Massage

How can a massage help me?

A massage can help you find pain-free movement, improve your well-being, and offers a natural form of relief from aches, pains, and stresses. Like osteopathy, massage is designed to help the body recover, gain strength, flexibility, and release tension from muscles that, left otherwise untreated, could lead to pain and other issues. At Vivian Street Osteopaths, Dani combines detailed training with years of experience to provide leading massage services near you.

Massage therapy involves the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues – the muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments. It can help with:

• Aches and pains, including neck, back, and shoulder pain
• Stress management
• Injury rehabilitation
• The care of the disabled
• Promoting restful sleep
• Improving sporting performance and recovery
• Pregnancy

I visited Dani due to mystery shoulder pain. I have now been twice and could almost
call it life changing. Years of pent-up stress and trauma discovered in muscles,
tension has finally softened, headaches are much less and have changed most of
my lifestyle habits for the better. My only regret? Wish I’d gone sooner.

Dani is a very skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist. Dani took the time to
identify where my chronic neck and shoulder pain was coming from, helped me to
understand this, and provided relief until becoming pain free after just a few
sessions. I would highly recommend a visit to Dani to sort out any aches or pains!

What types of massage treatments are there?

Over the years Dani has put together her own unique blend of sports/therapeutic and deep tissue massage. She has even brought in a few beauty therapy tricks with hot stones and warm flannels.

If you are a relaxing, rejuvenating and therapeutic massage you have come to the right place.

Sports massages are a specialised form of deep tissue therapy designed for athletes. They can be done pre-event, post-event, and during training. They can help both in improving performance and as a part of preventative care. A sports massage can help an athlete increase muscle tone, reduce the likelihood of injury, and improve posture, muscle balance, and the efficiency of movements. In addition to these performance benefits, they can also treat sprains, strains, and discomfort.

Relaxation massages, unlike the other forms listed on this page, are not designed to treat injuries or discomfort. Instead, they focus on helping you de-stress or loosen the body. They incorporate gentle strokes and manipulations of the muscles to help you relax. They are great for enhancing health and well-being, giving you a quick energy boost, and make an ideal gift for the hard worker in your life. As a bonus, they also help improve circulation, reduce feelings of stress, and can even reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger.

Prenatal massages are safe throughout the entire course of pregnancy. They can help reduce back and joint pain, oedema, and can help improve circulation. If you’re pregnant and interested in the benefits of a massage at a clinic near you can offer, please speak with one of our osteopaths to see what type of massage would be appropriate for you.
