Massage is a therapy that involves the stretching, rolling and moving of muscles to promote relaxation and this thereby stimulates the body’s natural pain relief mechanisms. 

​

It can be a slow, rhythmic and often hypnotic movement or a deep, powerful, sustained pressure that enables the ultimate pain relief to tired and aching muscles.  

​

Massage has a powerful effect on muscles that promotes natural balance of the body tissues and ensures ultimate relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.

 

At Natural Poise we offer the following massage options.

​

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage combines conventional relaxation massage and targets deeper muscles within the body. The therapist will use their body weight to stretch and disable areas of increased muscle tone that are causing pain and discomfort.  This massage is ideal for persons that have pain due to repetitive movements, poor posture or are actively sporty.

This treatment may include trigger pointing of identified muscular knots.  This helps to decrease pain and relieve muscle tightness of overused, stressed muscles.  Due to the intensity of this massage, it may feel uncomfortable for up to 48 hours post treatment, this is very normal and will resolve as the body tissues/muscles readjust
