Treatments
Samford Valley Remedial Massage offers several different treatments, according to your needs. You may feel like treating yourself with a 60 or 90 minute Relaxation Massage. Or, if you are experiencing muscle or joint discomfort, you may want to book in for a Remedial Massage to address that issue.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation Massage, or Swedish massage, utilises long soft strokes designed to calm the nervous system and relax the body. I use unscented, hypoallergenic oil for this type of massage. Relaxation massage is recommended to help alleviate anxiety, induce a feeling of wellbeing and assist with better sleep.
I will tailor a relaxation massage to your needs: if you prefer not having your head touched, but you love a foot reflexology massage, just let me know!

Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage is designed to remedy a specific muscle related problem. For this purpose I will conduct some simple muscle tests prior to and after the treatment. These tests and movements will clarify where the problem lies, and I will tailor the treatment to that particular area.
Treatment techniques include trigger pointing, stretching techniques, deep tissue massage and cupping.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle massage without oil. This treatment targets the lymphatic system, not the muscles. Gentle manipulation of specific areas in the body helps lymph fluid move towards areas in the body with working lymph vessels, ultimately relieving swelling and removing excess lymph fluid.
