Massage is a wonderful thing and it can it feel fantastic. It has many health benefits and is a fantastic option to facilitate your health care routine.

Therapeutically, massage can be useful in treating aches and pains, reducing your stress, improving your sleep, enhancing physical performance in sports, and can help you cultivate a peacefulness which follows you off the massage table into daily life.  If you need to prevent a pain recurring we will tailor your treatment plan to incorporate recovery, rehabilitation and to teach you how to maintain the optimal health of your body in the future. 

To get the best massage, it's important that you and your therapist arrive at an understanding of what you need during the session, and keep in mind that one day can differ a lot from another, therefore each massage can be quite different.

It is also important to know that pain in certain areas will be all about lifestyle and sometime you may need to make a change rather than just visiting us when you are in severe pain.

Whether you’re an active sportsman or woman and you want to stay free from injury or whether you spend all day at the office and need to relieve the stress of daily life, we here to help

Before your appointment, it's a good idea to reflect on your reasons for getting a massage, and what you hope to get out of it. This clarifying of intentions can deepen your understanding of what is going on inside you, emotionally and physically, so your massage can be tailored to fit. This is your part of the work, and will help your therapist do his/her part better.

That done, the rest is easy - there's nothing left to do. Just breath, relax, and enjoy!
