Deep tissue massage is a technique that’s mainly used to help treat musculoskeletal issues, eg strains and sports injuries.

It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.

It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses very light pressure along with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. It is known to have a positive effect on people with fluid retention/puffiness (oedema) and also problematic skin (including cellulite).

It is also recommended for individuals who suffer regularly from low energy or common illnesses related to their immune system.

Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, and improve circulation.

It encourages the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body.

All of this helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury.

Dry needling treats muscle tissue using thin sterile stainless steel needles.

Its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function.

I rarely do this as a stand alone treatment, it is usually incorporated into a massage therapy.
