Deep Tissue Massage targets the deep tissue structure of the fascia and muscles, referred to as connective tissue. Of the many types of massage, deep tissue focuses on the release of muscle tension and chronic knots. Deep tissue massage can break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries. A common problem is that stressed muscles can block nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go, and this will cause inflammation that allows toxins to build up in your muscle tissue.  The inflammation and toxins contribute to pain and stress. Deep Tissue Massage breaks up and releases the built-up toxins by loosening the muscles. With the toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate as they should through one’s body. Being properly hydrated before you go to your massage appointment and drinking plenty of water after one of these massages is highly recommended. The strokes used in deep tissue massage are similar to those used in a Swedish Massage except more pressure is used and it uses cross grain strokes (strokes that go across the gain of the muscles instead of with the grain). As with a classic Swedish massage, you will be lying on a massage table and covered with a sheet or towel. A good way to recover from a Deep Tissue Massage is by soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salt. This soaking is recommended because it will help get more of the toxins out of your body (Epsom salt draws the toxins out into the water). Your muscles need some rest after one of these massages, even if you feel no soreness. So do not plan any activities within a day of a Deep Tissue Massage. Some people think that if you just push hard enough, a knot could be worked out in one session, but this is not the case. For built-up tension and chronic knots (adhesions) deep tissue massage is just one part of the treatment. 

What is Tui Na? Tui Na (pronounced "Twee-Na") is a type of therapeutic massage.  It's history is thousands of years old and it has developed into a highly successful and modern system of medicine.   It is one of the pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is often used in combination with other branches of Chinese medicine like acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine.   That said, Tui Na can excel as a therapy in it's own right.  It is used in all the major hospitals in China where it is so effective that it is classed as a distinct medical system in it's own right. WHAT CAN TUI NA TREAT? Tui Na can be used in a variety of situations, anything from a general massage to treatment for sports injuries.  It is particularly useful in treating pain conditions... •Neck pain and Frozen Shoulder                     •Headache   •Low energy / Poor circulation   •Digestive Disorders  •Back pain / Sciatica     •Rheumatism / Arthritis       •Joint pain / Limited Movement   •Ankle or Wrist pain  •Sports injuries   •Stress / Anxiety  •Insomnia  •Gynaecological Problems

Dry Needling Physiotherapy – Treatment DescriptionDry needling is a modern physiotherapy technique used to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve movement. It involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into tight knots of muscle—known as trigger points—to help release tension and restore normal function. During treatment, your physiotherapist targets specific areas that contribute to pain or restricted movement. The needle stimulates a healing response in the muscle, increases blood flow, and encourages the muscle to relax. Many people experience immediate relief, improved mobility, and reduced stiffness after a session. Dry needling is commonly used for: Muscle tightness and spasms Neck, back, and shoulder pain Sports injuries Headaches related to muscle tension Joint pain caused by muscular imbalances This therapy is safe, evidence-informed, and often combined with hands-on physiotherapy and exercise for long-lasting results.
