REJUVENATION MASSAGE

Rejuvenation massage is for anyone who wants to float out of the clinic room. A range of reassuring and smooth strokes are designed to lift you from a state of tension or depletion to the pleasurable state of complete relaxation and peace. Rejuvenation work is as gentle or firm as you wish, always focusing on a soothing and restful experience. By placing yourself in the caring hands of another you are given the freedom to safely drift away.

Rejuvenation massage is suitable for pregnancy, prolonged stress, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, migraine recovery, sleep deprivation and depression.

TREATMENT MASSAGE

Treatment massage addresses specific problem areas of the body. It aims to release muscular pain and stiffness through a combination of massage, movement and gentle stretching. This massage may include deep tissue work, myofascial and trigger point therapy. Deep tissue massage may provide a more intense experience but this will always be kept within your comfort levels.

Treatment massage can be very effective for relieving neck, shoulder, lower back and hip pain, headaches and jaw pain, and for alleviating general feelings of muscular heaviness and fatigue.

ONCOLOGY MASSAGE

People often ask if massage is safe for cancer? And the short answer is “Yes.” Michelle is a trained oncology massage therapist and is able to provide you a safe and effective massage at any stage of the cancer journey:  before, during and after treatment, in remission or at the end stages.

Oncology Massage may be quite different to your understanding and experience of massage. It offers a very gentle and simple touch with long, slow, soothing strokes and holds. This allows you connect with your body in a kind and healing way and people are often pleasantly surprised at the depth of the experience.  This type of massage is also suitable any time your body is in a fragile state.

Michelle is likely to include techniques from other modalities such as Myofascial Release (slow stretching of the tissue surrounding your muscles), Holistic Pulsing (gentle rocking of the body to assist muscle release), Myofscial Unwinding (gentle, still-hand work) and Lymphatic Drainage as required.
