Sports Therapy

Sports therapy is the prevention and rehabilitation from injury. Injuries can range from minor muscle strains, to ligament and muscle ruptures even back problems.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is designed to help people prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. But you don't have to be in to sports to benefit from a sports massage. It is also good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion.

Kinesio taping

The Kinesio Taping Method is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion.

Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage

This a very old art that has been practised for many years in market squares and on street corners in India. Ayurveda is the traditional, medical science of India and Nepal. Stimulation of the scalp’s circulation can help tone the muscles, relieve eye-strain and headaches, improve concentration and boost the immune system. It can also eliminate muscular tension and restore joint-movement by stretching and mobilising the tissues of the neck and shoulder.

Chinese Foot Massage

Traditionally, the massage begins with the pleasurable soaking of the feet in a wooden barrel or foot bath containing herbs chosen specifically for the client. The heated mixture warms the feet. After the client’s feet have been rested and refreshed, the masseur spreads a thick layer of lotion on the feet and calves and then rubs and kneads every point of the soles.

Japanese Face Massage

The Japanese believe that beauty is more than skin deep, and that to be beautiful you have to be healthy too. Japanese face massage works on many levels from the inside and the outside. By working superficially, skin tone & lymph flow can be improved. As the therapist works deeper muscular tone can be affected which then prepares the face for working on meridians. By working along the meridians, the treatment can affect the balance of health in the whole body. Additionally the treatment can effect the appearance of the face as the massage encourages removal of waste products. Also some people experience an natural facelift from this treatment as the massage can prevent lines, wrinkles and puffiness.
