MASSAGE THERAPY & DRY NEEDLING

Remedial Massage Therapy:

Remedial Massage is a targeted therapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue to support recovery, reduce pain, and improve function. Unlike general relaxation massage, remedial techniques are applied with a specific therapeutic goal in mind—tailored to your needs and how your body responds.

Our qualified therapists use a combination of techniques, movement, and appropriate oils or balms to support:

- Injury rehabilitation

- Chronic pain management

- Muscle tension and joint stiffness

- Postural concerns and overuse injuries

​​

Dry Needling:

Dry needling—also known as myofascial trigger point release—is a safe, evidence-based treatment used to relieve pain and restore muscle function. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles (similar to acupuncture needles) into tight or dysfunctional muscle tissue to reduce tension, improve blood flow, and support healing.

Dry needling is commonly used to treat:

- Muscle tightness and spasms

- Sports or overuse injuries

- Headaches and referred pain

- Persistent musculoskeletal pain
