Types of massage available at the clinic include:

Remedial Massage: focused on injury, remedial massage assists in the removal of built up tension and scarring deep within the muscle.

Deep tissue massage: focused on deep tissues, gives a deep relaxation and stretch to the muscle. Relaxing and rejuvenating.

Swedish/relaxation: this is the most common and widely known form of massage. It incorporates a full body treatment with a combination of relaxing deep and superficial tissue massage to relax the mind and body.

Trigger Point Massage: most often used in combination with remedial massage, trigger point massage specifically targets sites of tension in muscles that form into localised points.

Sports Massage: used before and after heavy sports activity to warm up or cool down the muscles.
