Massage

Massage is the basis of any physiotherapy session.

A range of massage techniques can be used to improve tissue hydration and tone.

Myofascial Release

As the name suggests, myofascial therapies work on the fascia - a thin, flexible layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every part of the body.

Acupressure

Acupressure uses light touch on acupoints along neural and myofascial pathways to stimulate the autonomic nervous system.

Visceral & Craniosacral Techniques

Visceral & Craniosacral Techniques can enhance overall well-being by promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and facilitating the body's natural healing processes.
