YOUR BODY IS DESIGNED TO HEAL ITSELF!

Alternative health practitioners like Massage Therapists can often speed up and increase your chances of recovery by using proven techniques that will increase your body's own natural ability to heal.

Massage is essential to help you feel better, recover faster and have long lasting effects that are natural and drug free.

In today's society, where stress related, psychological and physiological health problems are common, massage plays a significant therapeutic role.

To increase your health and wellbeing, a regular massage relaxes the body and mind. It can resolve soft tissue pain caused by strain or injury or from just day to day living.

Massage Therapy helps relieve stress and pain and increases your bodies own natural ability to heal.

Remedial Massage Therapy is one of the most effective ways of managing many injuries and health issues and often results in a quicker recovery.

WHAT IS A MASSAGE THERAPIST?

In the case of an injury, a massage therapist can provide exercises and stretches to lessen or eliminate problems.

WHO CAN USE MASSAGE?

Everybody can benefit from regular massage, from babies to the elderly, to sportspeople, labourers and office workers! You don't have to be suffering from any soreness � a regular massage is the key to better health.

WHAT TYPE OF MASSAGE DO I CHOOSE?

Depending on your personal needs, a massage therapist may use one particular massage modality, or combine various modalities. They will always provide the massage treatment that is best for your individual circumstances.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Massage stretches muscles, inhibits muscle spasms, increases flexibility and helps break down scar tissue. Therefore, it can help you recover from injury, either from an accident, sport or surgery.

A neck and shoulder massage can also alleviate repetitive strain injuries resulting from poor posture or sitting for long periods of time.

If you play sport, regular massage can help prevent injury. A remedial massage therapist can develop a massage program in conjunction with your training to maximise your performance and rehabilitation.

RELAXATION MASSAGE

If your physical or emotional health is challenged, massage can eliminate the production of stress chemicals in your body.

So, if you're feeling under pressure, wind down with a soothing massage to feel revitalised.
