Services
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Therapy targets chronic pain by addressing nervous system imbalances through soft tissue manipulation. This approach re-educates muscle behaviour, resolving issues like contractured states without invasive methods. Clients benefit from rapid pain relief and improved mobility through precise nerve retraining techniques.
Dry Needling
Dry needling treats muscle spasms and trigger points using acupuncture needles based on Western neurophysiology. This technique effectively releases tension in areas like calves and shoulders, providing quick recovery for desk workers and athletes alike. Sessions start at 45 with noticeable results often after one treatment.
Sports Massage
Sports massage prevents injuries by balancing musculoskeletal systems through deep tissue work. Regular sessions maintain optimal physical condition for triathletes and runners, addressing imbalances before they cause discomfort. Treatments start at 45 and include post-event recovery strategies tailored to individual sports.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage heals muscular injuries and postural imbalances by stimulating blood flow and toxin removal. This holistic treatment addresses both symptoms and root causes of chronic pain, with sessions starting at 45. It's particularly effective for office workers with repetitive strain injuries.
Running Technique Analysis
Running analysis corrects biomechanical inefficiencies using video feedback and targeted exercises. This service prevents injuries caused by improper form, strengthens key muscle groups like calves, and improves breathing efficiency through psoas muscle release techniques developed with Canadian coach Malcolm Balk.
