Remedial Massage Therapy

Remedial Massage/Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through deep pressure on the affected areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons. This type of massage usually addresses specific problems associated with chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilitation, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI and physical and mental fatigue. Techniques can include Trigger Point Therapy, Sustained Myofascial Tension Technique and Stretching thereby creating an improved range of motion through the joints.

Sports Massage focuses on prevention and healing of injuries to muscles and tendons. A combination of massage, trigger point therapy and stretching that help athletes to perform at their best. Sports massage is not limited to athletes and is beneficial for anyone who is physically active.


Swedish Relaxation Massage is known for specific therapeutic benefits. Primarily it speeds the venous return from the body’s extremities. It improves circulation, stimulates the skin and nervous system while at the same time relating the nerves themselves. Swedish Massage reduces stress, both emotional and physical and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
