What techniques could I expect in a session?

A range of massage techniques are combined to provide the most effective treatment for the individual. These may include:

Deep Tissue – cross-fibre friction or static pressure using thumbs, fingers, forearms or elbows is applied specifically to areas of muscle that are restricted to release the tissue, enabling it to resume its full length and functionality.

Relaxing Massage – a gentler pressure is applied to broader areas to increase circulation and create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Myofascial Release – Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds all fibres, nerves, blood vessels and structures of the body. Adhesions and restrictions in fascia cause pain and dysfunction of muscles and joints and releasing the fascia enables the therapist to work deeper and effectively.

Trigger Point Release – Trigger points are constricted areas in a muscle that are tender to touch and produce a referral in pain. Locating and releasing these points are done through a combination of deep tissue work and myofacial release.

Soft Tissue Release - Is an advanced sports massage technique that is used to assess, stretch, and manage the soft tissues in the body, such as the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. This approach to massage can often facilitate faster healing after an injury.

Stretching – Stretches help to return muscles to their full length and flexibility. Stretching may be passive where the therapist does the work, or may require resistance or co-operation.
