About Remedial Massage

Remedial Massage is a holistic treatment and involves the use of massage and a wide range of diagnostic techniques to treat a condition.

Remedial massage can be helpful in treating specific areas of muscle tension caused by stress or injury. The therapy also helps to get the blood flowing to injured tissues to speed up the repair process. Remedial massage can also be used for relaxation and general wellbeing. The therapy has both short and long-term effects on the body. It is important to first gain diagnosis for a health condition from appropriate specialists prior to visiting a remedial massage therapist.

About Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine is a traditional complementary medicine ideally suited to curing the aches and pains of modern lifestyles. It has been proven to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of muscular pain, arthritis, chronic fatigue, pre or post menopausal syndromes and many other ailments. Patients are frequently astonished at the improvement in happiness and lifestyle that can be brought about by traditional treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine and traditional Chinese massage.

Chinese Medicine is based on a tradition of knowledge which has accumulated over thousands of years. The underlying philosophy is based on energy (known as "Qi") flowing through the body. Chinese medicine believes that health in the body and mind depends on the free flowing of Qi throughout the body, and that when this flow is blocked or disrupted, it causes the certain bodily functions to become over active or under active, resulting in physical illness, or mental or emotional imbalance.

The job of a Chinese Medicine practitioner is to detect the energy channels which are blocked, and provide treatment to restore balance and energy flow. This is achieved with the aid of different therapeutic tools such as herbs and acupuncture.

Chinese medicine treats patterns of disharmony, and its focus is on restoring health and balance, therefore it is not disease specific, however commonly treated conditions include:

muscular pain
arthritis
anxiety disorders
depression
insomnia
migraine and cluster headaches
chronic fatigue
menopausal syndromes
Premenstrual syndromes (PMS)
nicotine addiction alcohol and other addictions
natural and IVF pregnancy support
infertility in men and women
