MYOFASCIAL CUPPING

MYOFASCIAL CUPPING

Traditional and modern cupping is the practice of applying suction at the skin's surface using an array of techniques to treat dysfunction throughout the body. Pain caused by congestion or restriction of tissue can be alleviated by the withdrawing effect of this modality, rather than the downward pressure adapted by other therapies. When applied by an experienced therapist, cupping can reduce chronic pain, release muscle tension, improve range of motion, stimulate circulation, and waste removal, enabling tissue rehabilitation. Cupping can also be utilised to treat the digestive, reproductive, nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems.​

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a therapeutic practice where the Massage therapist will apply pressure and release techniques to deactivate a specific point in the muscle fibres. Once this pressure is applied, it will defer pain into another area of the body, allowing the root cause of the issue to be released, ensuring the complaint is resolved. Trigger Point Therapy is an extremely safe and effective treatment that can treat conditions like headaches, shoulder injuries, muscle strains, joint sprains, tight muscles, neck pain, and general muscle pain.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a treatment approach that uses fine needles inserted into muscles to deactivate trigger points. These trigger points are a common site for pain and dysfunction in the body, and by 'turning off' these referred pain pathways, we can help reduce pain and return normal function to the body. Myofascial dry needling can be used to treat many acute and chronic conditions and is commonly used in conjunction with other therapeutic massage techniques. The technique has proven popular amongst athletes as it typically produces excellent results in a shorter time. And although sometimes an uncomfortable treatment, myofascial dry needling has produced outstanding results when other remedial massage techniques have been unsuccessful.

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue Massage will focus on the deeper layers of your body's muscle tissue, reaching the thick muscles, and targeting the individual muscle fibres. This therapeutic treatment helps to release both toxins from the body and trigger points that will enable the oxygen and blood to flow and circulate as they should.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage

Sports massage is designed specifically for athletes or anyone who undertakes regular training. This type of massage will not only treat and heal your existing injuries, but they will also prevent injuries from occurring by releasing tight muscles. Therefore, they will no longer pull hard on the tendons and ligaments, allowing movement to occur without issues freely. A Sports Massage is an ideal pre and post-event addition. Your recovery time post-event will lessen significantly.

Corrective Massage

Corrective Massage provides a healing treatment that affects the whole body. We aim to trace the discomfort as far back as possible to the original cause, thus healing both the cause of the disorder and the symptoms.
 
A corrective massage is a form of massage that works to remedy or fix a problem in your body. It may be an acute injury that has just occurred, a long-lasting chronic problem that is always there or issues that may arise from time to time like headaches or muscle aches.

About Me

I am a South African expat that immigrated to Australia in 2006 to follow a career in competitive sport. I have been a sports enthusiast all of my life, dipping my toes into combat, endurance events, and all kinds of ball and board sports. These days you are likely to find me surfing, training for a triathlon or an adventure race, or having a go at MMA.

I walked away from the corporate scene and chose to follow my heart. To fulfill my dream of helping people. This passion drove me to become an Osteopathic student and a massage therapist, where I can combine my love for sports with the serving of others. I’m currently studying Osteopathy at SCU on the Gold Coast. I believe that my studies will enhance my ability to assist people by giving them a helping hand on their life journey.

The unique situation I’m in allows me to treat people from all walks of life and sporting levels. I’ve played and trained sport at the highest level, so I fully understand athletes, their bodies, and mindsets. I apply the knowledge I receive at university to every treatment and look at every person as an individual. I firmly believe that the body is connected and that joints and segments of the body affect each other. This leads me to investigate the cause of your discomfort or look for the best treatment to improve your athletic performance.
