MASSAGE
Remedial and Sports Massage
We’ve been offering Sports and Remedial Massage to the Kingscliff and Tweed Region since 2015. Our team pride ourselves on offering the Gold Standard of soft tissue care, including the treatment of sports injuries, neural entrapments, oncology massage and treatment of pregnancy complaints.
Read on to learn more about the different types of massage available at Global Performance Therapy.
Remedial Massage is used for the treatment of muscular stiffness, tightness or injury. It can be utilised for improving posture, helping to reduce inflammation or to aid someone going through life changes like pregnancy or cancer treatment. There are proven psychological benefits to massage, too. It increases parasympathetic activity (the “rest and digest” part of our nervous system), decreases cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and it even can alter EEG activity (our brainwaves!). Not to mention, it feels amazing.
All our therapists have been specially trained and are accredited by Australia’s leading natural health bodies. Being fully accredited means you can claim back from your health fund, and trust knowing you are in good hands, literally!
Sports Therapy is the combination of deep tissue techniques utilised for sports performance, recovering from injury or injury prevention, and mobility exercises designed to build strength and improve flexibility.
Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, Global Performance Therapy has a registered and experienced therapist for you!
Pregnancy Massage
Massage while being pregnant can be a rejuventating and relaxing experience, but did you know it can also help to relieve the symptoms of morning sickness? It may also help production of collagen in your skin, to help the body to make room for your growing bub.
We use Tropicology organic skincare to help nourish your skin during your treatment, and can provide safe stretches for you to perform at home.
Our therapists are all experienced in the contraindications present for pregnant women, and are dedicated to providing a safe environment for you to fully relax.
Using our practitioner-grade pregnancy massage support cushion, you can also safely lie face down to have your back and legs worked on. This is a real winner, especially in the third trimester!
