Active Body Therapies Massage Services

Whether you are an athlete, someone suffering from pain and tense muscles or someone recovering from injury, Active Body Therapies can help you. Whilst we specialise in sports and remedial massage therapy, we also offer relaxation massage and provide mobile and corporate massage services.

Your First Appointment

At your first appointment we will record any history of pain or injury and give you an introductory assessment to examine flexibility and range of movement which will help to highlight any problem areas that need special care. We then reassess as we go, looking for improvement. If you are coming to us with an existing injury, restriction or particular pain, then we will reassess your condition after each appointment to monitor how you and your injury are progressing.

 

Kinesio® Taping

What do Serena Williams, David Beckham, Lance Armstrong, Lleyton Hewitt, and Tiger Woods all have in common? They use Kinesio® Taping to keep them performing at their peak in their sport. Developed more than 30 years ago by a Japanese chiropractor, Kinesio® Tape is used to give support after an injury and during rehabilitation to prevent overuse.

It’s also used to:

• Reduce pain
• Enhance performance
• Prevent injury
• Promote improved circulation and healing
• Help prevent muscle cramping and lactic acid buildup

Different to traditional taping, Kinesio® Tape works with the body to allow for full range of movement. The body’s damaged tissue can rest and heal naturally despite continued use.
The tape is 100% cotton which means it is breathable and lasts several days through sweating, bathing and even swimming.

Kinesio® Tape must be applied by a professional who is trained. Robert Turner, head massage therapist at Active Body Therapies, is certified in Kinesio Taping (KT1 & KT2) with Kinesio Taping Association International.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is an assessment-based treatment, ideal for treating soft tissue injuries from work, sport or just daily life. The massage treatment that you receive will be custom tailored to you and your individual needs. If your need is to address a specific complaint or injury, then your massage treatment will be focused around that. You can claim remedial massage on most private health funds; Active Body Therapies offers health fund rebates for the majority of the major private health funds.

Relaxation Massage

Also known as Swedish massage, relaxation massage is a slow, soothing traditional form of massage that releases muscle tension and stress from the body and mind. Although typically lighter in pressure than most other forms of massage, not all relaxation massage is light, however it shouldn’t be uncomfortable either. Your massage therapist will confirm that the pressure is right for you and tailor it to suit your needs. The focus is on your neck, back and shoulders. Regular massage can have a profound effect on you and your daily life. You can experience increased energy, decreased stress, improved sleep and clarity of mind.
