WHAT IS MASSAGE?
Massage, or touch for health, has been practiced medicinally and therapeutically in many different settings for many centuries. From the Ancient Egyptians to the Greeks, touch was used to improve physical health and well being, as well as enhance clarity and function of the mind. Today, a more structured form of massage is still used for the same reasons, usually using one or a combination of techniques. Regular massages can be your key to better health, and you don't have to be in pain to benefit. Safe and effective, massage is suitable for everybody and every mind.

WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGE OR SERVICE WILL BENEFIT YOU?
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
This form of therapy is mainly used to help your body correct postural and biomechanical dysfunctions, recover from injury, increase flexibility and break down scar tissue. It uses a combination of techniques such as deep tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, positional release, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and muscle shifting, it also incorporates stretching and strengthening exercises when needed. Remedial massage is excellent if you're serious about improving your health and well being.
RELAXATION MASSAGE
Long flowing strokes and holistic pulsing are used to effectively manage stress, depression and anxiety, as well as relieving tension and headaches. It can also stimulate your mind and improve circulation in your body, therefore promoting an improved lifestyle.
MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
A gentle and directional relaxation technique that specifically assists pumping of the lymphatic system to drain your body of excess fluid and bolster your immune system. This is perfect for eliminating waste products from your body's soft tissues. It is also ideal if you present with acne, lethargy, stress, pregnancy, water retention, pre/post surgery and post injury.
VACUUM CUPPING
This is a traditional remedy often used in Eastern Medicine, using a small flame and static or sliding glass cups to create a vacuum. Cupping is often used in combination with massage to redistribute energy and increase circulation to the local area. This helps to speed up relaxation, and to reduce the presence of tension and trigger points. Cupping can also be used separately as an alternative to other massage techniques, perfect if you're not into pain.
THERAPEUTIC TOUCH
Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a contemporary non-invasive, holistic method of energy exchange that assists in stimulating relaxation, self healing and homeostasis. Drawn from ancient practices and developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN and Dora Kunz, a natural healer, TT was first conceived as an extension of nursing care and comes with 25 years of clinical practice and research.
Scientific research and clinical studies show that TT can promote self healing, relaxation, well being, improve sleep and accelerate wound healing. It can also help to reduce pain, anxiety, depression, fluid retention and inflammation.
A standard TT session may be performed fully clothed, seated or reclined, or combined with massage to speed up soft tissue responses. TT is an ideal health alternative for those who are uncomfortable or unable to receive touch, such as the elderly, disabled, or those in palliative care.
EAR CANDLING
This is an ancient therapy possibly dating back to 2500BC, that utilises carefully hand made ear candles to promote relaxation and well-being. The ear candles we use are individually hand made by Complete Health & Harmony P/L and were one of the first companies to have their candles TGA registered. These candles are only supplied to qualified practitioners. It is advisable that if you seek ear candling services, to ensure that your therapist is qualified and adheres to proper hygiene standards. PLease note, ear candling is NOT suitable for those presenting with ear tubes (grommets), hearing aids, infection, or damaged ear drums.
