​Compression Massage

​Rhythmic compression into muscles used to create a deep hyperemia (increased blood flow) and softening effect in the tissues. It is generally used as a warm-up for deeper, more specific massage work.

​

Cross-Fibre Massage

​Friction techniques applied in a general manner to create a stretching and broadening effect in large muscle groups; or on site-specific muscle and connective tissue, deep transverse friction applied to reduce adhesion's and to help create strong, flexible repair during the healing process.

​

Trigger Point Massage

​This uses combined positioning and specific finger or thumb pressure into trigger/tender points in muscle and connective tissue, to reduce the hypersensitivity, muscle spasms and referred pain patterns that characterise the point. Left untreated, such trigger/tender points often lead to restricted and painful movement of entire body regions.

​
