Whether you need relief from pain or emotional support during a difficult time,

Massage Therapy makes a difference.

Stretch therapy(At home)

STRETCH THERAPY is a deep, full-body stretch which  combines acupressure, reflexology, Marma, Thai yoga massage, soft tissue release. It benefits everyone.

The practitioner guides the client through a series of postures, while palming and thumbing along the body’s energy (‘Sen’) lines and pressure points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.

Stretch Therapy  is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement & flexibility.

Therapeutic oil massage (At home)

Therapeutic + Deep Tissue Massage sessions blend targeted bodywork to melt muscular tension with relaxation-focused massage to ease accumulated stress.  Generally, firm/moderate pressure is used in therapeutic massage but can be adapted to a more gentle style as desired. 

Deep Tissue sessions incorporate more targeted techniques using forearm + elbow work to address trigger points, chronic tension and muscular restriction due to injury or overuse.

Upon arrival, Therapist will discuss your pressure preferences and areas that need more focus work so that your session is always crafted to your specific needs.

Benefits of oil massage therapy

  • Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings

  • Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology

  • Lubrication of the joints

  • Improved elimination of impurities from the body

  • Softer, smoother skin

  • Increased levels of stamina through the day

  • Better, deeper sleep at night

  • Remove  toxins from the body 

  • Improve  immunity, digestion, respiratory and psychological systems

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective methods of releasing the toxins from body tissue and organs. It is also known as vacuum cupping. It is a practice in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin to create suction. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to the affected area. Enhanced blood flow under the cups draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and organs towards the surface for elimination.

Some benefits of cupping therapy include:

  • promoting the skin’s blood flow

  • changing the skin’s biomechanical properties

  • increasing pain thresholds

  • improving local anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism

  • reducing inflammation 

  • boosting cellular immunity

Soft tissue release (STR)

Soft Tissue Release (STR) is a technique used by massage and manual therapists to restore normal flexibility to a muscle. It is particularly useful when a muscle becomes very tense and shortened.

STR is often used after a muscle has been ‘warmed up’ with lighter techniques such as effleurage. Your therapist may also follow STR with a more gentle, soothing technique.

Soft Tissue Release uses precise pressure combined with active or passive stretching. Your therapist will press onto a muscle to create a ‘lock’. This effectively shortens the usable length of muscle. Then the therapist will stretch the muscle, or instruct you to move to actively stretch the muscle.

Often STR will be used along the whole length of a muscle, although sometimes it will only be applied to very specific locations.

STR can be a little uncomfortable to receive and isn’t suitable for sites of recent injury. Your therapist may choose to work around an injury rather than directly on it

Benefits of STR include:

  • Reduction of inflammation of joints and heart rate

  • Improved range of motion and flexibility

  • Releases endorphins

  • Decreases muscle spasms and cramp

  • Improves oxygen flow

  • Decreases blood pressure

  • Increases haemoglobin production

  • Enhancement in athletic performance

  • Ease stiffness and pain in arthritis sufferers

  • Eases discomfort associated with pregnancy and menopause

  • Reduction in symptoms of fibromyalgia
