RELAXATION

A relaxation massage, also known as Swedish massage, is a whole-body hands-on treatment that uses gentle pressure, stroking, gliding and rubbing movements with a light oil, to help you relax. Relaxation massage is a passive treatment, where ‘relaxing you’ is the only aim.

REMEDIAL

A Remedial / Deep Tissue massage is a therapeutic form of massage therapy. It incorporates stretching, joint mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and acupressure techniques to stimulate the deeper layers of muscle tissue. These techniques relax contracted muscles, increase tissue length, increase local blood supply, release toxins, reduce intramuscular tissue thickening, de-activates trigger points, and assists in healing and scar formation. Our remedial/deep tissue massages are recommended if you experience consistent or severe pain and tension in the body, physical injury or general tightness caused by strenuous exercise.
