Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a treatment which aims to correct abnormalities and assist the body to return to a homeostatic state through soft tissue manipulation. Remedial massage is useful for helping joints, tendons and muscles recover from old injuries. It is also an appropriate therapy for improving range of motion, managing and reducing pain, supporting rehabilitation and helping correct postural variations. Remedial massage can also be helpful for managing symptoms of chronic illness such as pain, fatigue, stress, mood variations, headaches, migraines, nerve pain and joint pain.
Trigger Point and Deep Tissue Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a technique that works to release painful tension in muscles and fascia that you would usually experience as a knot or stiffness in the muscle. These 'knots' are adhesions or irregular tissue in the muscle and fascia. Deep tissue techniques target chronic tension in muscles that lie deeper below superficial muscles. Deep tissue techniques involve slow, direct and firm pressure, typically focusing mostly where the body is holding the most tension, which is usually a trigger point. This is also sometimes referred to as myofascial release technique.
Nervous System Focused Massage
Nervous System Focused Massage is a deeply relaxing form of massage designed to gently stimulate the vagus nerve points and assist the nervous system to move into a parasympathetic state (this is the rest and digest state as opposed to the fight or flight state that very stressed people live in). This style of treatment uses acupressure points specifically around the ears and base of the skull to allow the body to relax and enter a state of deep rest.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage can help reduce stress, relax your muscles and improve your blood flow, mood and sleep during pregnancy. Massage in pregnancy is much gentler than the type of massage you can have at other times, and should avoid certain areas of your body. Natasha is specifically trained in perinatal massage.
Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the drainage of lymph nodes and the movement of lymph fluids around the body. Lymphatic massage can help relieve symptoms of lymphedema. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. Lymphatic massage is a relaxing and detoxifying form of massage therapy.
De-armouring massage
De-armouring is a type of bodywork and somatic therapy that aims to bring awareness and connection to the body to help liberate emotional trauma from the cells. Experiences of trauma can be worked through with professional talk therapy like CBT, DBT and EMDR - however sometimes the somatic stress of trauma can manifest over time as chronic hardening, tightening, stiffening or numbness of the fascia and muscle tissue. This is sometimes referred to as "body armouring" and is thought to be the result of physical, emotional, or psychological stress that has been stored in the body causing symptoms of pain and rigidity. During de-armouring massage, myofascial release is used to bring awareness and feedback to the fascia and cells. This is thought to allow the fascia to let go of the physical tension of past experiences. Sometimes during or after de-armouring massage treatment a person can experience an emotional upwelling or 'release' of stored emotions. This is entirely normal and simple self-care practices can support the person through this release until the emotions pass.
