“To keep the body in good health is a duty….otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”

Incorporating massage in your regular routine has a number of benefits. Taking charge of your health and well-being improves physical, emotional and psychological happiness. Women’s Health Massage combines Remedial Therapy, Antenatal and Postpartum treatment, and Relaxation massage all in a calming and professional environment.
Remedial Massage Therapy.
Remedial massage is the assessment and treatment of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue. Therapy aims to aid the repair of current injuries, rehabilitation and management of pain. Treatment plans are individually tailored to every client and aim to encourage the body’s own healing process.
Injured muscles can often radiate or refer pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage therapy aims to locate the primary reason for the pain, then treat the problem and the symptoms. Light, moderate and deep tissue pressure is used throughout treatment and adjusted to suit the individual. Remedial massage can also help people who suffer with chronic pain, techniques applied can improve soft tissue function and range of motion, also relieve muscle tension, spasms and reduce pain.
Antenatal and Postpartum Massage.
Antenatal Massage is a regular massage given by a Certified Pregnancy massage therapist. It is designed to be safe and appropriate during pregnancy. As the body works overtime to support the growing baby, physiological and emotional stresses increase.
Antenatal relaxation massage is a gentle treatment that can reduce emotional stress, anxiety and promote sleep. Lymph flow is stimulated. This Assists in minimising swelling to help keep you and your baby as healthy as possible.
Antenatal Therapeutic massage can assist pregnancy induced pain. As muscles soften in preparation for the growing uterus, discomfort and pain in the lower back increase. The ligaments become overstressed and the centre of gravity shifts while other muscles can become weak and uncomfortable. Antenatal massage can help decrease muscle and ligament tension, as well as restore balance.
Postpartum Massage focuses on strengthening weakened muscles, resulting from pregnancy and delivery. These benefits include:
- Releasing tension in upper back, neck and shoulders as breastfeeding is established.
- Increases blood circulation helping to eliminate excess fluids and reduce swelling, helping to improve breast feeding.
- Relaxation technique to help decrease heightened emotions due to hormonal imbalances, reducing anxiety and depression.
Relaxation.
Relaxation massage is a gentler massage. Techniques include long strokes, kneading and circular movements that flow to relieve muscle tension and enhance relaxation.
Reducing emotional stress can improve heart rate, blood pressure, digestive function and hormone levels. The calming effects of relaxation massage can help decrease anxiety and depression, boost the immune system and promote sleep.
