Sports massage, and deep tissue massage are used to increase flexibility and mobility, by restoring length and quality to the muscles.
Sports and deep tissue massages are not just for athletes, and can also be help to relieve other issues such as chronic pain and muscle cramping.
When there is tension or injury in the muscles, they form scar tissue which is dense and inflexible. This blocks circulation and causes pain. Sports/deep tissue massages work by breaking down these adhesions.
We also offer Cupping. This is an ancient healing technique that uses suction on the skin to promote relaxation and detoxification. There are 3 types of Cupping: Dry, Fire & Wet.
Dry Cupping is a method by which suction is created to relax and detox the body.
Fire Cupping uses glass cups and a flame to create a deeper suction to eliminate toxins that are deeper within the body.
Wet Cupping Therapy / Hijama is a natural, holistic preventative and curative treatment. The extraction of a small amount of toxic blood, acids, fats and debris from the body allows movement for healthy, oxygenated blood around the body.
Typically, regular sessions will be required to relieve your symptoms.
A one hour session is recommended.
The treatment can sometimes be uncomfortable, as it requires working on tight muscles.
Yes. Our Masseuse is highly trained to work with the muscles and heal them, rather than making injuries worse.
Not usually, there may be soreness for a day or two after the treatment, similar to an intense workout.
No recovery time is needed.
Most patients immediately see an improvement once any soreness has subsided, but it usually takes several sessions to permanently relieve the condition.
This depends on the condition, which may be permanently cured, or may be an ongoing issue which requires continuous treatment.
