WHY NOT START FEELING MORE FLEXIBLE - COMFORTABLE - HEALTHY?
Maybe you've been putting up with nagging pains or recurrent tension headaches. Or 'pulled' something, gone into spasm you've overdone it at work, the gym or returning to sport. So many of us just get by and put up with sub-optimal states, till it really gets unbearable or someone else comments.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE often can relieve such suffering and increase freedom of movement in afflicted limbs or broader areas of restriction.
+ This level of therapy is also recognised by private health funds for rebates.

REMEDIAL... or Neuro-muscular-therapy (NMT)
Is an umbrella term for several advanced massage techniques which in the hands of a suitably trained and compitent therapist can be applied to acute or chronic musclo-skeletal problems.
These include:
- DEEP TISSUE, sometimes called 'sports'
- TRIGGER POINT, a very effective option for specific muscle dysfunctions
- Myo-facsial release - another specialised deep method along with, active client stretches (MET/PNF).
*This has recently been added to with training in FASCIA TAPING. If a particular movement or joint is causing pain this special taping method for decoupling neural sensors in the layer between skin and muscle has dramatically increased range and function without pain in athletes and pensioners alike!!
- By contrast, LYMPHATIC drainage massage is a subtle option for dealing with excess fluid by encouraging, recirculation detoxification and immune system stimulation. LDM* may be suitable due to slugglish systems or acute joint injury or post operative inflammation.
It can be used for a reviving and pampering experience too !!
GLIDE CUPPING - a variation/expansion of static chinese cupping methods. Offers yet another way to achieve relief and progress in muscular / skeletal ailments. The difference being that blood flow is enhanced by pulling/lifting and expanding tissue rather than the normal compressive action of massage.
*** A related benefit can be breakup and thus reduced Cellulite. Fancy Vacuum machines are the basis of expensive beauty treatments currently on offer for this problem
"Im particularly interested in sports conditions having been a regular competitor in triathlons and other amateur competitions and have had first hand experience of many injuries arising from pushing the body too hard too far, soon etc."
- Currently part of the massage team for the LIONS AFL PLAYERS.
- reserve therapist for AIS /Olympics - womens softball team .
Part of the treatment process is offering "self help" exercises and tips on daily routine modifications in order to help minimise the source of the problem, and speed up the improvements. Based on personal experience and most current research findings.
The GOAL of treatment - IS, ideally for YOU to receive a helping hand out of a body 'crisis' and then/or to enjoy a bit of maintenance, like a monthly/quarterly service to keep fresh and active week after week. NOT- for you to feel dependant on frequent intervention going on for months.
HOWEVER ONCE YOU FEEL THE BENEFITS it can get addictive!!!!!
