Gait analysis helps identify the source of pain and strain for both running and walking.  Careful evaluation of mechanics, swing, length, pattern and cadence, plus body restrictions and weaknesses.. Ankles, knees, hips and shoulder motions need to work in harmony with each other.  To improve your gait, we focus on assessing and working on muscle groups and firing orders throughout the session.

Cupping

Helps 'unstick' the skin from the muscles, creating space for movement and flow.  Static cups apply multiple STR points during active and passive movements.  Dynamic gliding of the suction cup helps lift skin and encourages blood flow throughout the muscles.

Hot & Cold Stones

Hot stones worked down the muscles helps open up the vessels and pores.  Cold stones cause the vessels to constrict.  The combination improves fluid flow by encouraging them to be supple and adaptive, facilitating good oxygenated blood flow and the clearance of muscle waste.

Massage Gun

Focused vibration therapy helps soften tight muscle tissues and stimulates local nerve endings. Useful for muscle recovery after sustained intensive sessions.  Boosts blood flow, reduces stress and tension.

Facial Blades

Fascial blades are a gentle instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation technique.  The blade acts as an extension of the therapist's hand to break down adhesions and fascial restrictions.  These encourage blood flow and the removal of waste from the muscles and skin in the treated areas.

EMS

Electro muscle stimulation can help strengthen weak muscles.  The pads stimulate the targeted muscle to fire and stay contracted for the specified time, repeated in batches over the course of the session.  EMS assists with muscle recovery and rehabilitation after injury.

Ultrasonic Treatment

High frequency sound waves (1Mhz/3Mhz) are used around the affected area to treat the soft tissue injury.  Stimulation and slight heating effect help increase blood flow and reduce muscle soreness, speeding up the healing process.  Ultrasonic treatment may stimulate the production of collagen, helping accelerate the proliferative phase of the tissue healing.

Kinetic Taping

Kinetic (kinesiology) taping provides pain relief, reduction of inflammation, oedema (swelling) and bruising.  It accelerates recovery by reactivating inhibited muscle fibres and opens up drainage pathways.  Dynamic taping aids recovery by taking the load off muscles and allowing supportive movement.  Restrictive (hard) taping limits mobility for relief and healing.  Tape can be worn for up to 1 week, including during showering.

Scar Treatment

Gentle lifting, twisting and working around the affected area improve the healing process.  Massage therapy improves circulation and reduces the appearance of scar tissue, soften and flattening them.  The techniques ease and soften the tendrils that developed around and under the scar, leading to better motion and potentially restoring sensation to the region.  Scar over 5 years old can benefit as well as younger scars.

Muscle Energy Techniques

Increase range of movement with resistance techniques (PIR and RI) using active and passive movement.  Gently lengthens and records the improved range, encourages strong signals to the muscles.
