Gary Kilian – Remedial Massage Therapist
Why get a massage? Most people would say because it feels good without realizing just how beneficial a regular massage can be for their overall health. A massage can help to reduce stress, relieve tension and soothe tired and aching muscles but it can be far more than that. Traditionally a Swedish massage was for relaxation, a deep tissue or sports massage was intended to slowly work the deeper muscles but a remedial massage therapist may now incorporate aspects from different modalities during treatment to ensure you get the best treatment.
Some of the general benefits of massage therapy include:
• Relief from pain in muscle and soft tissue.
• Improved blood supply and nutrition to muscles.
• Helps to improve muscle tone and maintain posture.
• Speeds up recovery from exercise induced fatigue.
• Helps to prevent and promotes recovery from injury.
• Relaxes, focuses and clears the mind and promotes a feeling of wellbeing.
• Improves sleep patterns.
• Aids in the reduction of swelling (oedema).

• Tension headaches
• Lower back pain
• Tennis and Golfer’s elbow

During the treatment your comfort and privacy is assured at all times and please feel free to ask your Therapist any questions.
