Today we combined this traditional approach with modern day scientific knowledge.

Massage can be beneficial for everyone, from infancy to childhood, through life and in later years.

Spineline offer the following Massage Therapies

Relaxation: - A smooth, flowing style that is light and gentle with long strokes. It should be an enjoyable experience and one to remember.

Remedial: - Remedial Massage is one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness. Remedial helps to restore function to “soft tissues” and is designed to treat both deep and superficial tissue. It is quite normal with your first massage to experience some soreness; this will usually subside over 48 hours. If you car concerned please contact one of out masseurs at the clinic.

Reflexology: - A massage technique based around a system of pressure points on the hands and feet. Each reflex point corresponds to a particular part of the body. By working these points it can influence various regions of the body, helping to ease soreness, symptoms and assist in achieving balance within the body.

Bowen Therapy: - Bowen Therapy is a series of small gentle movements over muscles and connective tissue. This technique activates the body to balance and heal itself. The Bowen technique is a powerful and dynamic tool for treating ailments and injuries. It is also beneficial in maintaining body balance.

Cupping: - A technique that is used quite widely in Eastern Europe. Cupping is based on a technique where cups are placed on areas of the body, a pump is then used to withdraw the air, causing the cup to suction. When placed on the correct point it removes and energy blockages and returns the energy to be balanced. This technique is extremely effective for upper and lower back pain. Cupping may leave temporary marks on the worked area.

Pregnancy Massage: - Massage during pregnancy can help the body and mind to recover and cope with both the physical and emotional stress caused by pregnancy. Various massage techniques can be used to relieve any pain and tension caused by the pregnancy or it can be used as a relaxation tool.
