Massage North Brisbane

Remedial Massage

This massage uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body's own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Key benefits include stimulation to the blood supply, removal of toxins and calming of the nervous system to ease pain and discomfort.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an invasive procedure in which a thin filament needle is inserted into the specific skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. This action creates a mechanical response, which results in the stimulation of tissue. Tissue stimulation leads to physical and psychological responses that promote balance or healing within the body. Many factors will determine how many treatments. Recommended treatments should be 3 to 4 weekly or fortnightly sessions depending on the severity of the condition and the client expectations.
