Remedial massage can be helpful in treating specific areas of muscle tension caused by stress or injury. The therapy also helps to improve circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid around injured tissues to speed up the repair process. Remedial massage can be used for relaxation and a regular treatment (approx once a month) is a great way to maintain general balance and health of the soft tissues.

Cupping is a technique found in traditional chinese medicine. The process involved attaching a plastic or glass cup to the skin using suction. This lightly draws the skin, fascia and superficial muscles up into the cup.

This technique is painless, and is very effective at increasing bloodflow to fascia and muscles close to the surface of the skin.

Cupping can also release fascia and muscle tension, aid drainage of the lymphatic system,  as well as release toxins that build up in the muscles.

Due to the suction, in some cases the skin may look red or bruised after a treatment. These marks result from the release of toxins in the cells, and usually fade in few days.
