Key benefits of remedial massage include the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility.

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, designed to promote and maintain the body's natural balance. During Shiatsu, pressure is applied to points and energy pathways using fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows or feet. This improves circulation and supports the body's natural energy flow, both of which contribute to healing.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile, single use needles in points in the body to clear energy blockages and promote the normal flow of energy (Qi) through the body. Acupuncture is a safe, effective and drug-free treatment modality that can be used to remedy problems such as headaches, insomnia and gynaecological imbalances by addressing the underlying cause of disease as well as the symptoms.

Naturopathy is a modality that assesses, treats and prevents conditions of the human body and mind. Naturopaths integrate conventional health sciences with a range of natural therapies and traditional medicines, to best support the patient’s mental, emotional and physical states for a lasting effect.
