Craniosacral Therapy

"CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics.

Using a soft touch practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction."

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic Drainage Massage helps the lymphatic system work at its optimum once again. Toxins can build up in the body creating feelings of aching heavy limbs, feeling sluggish and low energy, swelling often around the feet, ankles and knees, suppressing the immune system. This massage is extremely relaxing, uses very light pressure and rhythmic strokes that move the lymphatic fluid to the organs that can properly remove these toxins and excess lymph fluid. Benefits include: reduce swelling and oedema;  improve cellulite, reduce stress and fatigue, reduce fluid retention,  treatment for lymphedema, assists with post-exercise recovery, pre and post-surgery, assist with digestive issues, reduce pain from arthritis, boost energy and reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia. This form of massage is highly recommended when lymph nodes have been removed or compromised as an ongoing support and maintenance treatment. 

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is a holistic therapy comprising a variety of techniques that help the whole body by identifying and treating the cause of the discomfort or disorder and not just the symptoms. When muscles become knotted, tense, or damaged, remedial massage provides an appropriate treatment that restores function and improves the range of movement around joints. The use of specialised techniques such as trigger point work, joint mobilisation, deep tissue, plus relaxation techniques enhance and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms to affected muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. 

Ortho-Bionomy

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive system of healing which is helpful in addressing many pain and stress conditions. Developed by Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British Osteopath, Ortho-Bionomy supports the self-correcting capacity of the person through the use of gentle movement and positioning of the body as well as light compression into joints. Ortho-Bionomy stimulates long-lasting changes by reeducating the clients body so that it can effectively maintain balance and optimal functioning on its own.
