Our services include:
Remedial Massage:
Remedial massage involves the systematic assessment and treatments of a person’s muscles and other soft tissues in order to recover from injury, assist in rehabilitation and manage pain. The focus of these massages is to restore a person to healthy function through balancing muscle/soft tissue length, tone and tension.
This helps to return affected parts to their normal positioning, increase the flow of blood and lymph and remove blockages, damaged cells, adhesions and scar tissue that result from injuries and overuse.
A remedial massage therapist has a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology that assists them in determining the required treatment. Before any treatment is done, a thorough assessment and consultation is performed to determine a client’s health status and suitability for remedial massage.
A comprehensive treatment plan is then formulated by the therapist who will select appropriate techniques with clinical expertise and apply them in way that suits the client’s needs.
Relaxation Massage:
This is the perfect treatment for anybody looking to treat themselves after a hard day’s work or in general need of some pampering. This luxurious style of massage utilises slow, rhythmic strokes in order to help calm a person’s nervous system and help them let go of any unwanted tension.

Feldenkrais:
The Feldenkrais Method is a movement-based therapy that helps to alleviate muscular tension and pain, as well as improving posture, balance and coordination. We don’t just focus on the symptoms that result from injury and overuse but rather look at how each part of the body is contributing to a movement and then address the imbalances.
It utilises principals from engineering, biomechanics, child development, neurological research and psychology as well as influences from martial arts, yoga and the Alexander Technique.
Feldenkrais work is done in two different formats.
1. Private one on one sessions
You receive attention on your own personal issues via one on one hands-on treatment with a practitioner.
Feldenkrais sessions are performed with the client fully clothed, usually lying on a table as well as in sitting and standing positions. At times, various props (pillows, rollers, blankets) are used to support your body or to facilitate certain movements.
This process of discovering new movements and refining old ones will allow you to move in more intelligent, effective and efficient ways, making everyday activities much easier.
2. What does a group class involve?
Once your one on one sessions are complete, you can continue the process of improvement with our group classes.
Feldenkrais classes involve lying, sitting or standing on a mat and following a verbally directed movement sequence. Each movement lesson addresses a functional movement skill such as bending over to pick something up or getting up off the floor with ease.
Attention is drawn to each movement pattern and through the process of observing and adjusting, you will learn how to make even the most difficult movements with quality and ease.
Functional Remedial Massage:
A Functional Remedial Massage incorporates all the usual elements of a standard Remedial Massage but incorporates the functional focus of the Feldenkrais Method as part of the treatment.
Sessions involve the treatment of soft tissue dysfunction as well as a focus on balance, posture and coordination. This is perfect for not only treating pain, restriction and injury but for identifying the cause and preventing recurrence in the future.
