Remedial/Deep Tissue Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy designed to provide therapeutic benefits for your body and mind. Reduces muscle tension and spasm. Reduces mental stress and improves sleep quality.
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
This is a very specialised focused form of treatment massage therapy. Using this technique we focus on eliminating the source of the pain by engaging with the nervous system connections in the body. Provides lasting pain relief and reduction, removes trigger points and can assist in realigning your posture.
Sports Massage
Massage therapy to get you moving the way you want to move faster and with less discomfort. Not just for athletes or sports people! Can be used in a very focused way to treat a specific injury, or more generally for muscle soreness. Great either pre event or post to wind down and prevent aches and pains setting in.
Myofascial Release
Treatment of the body’s soft tissue support network. Balm oil is not normally used, but long strokes allow the muscles to unravel and unwind. Fanatic for those areas of the body that feel tight and ‘stuck’.
Trigger Point Therapy
Usually used in conjunction with NMT but can be added into most massage therapy treatments at Kawakawa Clinic. Trigger point therapy uses very focused and controlled pressure to realise point of irritation within skeletal tissues and eliminates the ‘spill over’ referral pain. Reduces ‘deep’ pain and discomfort.
Swedish/Relaxation Massage
The perfect wind down treat! Uses flowing strokes from the therapists hands, forearms and elbows with oil or balm. Gently eases muscle tension. Great for body mind and spirit relaxation!
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a very gentle, rhythmic massage designed to encourage the natural drainage of lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues so your body can eliminate them. Fantastic for pain reduction on all levels. Reduces muscle discomfort. Great for pre and post surgery. Lymph oedema. Relaxation.
Pregnancy Massage
Holistic pre and postnatal care and support. Working with you to nurture your body in a relaxing environment where your comfort is paramount.
