SERVICES
Remedial/therapeutic massage is a proven therapy dating back hundreds, maybe thousands of years, to help with the ailments and injuries of humans.
Benefits of massage therapy include:
Increase in overall general circulation, to help with growth repair and nutrition of the body
Lymphatic flow and drainage, to help filter out toxins from your system
Muscle and tissue flexibility, keeping your body soft and pliable
Breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions, especially important after muscle damage through injury
Release of overall tension in the body, leaving a general sense of wellbeing and calmness
Techniques used include deep tissue work, muscle stripping, effleurage, fascial shifts, along with stretching.
Myofascial/CranioSacral Therapy
*A gentle approach to treating the body, mind and soul.*
Myofascial Release Therapy
Every muscle of the body is surrounded by a smooth fascial sheath. The body, in fact, down to the cellular level is surrounded by fascia. Fascia is a tough connective tissue that forms a mechanical continuum, extending throughout the entire body. It is woven together with the bones to create the moveable frame which supports our posture. Restrictions of the fascia can create pain and/or malfunction throughout the body.
Myofascial release therapy is a hands on three dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system. It aims to eliminate fascial restrictions and facilitate the emergence of thought patterns and programming that may be impeding the repair and recovery process. The goal of myofascial release is to elongate and soften the connective tissue, creating length and width.
CranioSacral Release Therapy
The Cranio-Sacral system is a core system in the human body. Cranio-Sacral work traditionally specialises in the head, spine and sacrum, but it is not limited to those areas, nor is it limited to the physical.
This therapy attempts to engage clients in their own healing, both physical and emotional, accessing clients’ own self-corrective and self-healing processes.
Infant Massage
Benefits include
Stimulation of all physiological systems in baby
Relaxation of both carer and baby
Relief of some ailments
Interaction with baby, promoting the bonding process of carer and baby, through touch, eye contact, voice
