Remedial Massage Services
Your individually tailored massage will depend upon your health history, injuries, and of course personal preferences.
We can incorporate a variety of modalities within your treatment plan - of which these are an illustrative selection.
Your massage will be tailored to your specific health issues, any injuries you may have and what you would like to achieve from your remedial massage treatment here at Swan Valley Sports Massage.
To commence your treatment we will discuss your health & sporting activities along with your lifestyle habits. If we are focussing on injury rehabilitation and issues with movement, we will perform any relevant assessments needed to evaluate your current level of ability. These may include consideration of range of movement, gait and postural analysis. We will discuss our planned approach before commencement of the 'hands on' element of your treatment.
We may incorporate dry needling, cupping, kinesio taping etc.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep Tissue Massage aims to treat various musculoskeletal issues, pains and strains often associated with sporting injuries.
Deep Tissue Massage is often what most people associate with 'Sports Massage', but in reality it is a valuable massage technique regardless of your sporting level or experience!
Slow, deep massage strokes are applied in order to release tension within the muscles, fascia and connective tissue with the aim of alleviating pain.
FUNCTIONAL RELEASE CUPPING
Functional Release Cupping combines contemporary research on fascia, the application of myofascial cupping, functional movement patterns and the anatomy trains concept to make dramatic changes in range of motion, functional capacity and perceived pain levels.
This dynamic approach to cupping is highly individualised to your own movement deficits.
Functional Release Cupping takes the traditional concept of myofascial cupping and incorporates an evidence-based approach to its application while ensuring the treatment is highly outcome-focused.
You will see measurable increases in range of motion and function immediately after application.
DRY NEEDLING
Myofascial Dry Needling can be used to treat myofascial pain - musculoskeletal pain associated with both active and latent myofascial trigger points (MTrP's). A MTrP is a hyperirritable spot in a taut band of skeletal muscle fibres. An active MTrP has spontaneous pain or pain in response to movement, stretch or compression, while a latent MTrP is a sensitive spot with pain or discomfort in response to compression.
Dry Needling involves very fine, solid filiform needles which are inserted into your muscle to stimulate it, often invoking what is known as a 'local twitch response'. Dry needling affects several structures - from the skin, through the fascia and then into the muscle layers in order to achieve relief from muscle pain.

TMJ DYSFUNCTION
Temperomandibular Joint Dysfunction can be painful and result in wide ranging symptoms such as jaw pain and headaches as well as affecting ability to open the mouth sufficiently in order to eat normally.
TMJ Dysfunction (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) refers to a combination of issues affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, discomfort and reduced range of movement in the jaw.
I can help alleviate these symptoms through intra-oral massage therapy, which relaxes the surrounding muscles and improves mobility. We also have the option of using advanced dry needling techniques that target trigger points around the jaw area for relief.
Together with our whole-body approach to treatment, we can promote pain reduction and restore movement and function to the jaw as well as reducing symptoms such as tinnitus.
