Deep Tissue Massage
Is a very firm massage working on deep layers of muscle tissue to release the chronic patterns of muscle tension . It is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct pressure or friction applied across the muscle belly. It helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue and fibrosis in the healing muscle. This invigorating experience is a process of detecting the stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature and slowly working into these layers.
This treatment often incorporates stretching, trigger points therapy, post isometric relaxation technique, positional release technique, reflex locomotion (neuromuscular stabilization technique) & the most important - your homework in the form of exercises! ;)
It is ideal for those experiencing aches and pains in and around the spine, particularly office workers and travellers, and for post sporting injury.

Reflex Locomotion
Reflex Locomotion is a highly specialized type of physical therapy developed by the Czech Paediatric Neurologist Prof. Dr. Vaclav Vojta (www.vojta.com). By stimulation of exactly defined zones and specific positioning of the patient, the motor responses are activated. Skeletal musculature (and smooth muscles) throughout the entire body is activated in a coordinated manner. At the same time the central nervous system is addressed at all its regulatory levels.

Foot Reflexology
Reflexology is an extremely effective form of therapeutic foot massage. It uses a specific pressure technique that works on precise reflex points on your feet. Through these reflex points all the organs and parts of your body are then stimulated. It is applied without oils or just a very small amount.
Wearing unsuitable shoes may overstimulate a reflex point and cause pain in the part of your body corresponding with that point.
