The human body is amazingly self sufficient and massage therapy simply promotes this amazing ability, providing benefits such as improved circulation, strengthened immunity, and stress relief. Massage therapy also provides a natural alternative to problems treated with pharmaceutical aid, such as chronic pain, migraines and anxiety/depression.

Swedish or Relaxation massage utilizes flowing strokes, kneading and percussion to achieve release from stress and tension. Swedish massage focuses on the superficial layers of tissue, improving circulation and promoting lymph drainage for strengthened immunity. Swedish massage also encourages relaxation by decreasing heart rate and blood pressure, as well as increasing endorphins for stress relief.

Deep Tissue massage uses firmer pressure to target the deeper tissue structures to release tension in the muscle and fascia. Fascia is a connective tissue that covers and supports muscles, as well as binds the muscles to the skin. Deep tissue massage helps to reduce adhesion's in the muscle and fascia to loosen structures and promote pain relief.

Neuromuscular Therapy focuses on addressing musculoskeletal dysfunction caused by trauma and habits. NMT recognises the connection between soft tissue and neurological feedback, and focuses on inhibiting the pain cycle. NMT concentrates on releasing trigger points, which refer pain to other areas and can cause pain associated with toothaches, migraines, and even sciatica. NMT also works to correct the neuromuscular model, which consists of the habits acquired by individuals as a result of movement, posture, and guarding mechanisms over the years. This is done by reeducating the body and involves the active participation of the client, for optimal treatment to be obtained.
