Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is one of the most popular forms of massage therapy as it addresses the aches, pains and injuries many of us seem to fall prey to at some stage in our lives. Remedial massage is a varied therapy and combines a number of different techniques such as massage, trigger points, myofascial release and lymphatic drainage techniques to work on damaged or sore muscles, soft tissue or joints. Remedial massage can help stimulate blood supply to damaged muscles and joints, which can help remove toxins that have built up. Massage is very relaxing and relieves stress and so is good for the nervous system.

Corporate Massage

Having fully qualified therapist regularly at your work place will help relieve tired, stressed, tense workers, and influence better quality of productivity. Though stress can keep people on their toes and play a positive role in helping with force, energy and alertness, beyond a certain point , stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationship, and your quality of life.

It has been prove that when you are overly stressed your body produces hormones that put up barriers and block creativity and performance. Breath quickens, muscles tighten and blood pressure rises. “That is why massage is a part of the body maintenance process to a happy, healthy life”.

Cupping

Cupping is a healing therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine that works by stimulating the meridians, the subtle channels of energy that run through the body.

Cupping is one of the best deep-tissue therapies available. It is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep from the external skin. Toxins can be released, blockages can be cleared, and veins and arteries can be refreshed within these four inches of affected materials. Even hands, wrists, legs, and ankles can be ‘cupped,' thus applying the healing to specific organs that correlate with these points.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an invasive procedure in which a thin filament needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofasical trigger point. A myofasical trigger point is a focus of small muscle fibre contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. They often occur as a result of neuromuscular dysfunction and in areas of musculoskeletal stress.

Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Neuromuscular dysfunction and imbalances are thought to be a primary contributing factor to the symptoms. Such conditions include, but are not limited to neck, back and shoulder pain, arm pain (tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, golfer’s elbow), headache to include migraines and tension-type headaches, jaw pain, buttock pain and leg pain (sciatica, hamstrings strains, calf tightness/spasms). The treatment of muscles has the greatest effect on reducing pain mechanisms in the nervous system.
