Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of soft tissue such as your muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia and skin. Physiological effects can help both inhibit(stop) muscle spasm or stimulate(help) to enhance muscle function.

The soft tissues of our body (muscles, tendons, and fascia) are organised in layers that need to slide and glide over one another for movement to occur normally. Lack of this ‘sliding and gliding’ can lead to restriction of movement in a body region, with the development of harmful altered movement patterns to compensate for this restriction.

Deep tissue massage Techniques that may be applied:

  • Neuromuscular Physical Therapy (NMT)
  • Muscular Energy Technique (MET)
  • Soft Tissue Release (STR)
  • Connective Tissue Massage (CTM) / Deep Tissue Massage
  • Strain/Counter Strain (SCS) / Positional Release
