Massage, Stretching & Rehabilitation
The Clinic of Massage offers a holistic approach to massage therapy that takes into account the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the body. Massage therapy is a powerful tool for relieving stress, anxiety, improving posture, helping with delayed on set muscle soreness (DOMS) from gym exercise and restoring balance in the body. My experience as a massage therapist is to use a variety of techniques to help my clients achieve their desired results. Whether you're looking for a full-body massage, a specific area massage, or something in between, I'll work with you to create the perfect treatment plan.
Massage therapy is a natural, non-invasive method to relieve pain, promote healing and improve wellness. But if you're fortunate enough to not suffer from aches and pains, massage therapy treatments can help towards minimising the risk of injury while promoting good internal health. Massage therapy helps to stretch stiff muscles, including injuries from sports activities, work or home. Massage therapy also helps relieve stress, anxiety and boost you immune system.
The Clinic of Massage is the perfect experience for therapeutic relaxation! My professional massage service offers an array of services tailored to your individual needs, from sports recovery to deep tissue massage. Come give me a try and feel the difference.
Experts say there's an overlap between Swedish and Deep tissue massage techiques. The biggest differences are the depth of pressure used and the perceived intensity.
Swedish massage is a form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration, and tapping to help relax and energize you. Deep tissue massage, on the other hand, uses more pressure and focuses on deeper layers of muscle tissue to help relieve chronic pain and tension. Deep tissue massage should not be a painful experience. Both are great for relaxing.
Swedish Massage vs Deep Tissue Massage.
Some benefits Swedish Massage Therapy are:
Increase blood flow and endorphins.
Reduce Stress.
Help towards a good nights sleep
Improve your immune system.
Open joints and decrease swelling (which will ease movement and increase flexibility).
Rehydrate your skin.
Some benefits of Deep Tissue Massage Therapy are:
Increased range of motion.
Lower blood pressure and heart rate.
Reduce pain perception.
Relief of chronic and low back pain.
Can help reduce arthritis symptoms.
Help to improve posture.
Aid in the recovery of muscle damage & injuries.
It should be noted that if you have muscle soreness before treatment, you could feel tender to touch at the start of the session, but you shouldn't feel active pain. If you do, you should tell your massage therapist.
Do not suffer in silence!
At The Clinic of Massage I offer sports massage therapy services to help people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re a professional athlete or an occasional gym-goer, my sessions are designed to help you reach your fitness goals. I believe that physical activity should be a part of everyone’s daily routine and that sports massage therapy can be a great way to help improve performance and reduce injury risk. I am professional and here to help you reach your goals and make the most of your physical activity. Many people assume that sports massage therapy is for people that are regularly active, but that's not true. It's also beneficial for inactive people to help release painful tension and recover flexibility. Sports massage can be used before or after exercise, or as part of a training program.
Sports Massage Therapy
Deep Tissue, Sports Massage or Remedial, What's the difference?
Deep tissue massage, sports massage, and remedial treatment are all types of therapeutic massage that focus on different areas of the body and use different techniques. Deep tissue massage is designed to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, while sports massage is geared towards athletes and focuses on preventing and treating injuries. You don't have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage. If you live a sedentary lifestyle because of working conditions or home life, you too can benefit. Remedial treatment is a more comprehensive approach that aims to address a range of musculoskeletal, including chronic pain and postural problems.

Fun Fact
A 60 minute massage can feel the same as 8 hours of sleep to your body!
Good flexibility is known to bring positive benefits in the muscles and joints. It aids with injury prevention, helps to minimize muscle soreness and improves efficiency in all physical activities. Increasing flexibility can also improve quality of life and functional independence. Good flexibility aids in muscle elasticity and provides a wider range of motion in the joints. Unfortunately flexibility is generally not a focus of most people and it is underestimated how much regular stretching is essential for optimum health and activity. Research studies have shown that you are at higher risk of injuries when doing physical activities, if you're not taking part of a regular stretch program. Reports have also shown that people who do regular stretches throughout the week, increase in both strength and endurance gains as well as improved flexibility and mobility.
