Our heated scraper is fabulous for getting into those tense muscles!

When a muscle is tense, tight or contracted instead of relaxing normally. It can feel uncomfortable or even painful, especially if it lasts a while.

You can feel:
• Tightness or stiffness
• Aching or soreness
• Reduced flexibility or movement
• Sometimes a dull, constant pain

Common causes include:
• Stress or anxiety
• Overuse or strain
• Poor posture
• Injury or inflammation
• Not enough movement or stretching

Trochanteric Bursitis:

Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that are located throughout the body, including around the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and heel. They are filled with a small amount of fluid, and act as cushions to help reduce friction, as they are positioned between bones and soft tissues.

Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. There are two major bursae in the hip that typically become inflamed and irritated. One bursa covers the bony point of the hip bone, which is called the Greater Trochanter. Inflammation of this bursa is called trochanteric bursitis.

Hip bursitis most often involves the bursa that covers the greater trochanter of the femur, although the iliopsoas bursa can also become inflamed.

Symptoms:

The main symptom of trochanteric bursitis is hip pain. The pain usually moves outwards towards the outside of the thigh. Early on, the pain is often described as sharp and intense. Later on, the pain may become more achey and cover a larger area of the hip.
Often the pain is worse at night, when lying on the affected hip, and when standing up after being seated for a period of time. It may get worse with prolonged walking, climbing up stairs or squatting.

Hip bursitis can affect anybody, but is more commonly found in women and middle-aged or elderly people.

Risk factors:

• Repetitive stress (overuse) injury
• Hip injury
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Spine disease
• Leg-length discrepancy
• Previous surgeries
• Bone spurs or calcium deposits

Treatment:

Many people with hip bursitis can experience relief with simple lifestyle changes, including:

• Avoiding the activities that worsen symptoms
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Physical therapy

Prevention:

Although hip bursitis can’t always be prevented, there are steps you can take to stop the symptoms worsening:

• Avoid repetitive activities that involve the hips
• Lose weight if you need to
• Ensure shoes are properly fitted
• Keep good strength and flexibility of the leg and hip muscles

Post op MLD

We provide Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapy to support fluid balance and promote healing before and after surgery.

MLD is frequently recommended following both medical and cosmetic procedures. Treatment can usually begin immediately after surgery or within approximately three days — the sooner, the better. One of the primary aims of MLD is to help reduce the risk of seroma formation. Using gentle, rhythmic pumping techniques, MLD encourages lymph flow and helps minimise fluid retention.

Thai Compress Massage
​
The popular treatment is a perfect detox for clients and will provide ultimate relaxation! This treatment is great for those who lead a busy, stressful lifestyle and simply want to replace. The combination of heated Thai compresses and massage provides a detoxifying treatment that will purify and cleanse the mind a body.

This treatment is similar to hot stone massage, as heat is used along with massage to aid relaxation, however is more of a gentle approach.

(Please not - If you suffer with skin allergies or sensitive skin this treatment may not be suitable for you)

Benefits:
• Reduces tension
• Deep relaxation of muscle and nerve fibres (helps relieve chronic pain arising from overuse injuries)
• Softens and nourishes the skin and acts as a exfoliator.
• Improves the circulation as the massage and heat dilates the blood vessels enabling them to work more efficiently
• Aids the elimination of toxins and waste products through increased lymphatic circulation.
• Restores the body’s vital energy flow (through the stimulation of the Sen Lines)
