CUPPING THERAPY
This is an ancient form of alternative medicine, where cups will be placed in specific areas across the body to aid tension relief and increase mobility. This technique utilises a vacuum force underneath the skin where the cup has been placed. This technique will stimulate metabolic activity, improve immune function and stabilise blood biochemistry. Cupping has also been proven to loosen adhesions across the body and increase the blood flow to the skin and muscles.
STEP 01
Trigger points and painful areas will be palpated, this will determine where the cups will be placed.
STEP 02
Cups will be placed onto the body and the air sucked out of them. This will create a vacuum inside which will aid with tension relief.
STEP 03
The cups will be left on for roughly 5 minutes and after they have been taken off that limb or the surrounding area to the cup will be mobilised.
IASTM
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation
This is a type of massage where a form of tool will be used instead of the therapists hands. These instruments allow a more direct treatment of the soft tissues involved with movement. It has been proven that after a few sessions of IASTM mobility, strength and pain perception can be significantly improved.
PERCUSSION THERAPY
This is a type of massage which uses rapid and repetitive pressure combined with vibration therapy. Percussion therapy penetrates deeper into the muscles which will intern stimulate chromatin, this will then increase blood flow, which will carry more oxygen and nutrients to sore muscles.
TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
Trigger point therapy is a type of therapy designed for correcting muscular imbalances and relieving pain. This type of therapy will involve applying constant pressure to areas of muscle tightness. Often this pain will be referred and felt actually in another part of the body. When the trigger point is released, your muscles will relax which will allow fresh blood flow. Quite often an increase in range of motion will be noticed after the treatment too.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
STEP 01
The area will be palpated to determine what cut of tape will be best for that area.
STEP 02
The tape will be cut to suit that area and then the limb/surrounding area cleaned to ensure the tape will stick.
STEP 03
The tape will be stuck and then the client will be asked to move to ensure it is not too tight and full range of motion can still be completed.
ACTIVE RELEASE THERAPY
Active release therapy is a manual way to release tightness and pain associated with adhesions in the muscles and connective tissues. Often this type of therapy may be uncomfortable at first but that will often fade after a few minutes. Active release therapy will also increase range of motion and flexibility.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can get a massage?
Generally, massage is safe for most people, however there are health factors which are known as contraindications which can restrict massage for some people. These will be spoken about during the consultation and the therapist will outline what treatments are safe for the client.
How will massage help me?
Massage will relax muscle tissue which will increase range of motion, joint spaces and a decrease in nerve compression. By keeping up with regular treatments massage will reduce pain and improve functions throughout the body. Massage is very good for reducing stress levels too.
Can I workout on the same day as my massage?
You can, however to get the most out of the treatment it is not advised. The advice from the therapist is to normally take it easy for the next 24 hours to let the body recover after the treatment.
Will a massage hurt?
There are points that throughout the massage it may be painful but it is important to speak to your therapist throughout the treatment so they can gauge what is too much. Trigger point therapy and cupping therapy are normally more painful than the massage itself.
How often should I get a massage?
Generally the advice from a therapist will be to have a treatment every month. Different factors will influence the length between each session but normally to keep in good health once a month is advised.
What is the difference between a deep tissue massage and a sports massage?
A deep tissue massage will focus on releasing tension throughout the body, whereas a sports massage will focus on certain areas that may have suffered from overuse, this type of injury may have caused a strain or a sprain which will need specific soft tissue treatment.
What kind of training have you completed?
I have completed my level 3 & 4 sports massage with a structural rebalancing module in there too. I also have qualifications to complete the following treatments; Kinesiology taping, Vacuum/Fire cupping and a Rockblades course.
These will often be used during treatments to help with injuries and niggles that struggle to release off by hand.
Will I come out of the treatment battered and bruised?
Generally the answer will be no. However if you have cupping then there is the potential for marks to be left for the coming days. These are not anything to worry about, they are just where the cup was placed to release tension in the muscle.
