Relaxation Massage

A Smooth, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation, range of movement & relieves muscular tension. Relaxation massage allows the person to slowly relax while I perform a smooth flow of strokes in a calming environment.

Deep Tissue

Is a combination of relaxation massage techniques coupled with a more detailed approach to addressing specific body areas. "Deep Tissue" would impy more pressure and pushing deeper, this is actually not how this form of massage is. DT Massage is about being able to truly have the surface anatomy respond in a way that enables the muscle tissue to relax to such a point the inner fascia can be reached. Reaching the deeper muscles lets go of tension, increase blood flow & expand its surface mass.

Remedial

Includes components of Relaxation & Deep Tissue massage with additional techniques enabling a detailed and specific treatment based on working with the body's muscle mechanics. Specific assessment & treatment procedures are performed from a clinical perspective & may involve considerable history taking & diagnostic analysis. This is conducted to look at the movement & function of muscle groups.

Testimonials

“I was recommended to Tara through a mutual contact. Since being massaged by Tara, I am reassured that my injuries, muscular tiredness, muscle cramps and stress relief have had the best attention ever. 

 

Over many years I have attended several different types of massage, and none more effective, than those of Tara’s. Her hands work marvels, not only at the time of the massage, but the after effects of the massage are rewarding. I find that I can always bounce back into my exercise regime with confidence after a massage, as the massage is thorough and effective along with being a crucial tool in my stress management kit.

 

For the past 6mths I have also been taking my teenage son to see Tara. My son is progressing through the early stages of a football career and now relies on Tara to prepare him for his football games and assist with his recovery, her massage is now a pivotal part of his regime.

 

Tara always has a happy smiling face, the environment is comfortable and safe which all contributes to a wonderful effective, relaxing massage experience.”
