Swedish massage
A Swedish massage is primarily the same as a relaxation massage. The main purpose will be to help promote total mind and body relaxation and increase your sense of wellbeing. Therefore your therapist will probably use a slower place and light to medium pressure. A Swedish massage will:
- Help alleviate pain
- Aid relaxation
- Enhance circulation to remove waste and toxins from the body
- Help with conditions such as depression, anxiety and stress
Sports/Remedial Massage
Sports Massage involves the manipulation and mobilisation of muscles and soft tissues for pain relief, muscle repair, health and injury prevention. Many people assume that it is only for people that are regularly active, but it also works in helping inactive people release painful tension and recover flexibility. A sports massage will:
- Prolong your ability to participate in all activities
- Improve your sporting performance
- Lessen the likelihood of injury
- Treat & rehabilitate existing injuries
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is one of the best and most effective ways to treat pain and injury. It uses firm-pressure designed to release tight layers of muscle, which develops from bad posture or injury. Restoring movement in the soft tissues alleviates pain, muscle spasm and stress from the problematic area. Deep tissue massage will:
- Relax stiff muscles to restore pain free movement
- Reduce muscle tension and chronic pain
- Relieve stress
- Un-stick tight muscles and free up creaky joints
