Services
Remedial Massage
Our remedial massage targets musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction through deep tissue techniques. Therapists assess posture and movement patterns to address chronic conditions like back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries. Using trigger point therapy and myofascial release, we improve circulation, reduce tension, and restore mobility. This clinical approach benefits office workers, athletes, and those with chronic pain, combining hands-on treatment with corrective exercises for lasting results.
Myotherapy
Myotherapy focuses on diagnosing and treating muscular pain through dry needling, cupping, and joint mobilization. Our practitioners address myofascial trigger points causing headaches, joint pain, and postural issues. Treatment includes movement retraining and ergonomic advice to prevent recurring injuries. This evidence-based therapy effectively manages chronic conditions like tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and repetitive strain injuries while improving range of motion and reducing inflammation.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses suction to release muscle tension and improve circulation. Glass or silicone cups create negative pressure that lifts connective tissue, breaking up adhesions and promoting healing. This treatment alleviates chronic pain, reduces scar tissue, and enhances athletic recovery. Sessions may leave temporary markings that fade within days, with benefits including improved flexibility, reduced inflammation, and stress relief through increased blood flow to targeted areas.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into myofascial trigger points to relieve muscular pain. This technique stimulates healing responses in tight muscles causing headaches, back pain, and sports injuries. By releasing knots and improving blood flow, it reduces chronic tension and restores normal muscle function. Combined with massage therapy, it provides effective relief for conditions like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and postural strain without medication.
Pregnancy Massage
Specially adapted pregnancy massage addresses the physical demands of gestation through side-lying positioning and modified techniques. Therapists use Swedish strokes and myofascial release to alleviate lower back pain, reduce swelling, and improve sleep quality. This safe treatment during second and third trimesters helps manage sciatic nerve pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and general muscular tension while promoting relaxation through endorphin release.
