Remedial/Deep Tissue Massage
Focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, by either following or crossing over the muscle fibres, fascia and tendons. This type of massage therapy is usally used to address specific problems associated with chronic muscular pain, injury rehabilition, sporting and occupational injuries, RSI, and physical and mental fatigue. The techniques can include Trigger Point Therapy, deep tissue massage and stretching thereby creating an improved range of motion through the joints. It's important to drink plenty of water after a deep tissue session to help eliminate toxins from the body.

Oncology Massage
Massage is one of the most universally used methods of healing the body. It feels good after a stressful day at work or as part of a spa outing, after a 26-mile marathon or digging in the garden. Infants thrive from massage, as do elders. Touch is an essential part of life that should be received at every part of a person’s life, no matter what, including cancer treatment or recovery from it.
Naturally, the person in chemotherapy isn’t going to be given the same massage as the person who has just completed a triathalon. Adjustments will be needed. But with the right adjustments everyone with cancer or a history of it can receive massage.
Many of us, when we think of massage, relate it to sore muscles or a chance to unwind. For the person in treatment for cancer or recovering from it, massage takes on other meanings. As well as massage being used to work out knots, detoxify the body, or increase range of motion, massage becomes a strategy to lower anxiety and pain, improve energy, or decrease nausea.
