Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage Therapy is an individually tailored treatment aiming to restore function and reduce discomfort. It's a form of manual therapy that involves holding, moving and applying pressure to various muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. It may not be as relaxing as your regular massage but it can provide impressive results.
Remedial Massage can be utilised as a preventative measure to avoid injury and improve performance or play an important role in rehabilitation. Most commonly though, remedial massage is used to help with the common aches and pains from poor posture, muscle imbalances or chronic pain/injuries.
A remedial therapist can use a variety of special tests and soft tissue techniques to help alleviate the condition presented during consultation. Client knowledge and awareness is both vital for client consent, but also for overall improvement. As a client, it is hard to fix a problem when you don't know or understand why it's happening.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is a form of massage treatment that provides relief to pregnant mothers throughout their pregnancy journey. A trained therapist takes into account the many changes occurring in the body as well as the positional needs depending on the trimester and comfort levels of the client.
Pregnancy massage can help alleviate the common symptoms and side effects of pregnancy including hip pain, sciatic pain, back pain, swelling and fluid retention, carpal tunnel and more.
You may be wondering what makes a pregnancy massage so different and why it's important to have a trained therapist perform your treatment. During pregnancy there is a new range of contraindications and potential 'red flags' your therapist has to consider for the health and safety of the client and their baby.
Your therapist will also modify the techniques they use and the pressure application as some are not suitable during pregnancy and may cause the client more harm than improvement.
It's important to speak to your doctor if your considering getting a pregnancy massage, particularly if you're experiencing added complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, etc.
Whether you have a specific area that is bothering you or you need an overall relaxing experience to help decrease your stress, a pregnancy massage can be tailored to your needs.

Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a specialised massage designed for clients living with cancer or undergoing cancer treatment. It is a way for individuals to reduce stress and help improve their their mental wellbeing while going through a difficult time.
A trained therapist will take into account the type of cancer, the type of treatment if the client is undergoing any and any medications the client may be one to customise a safe and suitable massage. The aim is to provide a calming effect on the body and mind and provide a moment of peace for the client.
There is a lot of misinformation regarding massage and cancer, but it's important to note that there is no evidence that massage can cause cancer to spread or metastasise. In fact massage can help alleviate symptoms of nausea and pain, improve sleep, provide neuropathy relief and aid in lymphedema management.
