Massage Therapy
Relaxation massage is a form of treatment that focuses on providing general relaxation, relieving muscular tension, improving blood circulation and aiding in the improvement of sleep. Our primary goal is to assist the client in escaping the demands and stresses of everyday life.
Pregnancy massage is beneficial throughout the entire nine months of the pregnancy. At Northlakes Massage we have a number of mums who have had treatments throughout their pregnancy right up to days before the birth. Whether you need to take some stress off or get rid of those nasty lingering aches and pains we can assist.
Benefits that a mother may experience:
- Reduces swelling in hands, feet and ankles
- Lessens sciatic pain
- Eases muscular discomforts in areas like the lower back & neck. It helps with tension and tightening that can be experienced throughout the body
- Helps with relaxation which in turn can decrease insomnia
- Stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, into the brain and nervous system
- Helps relieve anxiety or depression
These are only some of the benefits that assist mum throughout this special and sometimes tiring time.
Hot Stone Massage Therapy dates back over 3000 years. It was used in ancient civilisations such as India and China. North American Indians even practised it for its great health benefits. Hot Stone Massage can increase local circulation, improve blood flow to surrounding tissues, improve the bodies ability to transport toxins and waste products from the area. Another benefit is that the massage stones provide a wonderful tool that create a sense of depth in the massage without the extra pressure needing to be applied. A really great way to relax, unwind and release extra built up tension. We can practice this therapy for general relaxation or even utilise these tools as a fusion with Remedial techniques.
