Our Techniques

Describing the techniques we use in our therapies

Bowen Therapy

The Bowen Technique is a holistic, hands-on therapy that can be performed through light clothing as well as on skin. As a holistic therapy, the Bowen Technique takes into account the body as a whole rather than focusing on a specific condition.

The idea is to reduce pain by stimulating the nervous system and rebalancing the body.

PNF Stretching

PNF ( Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)

is a stretching technique that can improve a range of motion. I use PNF to help people regain their range of motion after surgery or Injury.

PNF is also used to help stroke patients to reactivate damaged areas in the brain.

However, it can aslo be used by athletes to improve their flexibility.

PNF can be very well combined with Sports massage!

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone therapy is a specialist massage that uses smooth, flat, heated basalt stones. The warmth of the stones relaxes the muscles, soothes and melts the tensions away and leaving the skin smooth and radiant.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is proven to release and reduce tensions in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body.

All of this helps to promote recovery and reduces the change of muscle injury.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social
intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of various
mental health conditions, primarily depression and
anxiety disorders. CBT is one of the most effective means
of treatment of substance abuse and co-occuring mental
health disorders.
