REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial massage helps systematically to treat pain and injury that alters the formation of muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body. It also helps to create favorable conditions for the body to return to normal health and slowly reverse the physical effects by reducing or eliminating pain. Remedial massage is designed to balance muscle tensions and soft tissues to promote and return them to normal joint, capsular and bone position by increasing the flow of blood and lymph, especially in the injured areas.
Your remedial massage therapist has the knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology to determine the most effective way to treat their patients as based on consultation and assessment on the patient’s current health status. If the patient is suitable for being treated with remedial massage based on their clinical feedback, the therapist will apply the appropriate treatment with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet, or massaging devices such as massage gun or muscle hammer.

BOWEN THERAPY
Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is done through loose-fitting clothing and normally on a Massage Table.

With improved hydration of the Fascia, toxins can be removed and nutrients are supplied to your cells. Thus having a natural homeostasis balance on your body enabling muscles, tendons, and also your nervous, hormone, lymphatic & vascular systems to function effectively.
(Fascia is Connective Tissue that is found throughout the body, it is found immediately under the skin and it surrounds every muscle, tendon, bone, and organ in the body.)
Before treatment, it is ideal to sip a least 2 glasses of water and then after your treatment continue to sip another 6-8 glasses of water, also avoid sitting longer than 20 minutes, avoid hot showers/baths, and don’t do any heavy lifting.
Through a series of selectively placed transverse muscle-fiber moves to stimulate the soft tissue (fascia) found between the muscles and skin. The effect creates a window of opportunity for the fascia to become re-hydrated which in turn assists the structures housed with this tissue. These structures include nerves, muscles, lymph, vascular structures, and organs. Improved function in these structures leads to improved general health.
