TREATMENT & MASSAGES

SPORTS THERAPIST - Injury & Prevention & Rehabilitation)

An aspect of healthcare is concerned explicitly with preventing injury and rehabilitating the patient back to optimum functional, occupational, and sports-specific fitness regardless of age or ability. A hands-on approach is needed to assess the affected area physically and its possible cause, followed by sports Massage techniques or other alternative therapies discussed with the patient. It is commonly used for the reduction in muscle tension, pain, discomfort and stiffness after exercise or physical activity, reduced recovery time post-injury, and increased range of motion, which leads to enhanced performance and also supports relaxation and reduction in physical and psychological stress levels this also aids sleep quality.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding a heavy meal before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least four hours after the treatment to shower. Please remember to bring any medical notes you may have.

ACUPUNCTURE

Originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been around for over 2,500 years and is a technique in which the practitioner inserts fine needles into the skin to treat a health problem; the needles are manually inserted or manipulated. Commonly used for treating pain from osteoarthritis, such as back or neck pain, knee pain and other skeletal pain, it is also widely used for muscle soreness and recently gained popularity with patients suffering from cancer.


Preparation would be to book your session on a day when you don't wish to take on much stress or physical activity before or after, have a light meal two hours before your session, and avoid caffeine for two hours before and after your session. Attend your appointment in loose, warm clothing to stimulate active blood flow. Please get in touch with the therapist if you are taking any medication that may concern you.

GRASTON TECHNIQUE THERAPY (Gua Sha) - DEEP MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Graston uses tools to apply pressure and scrape the skin to relieve pain and tension. This action causes light bruising, which often appears as purple or red spots known as petechiae or sha. The name Gua Sha comes from the Chinese word for scraping. 

Physiotherapists commonly use a version of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), which is widely used to treat acute and chronic conditions such as lower back muscle strain or sprain, Achilles tendinosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical sprain/strain, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, shin splints, and golfer's elbow.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding a heavy meal before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least 4 hours after the treatment.

HIJAMA, CUPPING AND CUPPING MASSAGE

Practised mostly on a routine basis for longevity and preventive measures can also be done to relieve symptoms. It is commonly used for instant pain relief and relaxation by easing stiff tendons and muscles while removing congested blood from the muscles. For example, when cupping the joints, the blood flow to the joint increases, promoting recovery. Cupping can increase the appetite, strengthen the stomach and digestion, improve the bile flow and metabolism, relieve constipation and promote regularity of the bowels. Cupping detoxifies the skin and circulatory system by increasing the flow of blood and plasma through the veins and arteries; cupping enhances the cleansing and removal of toxins. It also improves the blood circulation and the lymphatic system.


Preparation: Fast for two hours before the session. Plain liquids, such as water, tea, and coffee, are acceptable. Shower before you come and wait at least 24 hours after the treatment to shower. Wear comfortable clothing, avoiding wool material that may touch your skin. Please get in touch with the therapist if you are taking any medication that may concern you.

MASSAGE

SWEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish Massage is a technique that promotes relaxation by releasing muscle tension. It is gentler than deep tissue Massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief. Swedish Massage is commonly used to loosen tight muscles caused by daily activities such as sitting at a computer or exercising. It can benefit people with a lot of tension in their lower back, shoulders, and neck.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding a heavy meal before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least 4 hours after the treatment.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

The technique aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension. During the Massage, the therapist will warm up your muscles using lighter strokes. Once you're warmed up, you are ready to have the problem areas worked on with deep kneading and stroking with varying amounts of intense pressure. Deep tissue Massage primarily focuses on lifestyle-problematic regions such as the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and legs.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding heavy meals before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least four hours after the treatment to shower.

SPORT MASSAGE

Initially developed for athletes to prevent and relieve injuries that can manifest after repeated strenuous physical activity or injury. However, athletes and non-athletes can gain physiological and psychological benefits from sports Massage therapy. Sports Massage often involves a fast-paced Massage, stretching and other approaches, depending on your pain. A session includes direct compression to the soft tissue, picking up and squeezing the skin and muscle, rubbing compression, cross-fibre friction to the problem area, and trigger devices used for stubborn areas. Commonly used to increase joint range of motion, flexibility, sense of well-being, blood flow and circulation, and elimination of exercise waste products (lactic acid) whilst decreasing muscle tension, muscle spasm, and chances of injury and recovery time between workout and activities.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding a heavy meal before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least 4 hours after the treatment.

BAMBOO MASSAGE - DEEP MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

Originating from Thailand, it is one of the most enhanced and powerful Massages you could have; having 10 times deeper strokes than a traditional deep Massage with the same pressure evenly applied, the client gets the best outcome. Effects of the bamboo Massage will provide all the benefits of regular Massage. Commonly used by physically active people such as runners and cyclists experiencing tightness in their legs, feet and IT band, it is also incredibly beneficial to anyone suffering from shortened muscles due to postural imbalance or stiff, sore, stubborn back pain. Physical and psychological benefits of this therapy include improving joint stiffness, sleep quality, clarity of mind, and lymphatic drainage whilst releasing endorphins.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding a heavy meal before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least 4 hours after the treatment.

SHIATSU MASSAGE

Shiatsu, which means finger pressure, is a Japanese practice derived from working with acupressure points to release Qi or pronounced Chee. It is commonly used to lift moods and relax people. It can also support people with a poor appetite, sleeping problems, general pain, or weakness. Cancer research also highly recommends Shiatsu for its patients.


Preparation involves wearing loose, soft clothing and avoiding heavy meals before or after the session. Shower before you come and wait at least four hours after the treatment to shower.

THAI MASSAGE (Thai Yoga Massage)

Thai Massage originated in India and has been practised for over 5,000 years. Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine influence it and focus on improving energy flow throughout the body. Sometimes referred to as assisted yoga, Thai Massage is commonly used to benefit people in numerous ways, including relieving headaches, reducing back pain, reducing joint stiffness and pain, increasing flexibility and range of motion, easing anxiety, and revitalising energy.

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Originating from India, it is part of the system of Ayurveda (the science of life), dating back to 4,000 years, and is now used to relieve pain and heal by balancing the body and mind. The goal is to achieve relaxation, maintain well-being, and improve the scalp and hair condition. It is commonly used for its psychological effects along with physiological effects according to the balancing of the chakras and auras to improve concentration, release endorphins from the brain, relieve tension, induce relaxation, reduce stress, increase confidence as per the removal of stress, promote calmness and tranquillity. It also exfoliates the scalp and nourishes the hair.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

Hot stone therapy dates back to many great civilisations, including the Ancient Egyptians and Native Americans, and throughout Asian history. Hot stones are dense volcanic basalt stones with a high heat retention quality to a specific temperature range before placement on the body. It is said that the power of the stones is 10 times deeper than traditional Massage and lasts 10 times longer. It is commonly used to boost your immune system, allowing you to avoid those winter colds and bugs. It may help to relieve depression and anxiety, whilst Massage alone may not conquer the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and regular Massage helps in many cases, including mental well-being.
