Tiger Services
Appointment Types
Assessment & Consultation
During a consultation we will discuss the reasons you have sought out a massage treatment, what you would like help with, and how things will proceed. This is a safe space for you to share as little or as much as you like, I will listen and try interpret your needs and your explanation of what's occurring. We will set a goal and a benchmark in order record an outcome. Orthopaedic testing and/or special tests may be applied to help understand what the problem may be.
Clinical Massage
A very specific treatment for alleviating pain and increasing range of motion. Utilises very specific techniques designed to improve sports injuries, RSI, and chronic pain conditions. This is usually joint specific; neck and shoulders, or lower back for example. It can be too much for systemic issues where fatigue and recovery are a priority concern.
Like the Bengal Tiger, this is the classic treatment that you would seek me out for. Pain relief, improved quality of life and function.
Hot Rocks
A fusion of clinical massage work with hot stones. Useful with particularly hypertonic muscle tissue that is often hyper sensitive and irritable. Heat is extremely useful for calming the central nervous system and in turn the muscle tissue. May not be suitable for inflammatory conditions during a flare up.
Tiger Fusion
A full body, blended treatment, utilising a mix of modalities such as clinical work, myofascial work, table Thai and broad work. Suitable for clients experiencing emotional issues and MSK injuries for example, clients in extreme amounts of pain, or particularly sensitive clients.
This treatment can and will be adapted intuitively and according to individual needs, like the Tiger, it has no rules, and blends the Classic Bengal, the Survivor Sumatran and the Big Siberian.
Tiger Balance & Restore.
Suitable for stress and chronic pain conditions. This is a beautiful combination of fascial work, heat application (hot stones) and breath work. Perfect for alleviating stress, using heat and specific acupressure points to calm the central nervous system. Excellent for use with respiratory conditions, and systemic conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Parkinson's, osteoporosis . This is a broad yet powerful treatment.
