massage

Massage is a “hands on” therapy where we work with the soft tissue to facilitate change and reduce muscle tension and pain.

Massage improves blood flow to the muscle tissue and other soft tissues (eg: tendon, ligaments and connective tissue). It enhances the uptake of oxygen and nutrients and flushes out toxins resulting in healthier muscle tissue. It also helps to realign muscle fibers and can lower levels of Cortisol (stress hormone) and calm the central nervous system.

Terms and Conditions of De-Stress Express & Athlete's Pit Stop Package

The point of this package is to assist you in de-stressing or assist you in your training and developing a habit of regular massage because studies show that the benefits are cumulative.

 

  • The package must be paid in full at the first appointment ($152 for 4 x 20 minutes or $255 for 4 x 40 minutes)
  • All appointments must be scheduled at the first appointment within the space of 5 weeks. Ideally one a week for 4 weeks. The 5 th week allows you time if you need to reschedule.
  • If you need to reschedule an appointment we need 24 hours notice and the reschedule must be within the 5 weeks from the first appointment date, otherwise the appointment is forfeited. We will do our best to see you within the time allowed.
  • It is possible to book 2 x 20 minute or 2 x 40 minute appointment in one week.
  • You may not add 2 sessions together or 3 or 4 as the idea is to get the benefits from creating a regular massage habit.
  • You may upgrade your 20 minute session to 30 minutes ($17), 45 minutes ($37) or 60 minute ($52) but please call us at least 24 hours prior to see if we can accommodate your upgrade.
  • You may upgrade your 40 minute session to 45 minutes ($11.25) or 60 minute ($26.25) but please call us at least 24 hours prior to see if we can accommodate your upgrade.
  • Ideally we will book you in with the same therapist but if the appointment book doesn’t allow then with another therapist
  • The aim of this package is to help reduce stress and/or general muscle tension not to treat specific muscular pain. Of course within the time allowed you will reduce muscular tension and pain.

craniosacral therapy and reflexology

reflexology
Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex points or areas in our feet that correspond to our organs, tissues, systems and structures within our entire body. Applying specific pressure techniques to your feet promotes physiological changes in your body and offers a means of restoring calm and balance to your body.

craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy is an extremely gentle yet powerful treatment to treat both musculoskeletal and soft tissue problems that can cause back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and migraines, golf/tennis elbow, joint and sciatic nerve pain, work or sports related injuries. Treatment takes place lying down, fully clothed and involves a very light contact usually on the head or back.

Sue is also a registered homeopath.

*Prices (applies to both modalities):

  • 60 minutes $90
  • 45 minutes (babies/children) $75
  • 30 minutes (‘taster’ session) $55
