Deep tissue myotherapy, simply meaning deep tissue muscle therapy, is focused on reducing tension in the muscles and joints. Tension in the muscles and joints build up as a consequence of sitting at a desk, or doing a repetitive activity for long periods. Intensive sporting activities such as weight training, cycling, football and rugby also result in discomfort and tightness in the back, glutes and hamstring muscles. Regular myotherapy treatments are very essential in maintaining muscle health and posture.

Deep tissue myotherapy can treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Sports Massage therapy involves deep tissue myotherapy and special manipulative techniques. It is typically used before, during, and after athletic events.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest and widely used methods of treatment, excellent in treating all muscular and connective tissue (tendon) dysfunctions as well as many other ailments.

Pressure point therapy also referred to as acupressure is very similar to acupuncture, except in pressure point therapy the tip of the thumb and fingers is used instead of acupuncture needles. We apply pressure point therapy on patients who do not like needles. Pressure point therapy is especially effective for the disorders of the tendons. We often combine deep tissue myotherapy with pressure point therapy to get to the core of the stagnation that is always present in tight muscles. Stagnation, or bunched up muscles, often contains some degree of unmoved blood and plasma. This causes swelling in the muscle which presses against the surrounding nerves and causes pain. Pressure point therapy breaks through this stagnation to alleviate pain and promote normal circulation of blood and plasma.

Tuina, meaning push and grasp, is a special form of Chinese manipulative therapy which involves using the back, front and side of the hand as well as the thumb and finger tips.

It's very effective in treating:

Cupping involves creating suction inside special cups and placing them on the skin. As we mentioned above, blood stagnation inside bunched up muscles often has its associated byproduct in the form of toxins. These toxins remain inside the muscle for some time. Cupping draws out most of these toxins out of the muscle and eliminates them through the skin.
Suction cups are widely used in most massage clinics. We include cupping in treating both acute and chronic conditions.

The aim of cupping is to:

There is a close connection between health and diet. You've heard the saying, "you are what you eat". We have a holistic approach to health and diet based on Chinese medical philosophy.
According to Chinese medical theory we are made up of five elements - fire, earth, metal, water and wood. These elements are found in the nature and we are a product of our nature.
All these elements work in harmony. When one of these elements becomes imbalanced, it leads to the imbalance of the other elements. For instance, if we overindulge in consuming alcohol, it results in fire being in excess which in turn depletes water. Hence excess of fire leads to deficiency of water.
It makes sense as we all know overconsumption of alcohol leads to dehydration which in turn leads to headache, sore throat, coughing, irritability, tight muscles and so on.
Same goes to overconsumption of certain foods and substances.
We assess your overall health with the view of the five elements theory and aim at harmonizing these elements in your body with the aid of diet therapy.
We will give you as much advice as you need on diet and healthy eating.
