Treatments

Sports massage

Focusing on smaller areas used repetitively in sport or on specific injuries, sports massage can treat pain and speed up recovery. It can also be used to provide maintenance to reduce the chances of problems in the future. Often involving deeper and more intense pressure than regular massage, sports massage will improve range of movement, flexibility and increase oxygen and nutrients to targeted muscles. Used together with stretches and exercises, sports massage can be beneficial if you want to :

• warm-up or cool-down after strenuous activity

• minimise the risk of sports related injury

• improve posture or flexibility

• recover faster after activity

• reduce recovery time after injury

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage will relieve muscular tension, focus on pain that's been around for a long time and on postural issues. The use of firm pressure manipulates the deeper tissues and muscles of the body, breaks down knots, reduces the build up of toxins and increases blood flow to the muscles. Deep tissue massage tends not to be focused on a specific injury, instead being given as a full body massage or to the back, shoulders and neck or lower limbs.​ Deep tissue massage will

• reduce chronic muscular pain

• reduces stress and tension in the body, lowering blood pressure and heart rate

• improve range of motion and reduce arthritic symptoms

• benefit both physical and mental wellbeing

Corporate wellness

Fostering employee wellbeing is good for people and the organisation. It can help prevent stress and create positive working environments where individuals and organisations can thrive. Offering massage to employees either as part of a corporate event or scheduled on a more regular basis is one way to promote employee wellbeing. A massage doesn’t take a lot of time, will not interfere with the flow of your business and can be received fully clothed with no messy oils. A special massage chair is usually used, or the  employee can be seated at their desk; or very rarely, massage tables are used. The benefits of offering massage in the workplace include:

• shows care for employee's wellbeing

• reduced stress and anxiety

• improved morale and retention

• relief of muscle pain and prevents repetitive strain injuries
