Your week has left you feeling as though you may have lost your mind!

 

Your neck aches, your shoulders have relocated to your ears, and sleep has not been as refreshing as you would like.

You wake up feeling exhausted and your legs still hurt from boot camp....

You get the idea.

 

Can you find the strength to face that work social event

& get the kids to the soccer game?

The answer is YES!

 

Come and See Us and Experience  

A TOTAL NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET.  

 Relaxation Massage can Rock your World

     & Blow Your Mind! 

​

        So your therapist knows you are here for relaxation, the music is on, you collapse on the table & your therapist takes it from here!

To get the most out of your session, we want you to

steer your mind toward relaxing things.

 

This is your time away from stress and challenges, so be the boss of your thoughts. Rainforest's, sunsets and fluffy puppies!

You get the idea.

 

We will encourage you to take a deep breath and relax your core and soften your body to receive the most out of your session.

​

        As your nervous system relaxes with light refreshing touch it is quite often the case that the pain you may be feeling in your

neck and shoulders gently dissipates as your nervous system

stops holding on for dear life!

 

Relaxation massage is all about - you guessed it relaxation.

​

All feedback is encouraged and welcome, but please understand

your therapist will not be able to change

a massage booked as relaxation to remedial.

​

Deep tissue or remedial work will not be conducted in your gentle therapeutic relaxation massage, but your therapist may advise you to try a remedial massage when you would like to try deep tissue remedial massage to address pain issues or movement problems. 

 

 

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

                    

Remedial is the correct genre for massage work that

is life changing, sustainable and restorative.

​

Remedial massage is TRANSFORMATIVE and does not

have to be TORTUROUS.

 

We will work kindly, gently and to your comfort levels, but understanding that this style is not about pleasure will put you in the winners seat to get exciting changes!

​ 

Remedial Massage Therapists are highly trained professionals, trained to work with soft tissue and bring restored movement, improved posture and address the root causes of muscular pain.

​​

Our remedial massage is Nervous System based massage work

using the same principles as stretching a muscle group

post exercise, not brute force and agony while you hold

your breath and squeeze your abs for dear life!    

 

​

Deep tissue changes are best achieved when

you are able to relax on the table, not when you are in fight or flight,

so there is a lot of gentle warm up and softening

of the body before that depth can be achieved. 

​

  We will gently educate & empower you how to receive your massage with deep relaxing breaths into the deep tissue stretching that is required to restore supple pain free muscles & movement. 

 

Your nervous system will respond by beginning the process of relinquishing hard wired, neurologically driven muscle tension that occurs in long term compensation patterns and we commence our journey toward freedom of movement & restored postural alignment! 

​​

This style of transformative massage has been developed over many years of professional experience, born from a

heart felt desire & passion to help people get better,

not just feel better for a short time!

​​

So at Massage Artisan the hard work is not about sucking up the

pain and holding on for dear life in fight or flight, but rather

in being coached to teach your body to relax and allow

deep tissue tension to be unlocked.
   

Using this strategy, fibrotic, hard muscles can then be stretched, softened and restored. We will help guide you into the deep relaxation required to achieve deep tissue tension release and create sustainable changes in resistant muscle groups which

are causing pain and movement problems.

                      

We want to work with you to see you pain free- feeling energetic, moving well & without pain & even sleeping far better! Your therapist will work carefully and kindly to achieve deep tissue changes that unlock postural tension and create powerful improvements in your range of motion and whole body movement patterns and flow

 

​

So expect a different massage experience to the shopping mall or day spa style. This treatment massage targets the

musculoskeletal impingements to take you into

living your best life, with energised, pain free movement!

​​ 

​

 It's an exciting & empowering massage for those who are looking for powerful postural changes & pain free movement & are motivated to work with your therapist to achieve them!

 

Our treatment goal is to move you beyond the never ending merry go round of 'pain -symptom relief massage- repeat'.

 

Our massage strategy is designed to target & treat the real musculoskeletal issues.

 

Expect a professionally conceptualized & informed massage treatment plan to create exciting changes!

SPORTS PERFORMANCE MASSAGE

 

Life without playing, competing, moving is inconceivable.

An injury that stops you from your sport or activity is possibly the worst thing you can imagine. If training is your go- to, your- de-stress, your self care and your delight....

Sports massage is the right genre of massage for you

 

 

Your greatest fear in getting massage is NOT experiencing pain, it is booking in & receiving 

"A why bother, skim, DE 'café late with sugarine"

style of massage that does not get into your issues! Never fear - our only question is can you take a 10/10 pain?!

 

However!

If you take on the coaching and relax into the work, 

not only will the discomfort be far lower than a 10/10

But may even feel Exhilarating and Euphoric!

​

 Intense, Focused & Results Driven.

Our Sports massages are for best results not for pleasure. Expect an intense results driven sports massage get high powered results! 

 

In fact, some people get such an Endorphin Hit they act slightly drunk after an intense body work release session!!!

 

It is essential to warm up the muscles before we go 'deep or hard'(as we are not into ripping and tearing flesh- not beneficial or intelligent)! 

 

We will work to your comfort levels, and coach you every step of the way to keep you out of flight and fight, we will be striving to make every minute on the table count!

​

Our senior therapist Lisa is a certified Les Mills Instructor

& spent many years teaching 

Body Pump

Body Attack

 Boxing

& Rpm / Spin Classes.

 

Lisa understands what athletes need to keep firing on six cylinders & will design your session to get the results you need!   

 

It's massage experience that is most comparable to physio- but you get far more table time than physiotherapy and the work is connected and holistic as opposed to isolated and site specific.

      

If you are a runner, triathlete, kick boxer, weight lifter, footy girl or guy, we will bring our best game to the table every session so you can excel in yours!  

 

​

See You Soon @ Artisan!
