Treatments
Soft Tissue Therapy ( Remedial Massage)
In our assessment, treatment and management of Soft Tissue injury, pain and dysfunction, we utilise a scientific approach to mobilise the soft tissue structures of the body - muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia and connective tissues - to bring about balance and harmony and to further enhance the function of those tissues.
...............................................................
Therapeutic Massage
Massage is defined as “the systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for a curative effect.” Soft tissues are made more pliable through massage to promote circulation and blood flow and bring about healing effects - enabling physical and psychological changes for general wellbeing.

Corporate Onsite Massage
Seated Massage is a combination of Eastern and Western massage techniques in a compact, well-structured routine and covers such areas as the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands.
It can also be adapted to special needs. This takes 10-15 minutes on an ergonomically-designed chair. The procedure is completed with the recipient fully clothed, without the use of oils or lotions, and delivered in a place convenient to the client. It acts as a preventative that can head off musculoskeletal problems, reduce accumulated physical and mental tension, and increase circulation, energy and mental clarity.

What Clients Have Said ...
Carolyn & John W.
Running a busy dance company is quite hectic, conducting six dance classes weekly, plus a few private classes and the odd demo -consequently our bodies regularly get overworked. Maintaining regular visits with the therapists at Muscle Tone enables us to manage our injuries and keep on top of the load put on our bodies which we now know reduces the chances of serious injury. We highly recommend Laurie and his team to all of our friends and students.

I have been seeing Laurie for the past twelve years or so. As an active sportsman I found his desire to help me maintain my competitive edge by furthering his studies a great advantage. These days with a young family and running my own business, my need for stress management is just as critical and Laurie has the skills to help me achieve this as well!

I have had problems with my back, especially my upper back for many years. I had been previously treated by other massage therapists and only ever had short term relief. The cause of the problem was still unfixed. I was in a large amount of pain when I first started to see Laurie and quite fed up that my pain could not be addressed. Laurie spent time assessing me and was able to get to the cause of the problem rather than providing a band-aid solution. I have been extremely happy with the care and treatment I have received from Laurie and have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective customers.

As a competitive Kart racer I have found that Laurie keeps me in peak condition by identifying muscular and structural problems before they become a major problem and impede my performance levels. Thanks.

Just a short note to let you know how much I've appreciated the muscle work you have been assisting me with.
Ive had a lot of remedial massage over the last 10 years (approx) and I've never had the professional care, attention and most importantly the relief that you guys have provided me with.
I know that you guys where really the ones who started me back on the road to recovery and feeling better.
You guys helped me understand where my pain was coming from by pin pointing so many sore spots and giving me ideas on how to stretch and manage it.
I really appreciate your work and am really glad that you came across my path.
Thank you kindly.
