Hand and Stone Massage Therapy, Tugun

About Emma

The human touch is a powerful tool and, when directed through the use of therapeutic remedial techniques or the gentle approach of a relaxation massage, can produce long lasting affects on our mind and body.

My aim in a treatment is to create balance within the body and find nothing more rewarding than seeing the improvements I can make to a clients health, whether it be pain relief, relaxation, recovery or enhancement to achieve optimal body function.

I have a Diploma of Remedial Massage with over 4 years experience working in multi disciplinary clinics alongside allied health professionals. I have completed further qualifications in myofascial release, core stability and cupping techniques and am always expanding my knowledge of the body.

I have a calm presence with a firm yet gentle touch and believe that we only have one body and in order for it to last a lifetime we need to show it some respect.

Balance in life is so important, so don't forget to find what makes you feel good!

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts cups on carefully selected areas of the body where they create a suction-like action on the skin. This increases circulation in the local area, releasing stagnant blood, breaks up and expels congestion, and promotes a more efficient removal of wastes. People get cupping therapy for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Cupping Massage is often combined with remedial massage techniques.

Benefits include:

• Easing muscle or joint pain & stiffness


• Release of tension in tight muscles


• Release restrictions in fascia and scar tissue


• Improvement in joint functionality and circulation

Pre/Post Event Sports Massage

Sports Massage is a blend of swedish and remedial techniques specifically designed to cater to the needs of athletes, which is generally rendered before, during, and after athletic events to help prepare the athlete for desired performance or to relax the nerves and prevent injuries. Sports massage works to release tension in muscles, remove adhesions, and minimise scar tissue build-up. Muscle lengthening in sports massage helps restore range of motion and overall flexibility.
