Massage is defined as the manipulation of soft tissue. Therapeutic massage is probably the oldest and simplest of medical treatments.

1. Sports / Remedial Massage

In sports massage, massage techniques target specific muscle groups that are used in sports activity and are designed to benefit muscles by warming and softening tissue, realigning muscle fibres, helping to heal scar tissue, and flushing metabolic waste (toxins) from the muscles.

2. Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points are small areas of hyperirritability within any of more than 400 muscles. A trigger point is an area of a muscle that is aggravated by stress of any sort affecting the body (or mind) of the individual. After a trigger point has been identified, the massage therapist uses a pressure technique, muscle energy or a direct manipulation and stretch method to eliminate the point.
