle, bone, nerve artery and vein as well as all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The fascial system is actually a structure that exitsts from head to foot without interruption.
In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience physical trauma or inflammation, however, the fascia loses some of its pliability, becoming tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
 Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture over time has a cumulative negative effect influencing the skeletal framework and our posture. The fascia can exert excessive pressure, producing pain or restriction of motion, affecting our flexibility and so are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.
Myofascial Release benefits the following:
- Acute/chronic Pain Back Pain & Dysfunction Headaches
- Pelvic Problems
- Pediatric Problems
- Cervical Pain & Dysfunction
- Birth and Abuse Trauma
- Restriction of Motion
- Sports medicine
- Recurring injuries
- Fibromyialgia
- And more !
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
 Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle that it is safe and suitable for people of all ages from babies to the elderly, and also in fragile for acutely painful conditions. It can be appropriate when other therapies are unsafe such as during pregnancy, after operations, accidents, falls and injury.
Cranio refers to the cranium, or head, and sacral refers to the base of the spine and tailbone. The craniosacral system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system); the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord; the surrounding meninges (membranes) that enclose the brain, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid; and the bones of the spine and skull that house these membranes.
Again this is an extremely gentle therapy where the bones of the head and face are balance and tension and strains removed.
Craniosacral Therapy optimises the bones of the skull to treat a range of conditions, such as:
- Headaches
- Ear Infection
- Bells palsy
- Cerebral palsy
- ADDH
- Dyslexia
- Autism
- Stroke
- TMJ (temporomandibular join syndrome)
- Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
- Dizziness
- Mood disorders
- And more!
BIO-DYNAMIC CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY
'Biodynamic Cranio-sacral' therapy is an extremely gentle therapy, that not only helps with conditions just mentioned but will help the body get back to its original 'health'. This therapy tunes into the fluids within the body to release the "Breath of Life" within the body and to increase the potency within the system, releasing inertia holding patterns caused in the body from trauma, thus enabling self healing to occur.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Trigger Point Therapy is a firm pressure placed on certain spots within a muscle to encourage it to 'release'. This therapy is good for releasing tight thick muscles and /or ligaments such as trapezium.
REFLEXOGNOSY
Reflexognosy is a treatment for the feet and lower half of the leg. It is a
combination of massage, chiropractic, podiatry and is applied pre and post orthotic fitting. All muscles, tendons and bones are addressed.
The fitting of Cyber-orthotics includes taking a non-weight bearing foot imprint (x2) into a foam plank which is scanned and sent to Canada with a 2-3 week turn about. (Deposit of $150 required at this point, balance to be paid when orthotics are fitted).
An extensive exercise regime for the feet is included as well as a one hour Reflexognosy treatment before recieving your orthotics and two half hour treatments one appox. ten days after the fitting and another treatment appox. one month after fitting, all for the low price of
$495. For further details please contact me.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
 Remedial massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms. It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used.
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include:
- The stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed
- The calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort
- Toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility
- Improvement to the health of the cells
- Repairing of tissues
- Easing of stiffness
- Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions
