Sports Massage & Injury Rehabilitation

Sports massage can contribute to recovery between training sessions and sporting events, enhancing performance through improved movement and energy. This increases your ability to build a more balanced strength and reduces your chance of injury. 

Restrictions in your muscles will cause an imbalance when you train. This can result in reduced performance, weakness and injury. Including massage as part of your training schedule can improve your form and increase your training ability. Sports massage has a targeted approach to addressing pain, restoring function and increasing range of motion to: 

• Determine the source of the pain/limitation

• Release areas which have become restricted

• Activate locked muscles

• Restore flexibility and movement to shortened muscles

• Strengthen weak muscles

Myofascial Release Therapy

The fascial system consists of the supportive connective tissue “wrapping” that gives us shape, allows or restricts movement and supports the skeleton. Restricted fascia limits movement, causes instability, chronic pain and a feeling of heaviness in the body.
Myofascial Release is beneficial for:

• Relieving chronic pain

• Balancing posture

• Increasing tissue hydration

• Improving range of motion

• Ease of movement

• Improves spring and resilience in movement

Lymphatic Drainage

A gentle treatment aimed to assist the body’s immune system, reduce excess fluid and calm the nervous system. Lymphatic drainage is recommended for those needing to detox the body, eliminate excess fluid and aid in the recovery from illness and post-surgery.

Chiropractic

Our 30 and 60 minute appointments allow for a thorough assessment and treatment. Assessment is aimed at determining how your issues are affecting your daily life and include range of motion, muscle testing, orthopaedic testing and neurological examination (as appropriate).

Our Chiropractor uses a range of techniques including:

Pregnancy Massage

Remedial and Swedish techniques are used to help relax tense muscles and improve circulation and mobility. This can help treat sciatic pain, headaches, peripheral swelling and other symptoms brought on by the changes to the body during pregnancy. We use the pregnancy Belly Pillow allowing complete relaxation during the treatment. This treatment is suitable for all stages of pregnancy.

Swedish and Relaxation Massage

Swedish Massage uses gentle, flowing techniques to increase oxygen supply and blood flow to muscles to help alleviate pain and tension. It improves circulation, calms the nervous system and promotes relaxation.
