1 Hour 20 Mins - €100

1 Hour 30 Mins - €110

Please beware when booking in for this appointment , the cups may leave a mark on your skin. Deep Tissue Cupping Massage is a combination of massage techniques and cupping techniques. Cups or cupping have been used in healing in many countries for hundreds of years, in china cupping is an integral part of Chinese medicine and this ancient therapy dates back 5000 years. In Russia cups are still used today by doctors as the first method before antibiotics are prescribed and all households would have a set of cups as part of their medical chest. Malta and other Mediterranean countries have a history of using cups in healing but sadly this practice is fading. Traditionally cups, which can be made of glass or bamboo, are applied to the skin surface by inserting ignited material into the cup to create a vacuum on the skin. This would be called hot cupping but these days you're able to create the same vacuum but without heat, this is called cold cupping. This is the cupping which I provide. Essentially Chinese cupping is the art of creating space between the surfaces of the body and deep tissue layers to allow blood, fluids, QI ( energy), and the lymphatic system to flow freely.

Benefits of Cupping:

  • Warming and promoting the free flow of energy and blood in the body
  • Helping to relieve edema and pain
  • Helping with congestion
  • Aiding in circulation
  • Boosting immune system
  • Calms the nervous system
  • Help to release scar and fascial adhesion
  • Reduced painful trigger points
  • Help relieve pain
  • Helps promote mobility and range of motion
Cupping is suitable for mostly everyone but if in doubt please feel free to talk to me with any questions or queries.

Dry Needling

30 Mins - €50

1 Hour - €80

1 Hour 20 Mins - €100

Please be mindful, if this is your first time coming for a dry needling appointment and have an aversion to needles or faint easily, I wouldn't recommend this treatment. Can sometimes little marks on the skin from where the needle has gone in.

Dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling and intramuscular stimulation. During a dry needling treatment, one or more thin, monofilament needles are inserted into a muscle trigger point. A trigger point is a local band of tight, irritable, and dysfunctional muscle tissue. This often emerges because of injury, overuse or poor movement patterns. Trigger points can disrupt your muscle function, restrict your range of motion, or cause pain and tenderness.

Dry Needling utilizes a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin, fascia, and muscles to address adhesions, trigger points, and connective tissue. This speeds healing, blood flow and relieves pain by decreasing muscle hypertonicity (tightness), increasing joint range of motion, and correcting movement dysfunction through releasing a trigger point adhesion.Patients often report immediate relief after treatment. The needles remain in your muscles for a short period of time — between 10 seconds and 20 minutes — during treatment. This depends on the treatment location, number of needles used, and treatment goals.The needles used are solid and don't inject liquid into your body. It's the reason this treatment is referred to as "dry." All forms of acupuncture use dry needles as well. Although Dry Needling is not based on the philosophy of Acupuncture, it uses the same type of needles and some of the same pressure points in the body. The effect is both local (where the needle is applied) and general, causing relaxation and an overall sense of wellbeing. Dry needling is a safe technique for treating many neuromusculoskeletal conditions, including shoulder pain, rotator cuff pain, biceps tendinitis, iliotibial band syndrome, Achilles tendinitis, low back pain, tennis elbow, whiplash or neck pain, headaches, muscle strains, hip pain, and temporomandibular pain, also called TMJ. Is dry needling painful? It depends on person to person, but most patients often experience a mild, dull ache during treatment and up to 24 hours post-treatment. Some discomfort is experienced during the rapid 'twitch response'( twitch of the muscle) but this discomfort is minimal and last only a few seconds. It is normal to have mild to moderate muscle soreness after dry needling treatment. Drinking lots of water, stretching, moving your body and heating the sore muscles can reduce the duration of the soreness. Side effects include mild muscle soreness and bruising in some patients.


Reflexology

We do a gentle exfoliation at the start of this treatment followed by a reflexology treatment.


Lomi Lomi Massage (Hawaiian massage)

1 Hour 30 Mins - €110

2 Hours - €140

Hawaiian Lomi lomi massage - or "Loving Hands" massage is an ancient Hawaiian energy-based massage technique used by the kahunas (Hawaiian native healers), in which deep muscles are rigorously manipulated to bring balance within that persons Huna (energy flow). The therapist’s goal is to help rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit by removing energy blockages and opening energy pathways within the client’s body. The free-flowing strokes that typify Lomi Lomi has many of the same benefits of traditional Swedish massage: improved circulation and immune response, increased range of motion and flexibility, improved posture, faster healing, slower heart rate and lower blood pressure and creating balance. The strokes can be long, smooth, and relaxing, or quick and invigorating. The key is that the massage therapist and the client are working in tandem. Like Swedish massage oil is applied directly on skin, is covered by a small sheet or towel leaving most of the body exposed during the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage, whilst maintaining the client’s modesty, this is done as it makes it a lot easier to perform the upper-body and full body strokes without interrupting the flow of the massage.
