There are various types of massage that can be performed by our highly trained Physiotherapists at Priority Healthcare:

Sports Massage

Specifically designed for athletes of all ages and gender. It consists of targeting specific areas to ensure the best possible peak performance and endurance. This form of massage reduces muscular tension and heals strained muscles to allow optimal performance and minimising the risk of injury.

Deep Tissue Massage

Releases deep-seated patterns of muscular tension and tightness. This form of massage loosens muscle tissues, increases blood and boosts oxygen circulation and to promote greater flexibility and movement.

Trigger Point Therapy

Deep tissue pressure whilst you muscles are on stretch. This form of massage alleviates abnormal muscle contractions, alleviates pain and strain, deactivates trigger points and prevents injuries.

Dry Needling

The term dry needling is also used to differentiate the use of needling in western medicine from the use of needling in Chinese medicine, which is referred to as acupuncture.

It uses a single, fine needle which is placed into the tissue to create a physiological reaction. It often works remarkably well in reducing muscular tension, spasm, tightness and reducing fatigue. To find out more please speak to one of our qualified dry needling experts.

Relaxation Massage

This form of massage gently loosens tight muscles, increases blood and boosts oxygen circulation and to promote relaxation and a sense of vitality.
