Therapeutic massage is a deep tissue massage ideal for treating chronic muscle tension or injuries. This massage uses firmer pressure, but there is still an emphasis on deep relaxation. Techniques used include Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, relaxation techniques and nuero-muscular therapy.



Great for treating yourself! This form of massage is essential for those who need to relax and unwind. All our massage therapists are trained in this invaluable form of massage.

Relaxation massage is a gentle, soothing massage that uses a variety of techniques in combination with aromatherapy oils to relax you as much as possible. Swedish massage, pulsing and energy balancing are some of the massage techniques that may be used throughout a session.



A Trigger Point is an area of tissue with low neurological activity that, when stimulated or stressed, becomes an area of high neurological activity with referred sensations around itself or other parts of the body.

Trigger Points are produced by muscle stress, such as overwork, repetitive motion, or sudden excessive stretching. Characteristics of a Trigger Point are a deep aching pain, limitation of motion and often weakness in the muscle.

Many common aches and pains, such as headaches, back pain and pain in the legscan be caused by Trigger Points and are often overlooked. Trigger Point Therapy can be incorporated into a massage session for your convenience.
