One of our most popular massages here at Body Techniques Ipswich is remedial massage. This is a more or a clinical treatment than a relaxing massage as it is designed to focus on your connective tissue, muscles, tendons etc. Treatment starts with a short assessment focusing on where you might be feeling pain and discomfort, moving onto targeted work with specialised techniques to help break down scar tissue and realign muscle fibres so you can heal the right way. Benefits from this treatment include chronic pain reduction, faster injury recovery, restoration of the body’s natural range of motion and more.
Hot rock massages utilise smooth basalt stones placed along key energy points of the body and then massaged over muscles to help with tension release. Thermal energy from the rocks penetrate and soften stiff muscle tissue, allowing our therapists to ease deep knots without having to apply any painful manual pressure. Dilating the blood vessels with the rocks boosts oxygen flow and soothes twitching and tight muscle fibres, this treatment offers an exceptionally restorative experience for anyone suffering from long term stiffness, or muscle spasms.
If you’re in good health and just looking for a treat, then Body Techniques can offer you a calming relaxation massage. No specific targets, no intense pressure, just rhythmic stokes to ease the nervous system and shift it from stress to rest mode. This massage helps boost healthy circulation and removes high stress cortisol to leave you floating on a cloud of good energy.
