Remedial
Remedial massage is a deep massage done by skilled hands to create the conditions for the bodys return to optimal health after injury. It is used to treat strains, sprains, broken bones, bruising or any injury where the skin is intact.

Deep tissue
Deep tissue massage (also known as deep muscle therapy) removes blockages, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesion left after injury, speeds up recovery and encourages more complete healing. It uses a technique that releases chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas, either following or going across the grains of muscles, tendons and fascia. This is a sometimes painful technique often used to treat sports injuries

Sports Massage
Massage plays a part in every form of sport or exercise. Unfortunately, many people believe aches and pains are an inevitable consequence to activity. But massage can actually reduce or eliminate what may appear to be exercise-induced pain.

It can increase endurance, control fatigue and help people feel better when used as part of a regular health program. Massage can also speed muscle recovery rates as it eliminates irritation from waste. By helping reduce fatigue and aid recovery, massage enables more productive training, with longer, more effective workouts. The ultimate spin-offs are better performance with fewer injuries.

Corporate Massage
Corporate massage is performed in various workplaces. Studies have shown that corporate seated massage can boost productivity, recharging the mind and body. It physically and mentally relaxes the employee and revitalizes them in the workplace. This cost-effective massage program of on-site seated neck and shoulder massage for either a 15 or 30 minute period is being used by many employers as incentives for new and existing staff.
