Everyone knows a massage can be relaxing but do you really know the main benefits and effects it can have on your body?

Some of the benefits of massage

Reduces muscular aches and pains

Improves joint mobility and flexibility

Reduces and helps eliminate pain

Improves blood circulation

Improves lymphatic drainage

Not only is massage therapy an effective way to help soothe sore muscles and improve blood flow, it also doubles as a powerful natural stress reliever for many people.

Throughout history massage has been employed to improve recovery time, restore energy, manage stress and ease body aches. 

The first records of massages date back over 3,000 years to Ancient China, and today massages are considered to be one of the longest-standing forms of “healing art”.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues. It is used to help realign tissues back into normal form. A deep tissue massage is used to help relief pain and stiffness. Deep tissue massage techniques are applied with deep pressure and at a slow rate to areas of tension and pain in order to reach deep muscles and fascia. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down hard areas of rigid tissue called adhesion and relieve pain.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is a massage type that is designed to treat both deep and superficial tissues. Remedial massage has a wide range of skilled techniques used to manipulate soft tissues. Remedial massage can be used specifically for relaxation or to reduce pain and normalise the body's muscles and soft tissues.
