The basic aim of sports massage therapy is to restore or maintain normal function. Our professional uses special techniques designed to help assist performance and prevent or recover from injuries. 

This type of massage focuses on specific areas of the body that are prone to injury or strain and may incorporates techniques from deep tissue work, Thai-style stretching, and trigger point compression. Focusing on manipulating soft tissues like muscles, tendons and ligaments to improve flexibility, reduce tension and increase circulation.

Sports massage is often used by athletes before, during, and after events to prepare the body for intense activity, help manage muscle soreness and promote faster recovery. 

Additionally, sports massage is not limited to professional athletes; anyone engaging in physical activity can benefit from it to improve body function and promote overall well-being. To learn more, visit our website.

Sports Massage

Remedial technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It uses firm pressure and slow strokes to target specific areas of tension and chronic pain. This type of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals with persistent muscle aches and stiffness. It is commonly used to relieve stress in areas like the neck, back, shoulders, and legs, making it a popular option for those seeking long-lasting relief from muscle tightness and discomfort.

Unlike a traditional massage, deep tissue massage goes beyond the superficial layers of the muscles, addressing deeper layers to break down adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) that can disrupt circulation and cause pain or inflammation. The technique involves applying sustained pressure using hands, fingers, knuckles, and sometimes elbows to reach these deeper muscle layers.

Deep Tissue Massage

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to promote the removal of toxins, excess fluid, and waste from the body’s tissues.

Using light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pressure to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues and back toward the heart. Unlike traditional massage, manual lymphatic drainage focuses on the surface layers of the skin and is very light, as the lymphatic vessels lie close to the skin’s surface.

Manual lymphatic drainage will improve circulation, and enhance the immune system’s efficiency. It can also aid in recovery from surgery, injury, or conditions that cause fluid retention, such as certain cancers or chronic venous insufficiency. MLD is a scientifically recognised solution for some medical issues, most notably for individuals with conditions such as lymphedema, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

Lymphatic Drainage

Our signature Thai Combination Massage incorporates world-renowned stretching techniques with other traditional methods. 

Traditional Thai massage, which is based on yoga, is a healing practice that originated over 2,500 years ago. This service combines the stretching and acupressure of Thai massage with soothing strokes from Western styles, offering a balanced body treatment.

The massage uses rhythmic pressure along energy lines and assisted stretches to improve flexibility, circulation, and relieve muscle tension. The therapist may use their hands, elbows, knees, or feet to apply firm pressure and gentle stretching.

This hybrid massage is excellent for reducing stress, easing muscle tension, and improving movement, leaving you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Please note, we can only accommodate those from 16 to 36 weeks pregnant. And we can only accommodate new mothers 2 weeks after natural birth or 4 weeks after caesarean.

Pregnancy massage does share many of the real benefits of regular massages, but it is specifically tailored to help the changing needs of women during the course of their pregnancy. Many expectant mothers have reported feelings of relief from aching joints, reduced anxiety, rejuvenated energy levels, and improved sleep. With all of these excellent benefits, it’s no wonder that pregnancy massages have hugely increased in demand and popularity.

Pregnancy is a demanding time for expectant mothers both physically and mentally and can put a lot of stress on your body.  At Motion Remedy, we will aim to relax your body and mind to release any tension that’s built up in your muscles.

Clinical Massage

One of the most popular and gentle form of massage therapy, focusing on relaxation, improving circulation, and relieving muscle tension. 

It uses a variety of techniques, such as:

• Effleurage: long, gliding strokes

• Petrissage: kneading

• Tapotement: tapping

Swedish massage promotes overall wellness by easing muscle stiffness and reducing stress. 

This massage is designed to relax the entire body and is ideal for those new to massage or seeking relief from everyday aches and tension. It can help improve blood flow, increase flexibility, and boost relaxation, making it perfect for relieving stress and promoting a sense of calm.

Swedish Massage (Body)

Glass cups are used for vacuum effect, layers of muscles are drawn up, breaking up adhesions and improving blood circulation. We offer dry fire cupping in combination with a massage treatment tailored to your needs.

Fire cupping therapy is an ancient treatment from traditional Chinese medicine that uses heated glass cups to create suction on the skin. The cups are briefly heated with a flame, then placed on the body, where they form a vacuum as they cool. This suction helps improve blood flow, release muscle tension, and support the body’s healing.

Commonly used for back, shoulder, and neck pain, fire cupping also helps reduce inflammation and promote relaxation. The therapy leaves round red or purple marks that fade within a few days, showing where blood flow and energy have been stimulated. Fire cupping is a safe and non-invasive way to relieve pain and improve overall well-being.

Cupping can reach tissues up to 4 inches deep.

Cupping Combination Treatment

A technique that combines the use of soothing hot stones to release tension.

Hot stone massage is a soothing and therapeutic treatment that uses smooth, heated stones to relax muscles and ease tension. The heat from the stones helps to warm up tight muscles, making it easier for the therapist to work deeply without using intense pressure. The stones are typically placed on key points of the body, such as the back, shoulders, and neck, and may also be used in the therapist’s hands to massage the muscles.

This type of massage promotes deep relaxation, improves circulation, and helps reduce stress. It can also relieve muscle stiffness, ease pain, and improve overall well-being. The combination of heat and massage techniques makes hot stone massage especially effective for those suffering from muscle tension, chronic pain, or stress.

Hot Stone Combination Massage

The most relaxing holistic treatment that combines the therapeutic benefits of massage with the healing properties of essential oils. 

During the massage, essential oils are carefully selected based on your individual needs and applied to the skin through gentle massage techniques. These oils are absorbed into the body and inhaled, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.

Each essential oil has unique properties—some may help to relax and relieve stress, while others may energize, improve circulation, or reduce muscle tension. Aromatherapy massage not only soothes tight muscles and improves circulation but also enhances mood, reduces anxiety, and promotes a sense of calm.

This type of massage is perfect for those looking to relieve stress, boost their mood, or improve their overall well-being, as the combination of calming scents and gentle massage offers a deeply restorative experience.

Aromatherapy Massage

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific areas of the feet and lower legs correspond to different organs, systems, and parts of the body. By applying targeted pressure to these reflex points, our therapist aim to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

The technique involves massaging and pressing various points on the feet and legs using thumbs, fingers, and sometimes tools to encourage energy flow and balance within the body. Reflexology is believed to help improve circulation, reduce tension, and alleviate pain or discomfort in corresponding areas of the body, such as the head, back, or internal organs.

Foot and leg reflexology can be particularly beneficial for reducing stress, improving overall well-being, and addressing specific conditions like headaches, digestive issues, and muscle tension.

Foot & Leg Reflexology

Reflexology is a healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points to stimulate relaxation.

The premise behind reflexology is that these points are connected to different organs and systems in the body and applying pressure to them, can help to alleviate pressure, pain, reduce stress, and promote overall wellness.

This service has been specialised for teens suffering from growing pains or minor sports related injury.
