SPECIALTY MASSAGES

Remedial Massage

• A massage with a therapeutic intent, this massage focuses on systematically working the muscles and soft tissues to aid and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. Usually done with a firmer and deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy and specialised areas that require remedy.

• Regular remedial massages can reduce residual tension from everyday wear and tear. It also helps promote better coping mechanisms with the physical demands that arise from physical stress, postural imbalances, discomfort of injuries, strains and chronic pains.

• PRIVATE HEALTH FUND REBATES AVAILABLE. Please refer to your policy before booking.

Relaxation Massage

• This is a perfect massage to provide a relaxation from daily stresses of life.

• Done in slow and rhythmic strokes, this massage creates a parasympathetic response to the body - giving it permission to let go and experience a deeper sense of relaxation.

• The pressure can be firm but not hard and recommended for everyone who needs to soothe, ease and recover from mental and emotional stresses.

Cranio Sacral Therapy & Myofascial Release

• Cranio Sacral Therapy traditionally focuses in the head, spine and sacrum, but it not limited to those areas, nor is it limited to the physical.

• Both CST and Myofascial release facilitate a space to access the self-corrective and self-healing processes of the human body.

• The hands on technique is different as this modality focuses on the application of a gentle sustained pressure for a period of time (generally 3-5 minutes, sometimes even longer) to create lasting and more permanent changes in body alignment.

Intra Oral & TMJ Release

• In a specialised and stand-alone treatment, this pertains to using myofascial release around the face, jaw and in the mouth to address and release the TMJ area.

• This may arise from grinding the teeth, clenching the jaw, over-using the chewing muscles, dental work and the natural tension building up around the area.

• Superficial releases around the TMJ and face can also be applied along with the remedial massage treatment.
