What is Massage Therapy?

Massage Therapy is used to promote health and wellbeing through the manipulation of soft tissues by trained massage therapists or remedial therapists. It aims to relax and ease emotional and physical stress.

Regular massage improves the body’s natural healing process and is known to relieve congestion in the soft tissues of the body by improving circulation, production of red blood cells and promoting lymph flow which enhances the elimination of cellular wastes. Massage is there to help reduce acid levels in the muscles that were formed during exercise, and aid in relaxing the muscles from tension and hypertonicity. Deep massage can separate fascia fibres and prevent the formation of adhesions. Massage can also reduce the inflammation in joints and soft tissues and alleviate or reduce pain, stiffness or soreness.

Some modalities of Remedial Massage are:

- Myofascial Release/Connective Tissue Massage
- Foot Reflexology
- Lymphatic Drainage
- Deep Tissue Massage
- Swedish Massage
- Pregnancy Massage
- Children and Older Adult Massage
