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.
Sports Massage
Includes components of Relaxation & Deep Tissue massage with addtional techniques ideal for trreating muscles in relation to their adaptive fuction. The term sports is not limited to sport itself but is a way of treating that is supportive of a body that may be more active & under more daily pressure.
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.
Strength & Conditioning
Refers to the practical application of resisted movement to help clients work on their strength & stability, supporting them to have the ability to actually maintain the new prescibed posture.
If required I will provide self stretching & strengthening exercises & programs. I will assess your posture & you will be required to perform a full ART (asymmetry, range of motion, tissue texture) assessment. The steps to support postural correction should be as follows: Treat the tight muscle, stretch the tight muscle, activate & strengthen the weak muscles.
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.
In-Services
As a Paediatric Massage Consultant (PMC) I can visit health clinics, hospitals & other organisations to provide 1-2 hour information sessions on infant massage for employees. These sessions cover benefits & research information most relevant to the organisations work & can be tailored to suit staff and departmental needs.
