The Enhance Experience
In your initial appointment, I always like to begin with a chat to find out your concerns, assess and consider any areas of restriction or tension, and gain your consent for which areas to work on. I will offer advice on what I think would bring the most benefit to you in the treatment, however if you'd like to modify anything, feel welcome to let me know.
I can use different modalities such as deep tissue, myofascial cupping, hot stone therapy, and trigger point therapy to deliver the best results.
I always adjust the pressure to suit your tolerance level, we can have the music on or off, we can chat or be silent, you are welcome to have more towels over you, choose what areas you are happy to have massaged, and be free to vent, release emotion, or give as little as possible.
At the end of the day, the treatment is all about you!
Deep Tissue Therapy
Targets the inner layers of the muscles & connective tissue helping to break up scar tissue & adhesions. It also increases blood flow and reduces inflammation.
Myofascial Cupping
Almost like a reverse massage - instead of compressing the tissue, the cups lift the tissue, separating the layers and encouraging new blood flow and movement.
Hot Stone Therapy
An effective but gentle technique that softens muscle fibres, reduces stress & anxiety, and promotes sleep. The stones are made of basalt, a volcanic rock that retains heat.
Relaxation Massage
Focuses on promoting general relaxation, relieving muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and improving blood circulation. Assists in helping you gain a greater capacity for dealing with the stresses of life.
Sports Massage
Focuses on providing a specific and targeted treatment to the muscles most used for a particular sport. Often a combination of techniques are used to improve range of motion, flexibility, and performance.
