ADVANCED CLINICAL MASSAGE THERAPY
This type of massage uses a variety of techniques including Swedish massage, Myofacial Release work, Trigger Point Therapy and Deep Tissue massage with some advanced sports stretching techniques.
Clients will have some orthopaedic assessments and a general evaluation following a full case history, which will identify (where possible) and treat specific problems or set of issues.
Generally you will receive advice on a treatment plan, which for the most efficient outcome should be followed up on a weekly basis for the first 1-3 sessions and re-assessed each time with the aim to significantly reduce/resolve pain conditions and increase range of motion.
You may be given advice on postural awareness, strengthening exercises and stretches where appropriate, which will aid in the recovery process.
KINETIC CHAIN RELEASE
Kinetic Chain Release is a quick and effective protocol, consisting of a series of joint mobilizations and deep stretching.
It has a profound effect on the body, which is brought into balance by alleviating problems such as knee pain, hip and joint pain, pelvic disorders, shoulder and neck issues, TMJ and headaches.
The energy levels of the body will increase dramatically as it becomes balanced again, which is why it’s been used by athletes of all varieties, from rugby players, swimmers to horse riders to enhance their performance.
MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
A variety of myofascial techniques are used to effect change and balance to the body in terms of myofascial restriction, which can be the source of many chronic pain conditions, postural imbalances and compensation patterns.
Can be used as a stand alone treatment over the course of 3 weekly treatments or used in conjunction with both Kinetic Chain Release and Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy. No oil is used during this treatment.
