General massage is a less specific form of bodywork using smooth, gentle to moderate pressure to address the body as a whole.

Neuromuscular therapy can be used to help prevent the above causes of pain and discomfort by addressing soft tissue tension and shortened muscles caused by trauma, such as a whiplash from an accident or repeated overuse, such as work -related improper posture. Neuromuscular therapy is different from general massage. It concentrates on the areas of involvement, which may include the symptoms as well as the causes of the symptoms. It involves constant feedback from the client in order to carry out the process successfully and achieve the maximum results. For the best results it will involve a commitment from the client to take active participation in their therapy.
Lymphatic Massage for Trauma
Lymph massage can support recovery from surgery or from a sports injury, due to the heavy demand they place on the lymph vessels. Lymph massage helps the body remove proteins and waste products from the affected area and reduce the swelling and inflammation. This in turn helps reduce pressure on the cells allowing them to reproduce faster to heal the body.
