Services
Physio Massage
Our physio massage combines deep tissue techniques with clinical physiotherapy to address muscular tension and chronic pain. This treatment targets specific areas using trigger point therapy, massage guns, and cupping to improve mobility and reduce inflammation. Ideal for individuals recovering from injuries or managing long-term musculoskeletal conditions, this service focuses on restoring functional movement patterns and preventing future injuries through targeted manual therapy.
Dry Needling
Targeted needle therapy uses thin filiform needles to stimulate myofascial trigger points and alleviate chronic pain. This evidence-based technique effectively treats muscular tightness, joint pain, and sports-related injuries by promoting blood flow and releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals. Our practitioners combine dry needling with manual therapy to enhance treatment outcomes, particularly for clients with persistent back, neck, and shoulder pain that hasn't responded to conventional treatments.
Sports Massage
Specialised sports massage addresses athletic performance, injury prevention, and recovery needs. Our therapists employ deep tissue techniques, stretching, and percussive therapy to enhance muscle function and reduce recovery time between training sessions. This service benefits both professional athletes and active individuals, focusing on improving flexibility, preventing injuries, and maintaining optimal physical condition through tailored treatment plans that complement specific sports requirements.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle pregnancy massage supports expectant mothers through all trimesters using safe, adapted techniques that address common discomforts. This service alleviates back pain, reduces swelling, and promotes relaxation by targeting pressure points associated with pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes. Our therapists create comfortable treatment positions and use appropriate pressure levels to ensure safety while providing pain relief and emotional well-being benefits for expectant mothers.
Shiatsu Therapy
Traditional shiatsu therapy applies rhythmic pressure to meridian points to balance energy flow and relieve physical tension. Practiced on floor mats through clothing, this Japanese technique improves circulation, reduces stress, and addresses chronic pain conditions. Our certified practitioners combine shiatsu with modern sports massage principles to create comprehensive treatment plans that enhance both physical and mental well-being through targeted pressure application and body alignment techniques.
