Massage has traditionally been used in many countries around the world for a variety of health-related purposes. Massage involves the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. A variety of techniques are used to enhance function, promote healing, reduce pain and encourage relaxation and well being.

 

At Eyre Naturopathy clinic we offer a variety of massage techniques:

 

Aromatherapy massage: Aromatherapy is a gentle massage given using a blend of essential oils specific for the individual being treated. Aromatherapy stimulates a part of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and influences the nervous system and hormones. Aromatherapy massage can influence stress levels, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, digestion and the immune system. Essential oils are also absorbed through the skin, some have calming effects while other are energizing.

 

Swedish massage: Swedish massage is a relaxing form of massage therapy that is helpful in reducing pain, body stiffness and inducing a state of calm. The perfect form of massage if you are looking to wind down after a long and busy week.

 

Remedial massage: Remedial massage is a deeper tissue massage specifically aimed at restoring the body back to a state of health after injury. It is used to treat muscular-skeletal imbalances, removes blockages and scar tissue build up and speed up recovery time. It can also help to promote the flow of blood and lymph to an injured area therefore encouraging healing.
