myotherapy
This type of massage usually occurs after an injury has been sustained. It is important that the injury is assessed as soon as possible with one of our physiotherapists. The longer an injury goes untreated, the longer the recovery time due to secondary problems occurring by the muscular and skeletal compensation that takes place. After the initial consultation with one of our physiotherapists the massage therapist will act on the advice of the Physiotherapist during the course of massage, offering you a complete service.
Warm oil and hot towel therapy compliments this massage along with dry needling or Chinese cupping if deemed necessary by the masseur.
30 minutes – $50.00
45 minutes - $65.00

chinese cupping
Cupping is said to help improve circulation and to open the lungs, draw toxins out of them, towards the skin surface and to facilitate better breathing. Cupping can be effective for a wide range of ailments, including edema, swellings, asthma, bronchitis, dull aches and pains, arthritis, abdominal pain, stomach ache, indigestion, headache, low back pain, painful menstruation, coughs from excessive mucus and places where bodily movement is limited and painful.
Cupping is a technique in which glass cups are heated from the inside with fire to create a vacuum and then placed on the afflicted area of the body. The cups suction pulls at the skin and is said to suck out the bodys toxins. This practice can actually relieve much of the bodys discomfort caused by the congestion of blood, energy or mucus, as well as swelling or pain. The heated cups used in the technique are placed on the skin above the pained muscle area or above an acupuncture point at the afflicted area. The cups are left in place for five to 15 minutes, and when removed, they usually leave a round red bruise behind, bruising occurs in spots where congestion existed. Although bruises can take several days to go away, the temporary marks are a small price to pay for the relief the therapy provides. However, cupping is not right for every person or every area of the body
