Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Scar & Oncology Massage
Sports Massage & Deep Tissue Massage
I have a Post Grad in Remedial and Sports Massage covering the pathophysiology of over 30 sporting injuries and how to treat these with manual techniques. I am also a MSTR Scar Tissue massage certified so can help with any scar or injury sites you might have.
​
You can use your Southern Cross Healthcare wellness package with me.
​
I am trained to work on conditions such as non specific lower back pain, Osgood Schlatters Disease, Calf Strain, Plantar Fasciitis and Frozen Shoulder to name a few. I have also worked with clients with EDS, MS and Osteoperosis.
I also hold qualification in Deep Tissue Massage - for all over general aches and pains.

Scar Tissue Massage
Despite what you might think, Scar Massage is a very gentle way of softening and flattening and breaking up Scar tissue. It can stop scar tissue build up, pulling and tugging sensations and help make scars less noticeable. Your scar or scars will continue to grow and change for about twelve to eighteen months, so the earlier and more regularly you massage your scar, the less the chance of long-term problems. It is recommended to get scar massage 8 weeks after the injury once the site is fully healed, however, you can get manual lymphatic massage starting 3 days after surgery which can help promote the healing process and can even aid the scarring process.
Scar massage can help:
-
· Reduce itchiness or over-sensitivity of scars
-
· Improve the flexibility, mobility and softness of scars
-
· Make collagen form more evenly by applying pressure
-
· Stop the scar adhering to surrounding muscles and ligaments and restricting function.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
This treatment is a slow, gently, and rhythmic treatment for the face and body which focuses directly on improving the flow of the Lymphatic System, by following the pathways of the Lymph vessels located throughout the body. I am trained in the Vodder method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, which takes it roots back to the early 1930’s. This method aims to move lymphatic fluid from the body’s tissues and into the lymphatic vessels, soothing the body, calming the nervous system, and aiding in pain relief.
This treatment is may help with the following conditions:
-
Swelling/Edema and post surgical issues
-
Assistance with weight loss
-
Headaches/Migraines
-
Digestive problems
-
Fatigue
-
Aches and pains
-
Arthritis
-
Reducing stress
​Oncology Massage
​
Oncology Massage is a safe and gentle form of massage specifically designed for people undergoing treatment or are in remission from treatment for cancer. Oncology Massage is a light gentle massage and very relaxing.
​
Oncology massage may help with pain, cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life, and meets evidence-based guidelines for aiding in the relief of depression and mood disorders in people with breast cancer. Massage may also play a role in the prevention of neuropathic pain related to chemotherapy drugs.
As part of my Oncology Massage service, I can also incorporate scar and post-surgery tissue massage to aid the healing process.
​
Oncology Massage can be offered as an at home treatment. I will come to your house so you can relax in the comfort of your own home. Please contact me directly to arrange.
