REMEDIAL MASSAGE

You can wear whatever is comfortable for you in terms of modesty & fit. Your clothing can range from underwear to full clothing without impacting the effectiveness of your treatment.

Being hydrated leading up to your session allows your muscles to be more more easily manipulated. However don’t drink or eat too much too close to your session, as it may lead to discomfort while lying on the massage table.

The more relaxed you are the greater the positive effects of the massage on your muscles.

Your Remedial Massage session can produce feelings that can be described as pleasure to mild discomfort. For example when your muscles release and relax you can get a pleasurable feeling. When pressure is applied to your muscles to bring about that release there can be mild discomfort.

Check with your therapist as they will be able to give you the best advice applicable to you and your program. General timeframes between sessions can range from 3-7 days depending on what your previous session entailed.

Remedial Massage identifies your problem areas, then targets them with a deep therapeutic massage.

Traditional massages tend to entail a general body massage focusing on relaxation.

Dry Needling is a safe technique  performed by our highly trained & skilled therapist that uses a thin monofilament needle to penetrate your skin and treat underlying muscular trigger points. In this way it manages pain and movement problems. It is considered painless, however some twitching may be experienced

IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation. The therapy involves the use of a device, like a massage tool, that is purpose-shaped to fit the muscle shapes of your body. The tool provides enhanced deeper tissue penetration giving you a more powerful, targeted & effective massage. It aids in the removal of scar tissue & facilitates healing through the formation of new extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen.

You can wear whatever is comfortable for you in terms of modesty & fit.

Your normal gym wear is normally most suitable.

Please do not come to your session if you are unwell. Let us know & we will rebook your appointment at the next convenient time when you are better.

body scan

To get your best result and to maintain consistency between Body Scans, stick to a routine of no exercise for 3-4 hours before your session, and no liquids and food for 2 hours prior

Your body scan is a unique scan of your body. It is not an average or an estimate of what your body should be like based on a demographic such as age or weight. It provides a detailed technical analysis of your body composition personalised & unique to you

Your Body Scan provides a benchmark, a point-in-time snapshot of your body, from which your personal development can be measured. So as you work through your program subsequent Body Scans will allow you to compare your progress and performance. Your Body Scan will help identify areas of success & areas that need more attention, specific to your body. This is very different than a vague demographic estimate that can be inaccurate

Your normal gym gear or any comfortable attire is suitable to wear for your Body Scan. All metallic objects such as watches, jewellery, or belt buckles must be removed prior to your scan

There are no attachments made to your body in any way. You simply place your hands on the InBody Scanner handles and in minutes your Body Scan is safely complete

No personal information is required. The process uses it’s own internal analytics without outside input or interference. In this way there are no inaccuracies or room for input error. Your Body Scan is based solely and entirely on your body composition and so is of the highest integrity
