Massage Therapies
At Knead to Move, I offer a range of massage and remedial therapies designed to address your physical pain and promote your overall well-being. I utilise various techniques to provide personalised treatments tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are dealing with muscle tension, postural issues, or mobility restrictions, I am here to help you find relief and restore optimal movement.
Posture Assessment
Our comprehensive posture assessment involves a detailed examination of your skeletal system at rest. By analyzing the positioning of your bones, including the spine, shoulder blades, and pelvis, we gain valuable insights into muscle imbalances and areas of concern. This assessment guides our therapists in determining which muscles may be overworking or underutilized, allowing us to develop effective treatment plans.
Movement Assessment
Every joint in your body has an ideal range of motion. Our movement assessment evaluates the mobility of your joints and identifies any limitations or insufficiencies. By identifying tight muscles that require attention and weak muscles that need strengthening, we can target the root causes of your discomfort and help restore your movement to its optimal levels.
Lifestyle Assessment
Understanding the factors that contribute to mechanical insufficiencies and poor posture is essential for effective treatment. Our lifestyle assessment examines your daily positions, goals, training routine, stress levels, and sleep patterns to identify potential causes of your movement or postural challenges. By addressing these factors, we can develop a holistic treatment plan to enhance your movement and posture.
Remedial Massage
Our remedial massage therapy encompasses a variety of techniques aimed at alleviating physical pain and addressing the underlying causes of dysfunction. By targeting specific muscle groups and utilizing tailored approaches, we work towards relieving your pain and improving your overall well-being.
Active Release Technique
As the gold standard in soft tissue treatment, our therapists employ the Active Release Technique to assess and treat adhesions between your fascia and muscle tissue. By applying precise pressure at the correct angle while guiding your muscles through comfortable movements, we can effectively release tension and restore optimal function.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy targets and eliminates "knots" or trigger points within the muscles. By applying appropriate pressure for an optimal duration, we release these hypersensitive muscle bundles, enhancing muscle function and flexibility.
Cupping
Using gentle suction cups, our cupping therapy technique aims to separate and lift tissues, breaking adhesions between the skin, fascia, muscles, and bones. This separation promotes improved functionality and increased blood flow within the tissue, facilitating muscle recovery.
Dry Needling
Similar in appearance to acupuncture, dry needling focuses on Western medicine principles, offering reliable and reproducible results. We use thin acupuncture needles inserted into muscles to enhance blood flow and target trigger points, deactivating muscle hypersensitivity.
