Myofascial Dry Needling
Myofascial Dry Needling is a treatment that uses fine filiform needles which are inserted into a trigger point or knot to help manage pain and release muscle tension.
These trigger points are commonly formed during a 'guarding' response which can occur from stress, poor posture, injury and muscle strains.
Dry Needling commonly helps to:
- Relax muscle spasms
- Release trigger points (knots)
- Pain Relief
- Reduce Inflammation
- Improve local immune/healing responses
Remedial Treatments
Remedial massage is used to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes. The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem.
Through the use of different techniques such as trigger point therapy, the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. These referral patterns aim to trace the original reason for the pain, defining Remedial Massage as tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms.
Remedial Massage is commonly effective in treating:
- Neck, shoulder or back pain
- Sports injuries
- Headaches/migraines
- Arthritis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Nerve and Shoulder Impingements
- Chronic Pain
- Sciatica
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under the skin. Your body treats the cupping area like an injury as it sends more blood to the area to stimulate the natural healing process.
Cupping is most efficient in helping to:
- Reduce Pain
- Decrease Inflammation
- Increase Relaxation
- Improve Circulation
- Aids with the removal of toxins
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a very slow and soft treatment, specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. Therapy is applied to your unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area, or “decongest” the region. MLD helps open the remaining functioning lymph collectors and move protein and fluid into them, as well as to help speed up lymph fluid flow through the lymphatics.
MLD is most efficient in treating:
- Lymphoedema
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Post-surgery inflammation
- Lipidema
- Overall health and wellness
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage involves the use of basalt volcanic rocks gliding across the surface of the skin to massage the muscles within the body.
During the massage, stones may also be placed on specific parts of your body to help relieve pain and inflammation.
Benefits of Hot Stone Massage include:
- Providing relaxation
- Reducing inflammation
- Relieve pain and tension
- Heal damaged soft tissue
