Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage is a great choice when you're feeling that all-over aching type of pain, including tension from working, sitting or driving, or soreness after a big gym workout. It can also be great for treating headaches, lower back pain, sciatica, and many other broad pain conditions. We believe there is huge benefit to a full session of hands on massage techniques to calm the body and nervous system and help ease generalised aches and pains.

and Testimonials
LisaFor the first time, I have been migraine free for 3 weeks now and I have cut down to seeing Mel every 2nd week.
MelEmily found every tight spot I had from my shoulders down to my hands and released it. I could feel the difference right away.

RachelI have seen both Mel and Emily for ongoing issues with my knees and they have both been great. I really appreciate their focus on my long term rehabilitation and not just a "quick fix".
CaitlinI am SO happy that I found Mel! My back was in so much pain and had tried physios, osteos and other avenues that had never even come close to helping like Mel already has.
|
AdamI've seen both Mel and Emily for my chronic back and shoulder pain that I've had since a surfing accident when I was a kid. I always leave feeling great, I love the cupping and dry needling it really helps with my pain.
EricaI have seen many, many massage therapists over the years and the relief I experienced after my session with Mel was unparalleled!
