What Are the Benefits?

Our massage therapy sessions are designed to meet your specific needs, providing numerous benefits, including:

  • Pain Relief: Massage therapy can help alleviate pain by improving blood circulation and relaxing tight muscles, whether you’re dealing with muscle tension, joint pain, or chronic discomfort.
  • Stress and Tension Reduction: Getting this type of bodywork regularly can significantly reduce stress and tension, leaving you feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated.
  • Decreased Anxiety and Depression: Massage therapy has been shown to lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and increase the production of serotonin and dopamine, which can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
  • Enhanced Relaxation: Beyond physical benefits, this form of bodywork promotes deep relaxation, helping you disconnect from the stresses of daily life.
  • Improved Posture: Through targeted techniques, this therapy can help correct posture imbalances by relieving muscle tension and promoting better alignment.

Tailored Techniques

Our massage therapists are proficient in a variety of techniques and will customise each session to meet your specific goals. Whether you need deep tissue work to address chronic pain or a gentle Swedish massage to relax, we’ll work on the muscles and soft tissues of your body to enhance the function of various systems, improving your overall health and wellbeing.

Please Note: We ask that all patients keep their underwear on during sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recommend chiropractic and massage therapy together?

Yes, combining the two can be highly beneficial. While chiropractic adjustments help align your spine and joints, massage therapy works on the surrounding muscles and soft tissues. This combination can enhance overall care, speed up recovery, and improve your range of motion.

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. During the session, you’ll be asked to undress to your comfort level, but you should always keep your underwear on. You’ll be properly draped with a sheet or towel throughout the session to ensure your privacy and comfort.

What will the massage feel like?

Sensations can vary depending on the techniques used and the areas of focus. You may feel gentle, soothing strokes during a Swedish massage or more pressure during a deep tissue session. Some areas might feel tender if there’s muscle tension, but it’s important to always communicate with your therapist about your comfort level. The goal is to provide a relaxing, therapeutic experience that addresses your specific needs.
