Your choice of relaxation, deep tissue, and pregnancy styles of massage.
Relaxation Massage
This style of massage is designed to both relax and invigorate you. It combines a series of long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration and mobilisation of soft tissue to help release the pressure that accumulates in your body.
Benefits of this style of massage include increasing the oxygen flow and circulation of the blood, shortening recovery time from muscular strain, gentle stretching of ligaments and tendons, skin stimulation and calming of the nervous system. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.
Deep Tissue Massage
As the name implies, deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is often a firmer, more therapeutic style of massge, applied to access the deeper sections of thick muscles.
Deep tissue massage uses compression and friction techniques along the grain of the muscle to manually ‘break down’ adhesions (knots) and allow the body to release the muscular tension.
This style of massage will effectively loosen muscle tissues and stimulate blood and oxygen circulation. It is both corrective and therapeutic and may be applied to various physical problems, including sports injuries and chronic pain.
Pregnancy Massage
A gentle form of massage specially attuned to the needs of a pregnant woman.
Your massage will include your choice of relaxation and remedial massage techniques to assist with the aches and tensions of pregnancy.This style of massage is performed by specially trained therapists and is safe to apply until full term.
The extra weight gained throughout pregnancy can often cause a shift in the centre of gravity.
This commonly translates into extra physical stress on the body that may be easily alleviated through pregnancy massage.
Your pregnancy massage is tailored to provide you with greater comfort. It can be performed using a pregnancy support cushion or side-lying.
Regular massage throughout the pregnancy is also said to shorten labour time and the return to optimal fitness after birth.
