Table Massage - usually entails all of the below techniques

• Sports Therapy and Deep Tissue
• Warming the body with vigourous massage techniques and then application of deeper massage to release knots and tight muscle tissue. Often this treatment will involve longer time on smaller areas eg 1 hour on the neck and shoulders to work deeply through the muscle fibre
• Myofascial Trigger Point
• As an adjunct to your deep tissue massage or on it's own, Trigger Point therapy works by applying controlled deep pressure to key zones in the body causing release and natural healing of injured muscle groups.
• Aromatherapy & Relaxation
• Full body or part body gentle massage techniques to promote relaxation and good circulation to your body and mind Using steam, massage and hot compresses pure aromatherapy essences are worked progressively through your body.
• Bowen/Myopractic Therapy
• Bowen therapy incorporates a set of postural diagnostic methods and application of specific cross fibre (flicking) moves to realign the body.  This is often employed at the end of the massage when the body is fully relaxed.
• Hot Rocks
• Hot rocks are used throughout the treatment to warm the body and sooth muscles before and after deep work.

Pregnancy Massage

Massage can be very useful in assisting clients to cope with body changes during pregnancy. As a precaution, I do not apply aromatherapy oils, not even the 'safe' ones, but use them in the room to create a relaxing atmosphere. The client is massaged in a side-lying position (prone and supine positions can also be used in the early stages). Special attention is paid to areas of need such as the hips and gluteal areas.
