Remedial Massage
A specific treatment focusing on releasing areas of chronic pain and tension incorporating trigger point therapy and corrective exercise techniques. The therapist works deeply, freeing up any adhesions and deactivating trigger points (points of intense pain when stimulated) in the muscles and fascia. An extremely effective treatment for chronic conditions resulting from stress, overuse, injury or poor posture.
Swedish / Relaxation Massage
A gentle and flowing treatment aimed at improving circulation, and easing sore and tired muscles and bringing about a state of relaxation. The therapist maintains body contact at all times during this massage and the strokes are long, broad and repetitive allowing the body to gently let go and relax. Great for sluggish circulation, tiredness, sore stiff muscles and deep relaxation.
Aromatherapy Massage
This technique was developed in France and is a gentle and specific treatment which works on stimulating the lymphatics allowing you to benefit from the inhalation and absorption of a blend of essential oils designed especially for you. The therapist uses gentle and repetitive movements along the various lymphatic pathways, assisting with lymph movement and bringing about a state of deep relaxation. A blend of oils will be chosen on the day with you in mind. Excellent for emotional and energetic healing, deep relaxation, poor immune function, anxiety or simply to recharge.
Pregnancy Massage:
A massage specifically designed to ease the aches and pains of this special time. Your body goes through a lot of changes which can eventually lead to some discomfort. The treatment allows you to relax whilst working on those sore areas around your neck, hips and lower back, and gentle lymphatic drainage techniques assist with swollen legs, feet or ankles.
Manual Lymph Drainage
A gentle yet extremely powerful modality , Dr Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of lymph flow.
This stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the defence of the body and removes waste products, reducing swelling and boosting the metabolism and immune system. MLD has been proven to reduce the symptoms of lymphodema, sinus problems, acne, post surgical swelling, cellulite, general sluggishness and poor immune function.
Botanical Facials
A gentle non-invasive treatment which gently cleanses, exfoliates and moisturises the skin,
a gentle face massage is included which allows for the drainage of toxins from the neck and face, calming the skin and reducing any puffiness, bringing about a state of deep relaxation leaving you glowing inside and out.
Great for dull tired skin, swelling, puffiness, general relaxation and treating that special someone.
What can I expect from a treatment?
My treatment focuses on finding those all elusive spore spots, working on the cause of the pain, not just treating the symptoms - getting you moving again as quickly as possible.
Will it hurt?
Hopefully not! I will endeavour to work within your comfort zone, to ensure that you are able to relax into the pressure that may be required to work on some of your tighter spots. Always let your therapist know if it's too firm - we can't always tell and there's no need to suffer in silence!
What about the next day?
It's different for everybody, there is no one size fits all, a lot of toxins are released during the course of the treatment which can result in residual soreness. This is quite normal and should wear off in a couple of days. Make sure you drink plenty of water post treatment, and it's even better if you can take a hot bath with some epsom salts the same evening.
What if I can't make my appointment?
I would ask that you please ring me and give me as much notice as possible - preferably more than 24 hours - that way I can always book in other clients. Of course I understand that things can come up during the day of the appointment, when this happens please just ring and let me know as soon as you can.
Did you Know?:
Massage works on bringing blood and nutrients back to damaged tissue, speeding up the repair process, giving you greater freedom of movement and helping to rid you of those chronic aches and pains.
The Clinic
The clinic is conveniently located on Victoria Road with Bus Stops immediately outside - which means you can hop straight off the bus from work and be on the table forgetting about the stresses of the day in 5 minutes!
It is located in a quiet and secure building and you will be the only person being treated at one time in the practice, ensuring that you receive the individual attention you deserve.
Testimonials
Here's what some of my client's have to say.........
"I came to see Gwen for severe lower back and neck pain, after two treatments the pain had gone and has stayed away, I’m happy to recommend Gwen." Pat, Wareemba
" I received a seated massage from Gwen at a local fair and mentioned an ongoing problem I’d been having with numbness, weakness and pain in both hands for over a year despite undergoing physical therapy. Gwen suggested a course of treatments – after 6 sessions my hands are now back to normal, when the problem does flare up again I can treat it myself with the simple exercises Gwen gave me to do at home. I would highly recommend Gwen’s treatment. Esther, Beecroft.
"I came to see Gwen for a massage. My neck had been hurting and I was adjusting the way I sat and turned to compensate for the pain...felt like a trapped nerve. My calves were also sore (high heels)
After the treatment I felt so relaxed....and pampered but more importantly my neck was no longer hurting and my calves felt loose. I felt very at ease with Gwen...I didn't feel pressured to chat or unsure what she was going to do. Gwen asked me lots of questions before she started to find out how I would like to be treated and if I had a preference for gentle or high pressure massage if I had any twinges or areas I wanted to concentrate on. Gwen explained what she was doing and why. ....I loved the treatment and recommend her to all my friends." Sarah, Leichhardt.
"I came to see Gwen for a massage and at the time I was experiencing weekly headaches, after just two treatments the headaches had gone – I now rarely suffer but when I do I book in and the headaches just melt away!" Paula, Russell Lea
" I was recommended to Gwen by my wife for general relaxation, I have been suffering from headaches daily for the last 30 years, my shoulders and neck were also extremely tight due to my long hours at the computer, I was not a big believer in massage, but I’m now a definite convert! After regular weekly treatments I stopped taking daily pain relief and have normal range of motion through my neck and shoulders, something I had given up on a long time ago! Would definitely recommend Gwen." Simon, Drummoyne
" I visited Gwen whilst up in Sydney visiting family, I was in pain and discomfort all the way down the outside of my leg and was unable to sleep and it was painful to walk, after my treatment with Gwen the pain was gone, I won't hesitate to call on her again and can recommend her without reservation." Greta, Victoria
