Trading hours that suit.

Our Services
Myotherapy (Muscle Therapy)
Myotherapists are muscle specialists who use a variety of techniques to decrease muscular pain, and restore and maintain the healthy integrity of muscles. These techniques include deep tissue massage, corrective exercises and dry needling (using acupuncture needles to treat muscular trigger points).
A large part of a myotherapy treatment focuses on releasing the trigger points or “knots” that are found in muscles, to decrease muscular tension and soreness.
Myotherapy can be effective in the treatment of:
- Stress and muscular tension
- Neck and back pain
- Sports injuries
- Headaches
- Tension from repetitive work activities
- Decreased joint movement and stiffness
- Tennis elbow, sciatica and frozen shoulder
- Pregnancy-related muscular soreness
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a light-pressure massage performed in a particular sequence to encourage the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. MLD assists with decreasing fluid retention and swelling around joints after injury, and increasing immunity. MLD can also be useful in the treatment of conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. QUALIFICATION DETAILSClare Sullivan: Ad. Dip. Myotherapy (2005)
