Remedial massage
uses a combination of techniques to treat the causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction, rather than just focusing solely on pain relief. Is a holistic approach that uses several assessment techniques to locate and treat dysfunction while also supporting the body’s own repair mechanisms. In particular, it is the specific manipulation of soft tissue, including not only muscles, but ligaments, tendons and fascia that can help restore proper function to the body.
Sports massage
is a specialised form of remedial massage that focuses on enhancing athletic performance, improving post-event recovery and treating injuries for amateur or professional athletes and exercise enthusiasts. Sports massage works by manually manipulating the soft tissues of the body by correcting inappropriate patterns of movement and by increasing flexibility specific to the sport or activity performed.
Pregnancy massage

The majority of techniques used for a remedial massage can be used or slightly altered and applied to a pregnancy massage to help alleviate stress on the weight bearing joints and reduce muscle tightness and spasm due to postural changes.
Hot stone massage

It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body.During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body.

What is Wellness Chiropractic?
More often than not, when we tell someone that we are a chiropractic office, they immediately associate our vocation with neck and/or back pain. What many do not realize, however, is that chiropractic is a health care modality that provides significantly more than just a solution for pain.
Chiropractic is a lifestyle that involves all aspects of wellness, including exercise, nutrition, personal development, and stress relief. We have been fortunate to work with people from all walks of life (including newborns, children, and adolescents) and the outcome has been miraculous.
