pregnancy & postpartum massage
Trained in pregnancy massage with Pregnancy Massage Australia (Melb), I firmly believe that every pregnant woman deserves as much massage as she wants throughout her pregnancy and postpartum.
Massage is an amazing way to relieve all sorts of pain from mild to severe, improve sleep quality,
decrease stress & anxiety and help create a wonderful connection between mum and baby.
Pregnancy is a time of great change to the body.
Sciatica, symphysis pubis dysfunction, headaches & migraines, carpal tunnel, restless and crampy legs, and neck & shoulder pain are all very common during pregnancy.
However all of these issues can be greatly relieved and reduced with specialist trained massage therapy.
Pain in pregnancy is not something that anyone should have to put up with.
Regular appointments throughout your pregnancy will have you feeling more comfortable in your body, allowing you to stay at work for as long as you want (or need) to and keep up with your other commitments whilst remaining pain free.
Regular massage therapy will keep you feeling relaxed throughout your pregnancy and gently prepare your body for labour and delivery.
Please contact us if you're looking for weekly appointments due to birthing at home or wanting to homebirth.
lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is completely non invasive, very gentle and extremely effective at reducing congested fluid. Manual lymphatic drainage massage can assist with headaches, chronic inflammation, lymphoedema, lipedema, idiopathic intercranial hypertension and perimenopause symptoms including bloating.
For complex health issues requiring decongestive lymphatic therapy and compression garments, please email for a referral to a specialist provider.
remedial massage
While remedy and pain relief is the focus of every massage,
I believe that relaxation is the key to a successful massage.
When the body and mind are truly relaxed and feel safe, the therapist is then able to create lasting improvements to the entire body.
Muscle memory means that massage is truly the only way that the muscles can relax and reset.
Poor posture, poor range of motion, restricted movement and flexibility, back, hip and neck pain, headaches/migraines, poor sleep, shallow breathing, can all be improved with regular massage (and with a bit of exercise thrown in to assist in retraining the muscles).
We specialise in treating neck pain and chronic headaches with scalp, jaw/TMJ, neck massage.
Regular massage therapy is a great way to achieve positive health outcomes, no matter what they might be.
Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD), pregnancy massage, scar tissue therapy and compression therapy all come under the umbrella of remedial massage.
Remedial massage techniques may include myofascial therapy, trigger point therapy, relaxation massage, deep tissue massage. Every treatment session is individualised.
reflexology
Reflexology is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) meridian theory and steeped in centuries of traditional healing.
At it's most basic, reflexology is massage of the feet that can help with all sorts of health issues and pain.
Various points on the feet are pressed and held to affect improvements within specific areas of the body.
Reflexology is an amazing tool for health improvement and deeply relaxing.
Plantar fasciitis can be greatly relieved with reflexology treatment as it includes a deep calf massage.
