Advanced Clinical massage therapy is ideal for pain, injury and pathologies as listed on this page under each type of protocol. Each massage will be tailored to focus on what is needed by the client.  An assessment will be given before each massage. Typically, as a guide line,  many types of pain can be treated in 3-6 weekly massage sessions. This will be discussed at your consultation. You will also be given home care exercises to do to support your treatment. 

 

Pain and tension does not only come from strain, injury or tension in a muscle, but also from internal imbalances of the body as well as previous and present emotional stresses and  trauma. 

 

Your massage, depending on your needs, may incorporate some or all of the following. We may also suggest supporting modalities and home exercises if needed - Deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofacial release, hot stones, advanced stretching and lymphatic drainage.
