Massage has been used for centuries to aid recovery from illness, impart relaxation and a sense of wellbeing, it improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow as well as removing toxins from the body.

At the Complete Health Chiropractic Clinic we have two highly qualified massage therapists, Kerry O'Toole and Sharon Robinson.

Aromatherapy

Remedial Massage
On a deeper level remedial massage provides treatment of long standing muscle related problems.  It provides an excellent supportive role to chiropractic treatment, notably with pain disorders, inproving recovery time and enabling maximum repair.

Sports Massage
Sports massage helps break up fibrosis enabling stretching, lengthening and releasing deep seated muscular tension.  It improve mental preparation for sporting events and aids training. Used pre, during, or post competition it reduces the likelihood of injury and enhances performance.

Hot Stone Massage
This technique uses the application of heated iron rich basalt volcanic stones to muscles and trigger points around the body as a therapeutic treatment.  It provides deep stimulation using a broader, more comfortable contact to relieve muscular tension and provide a deeper sense of relaxation.

Reflexology
Reflexology uses the reflex areas on the feet which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body.  Working on these areas of the feet can stimulate self-healing.  Reflexology can help relieve stress and tension and improves blood supply and circulation so promoting the unblocking of nerve impulses which helps the body's organs to work in harmony with each other.
