Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy for injury treatment, pain relief and relaxation
Massage therapy is the practice of applying manual pressure to the superficial and deeper layers of muscle using the hands, forearms and elbows.
Massage reduces muscle pain, enhances flexibility and promotes relaxation to aid in the healing process.
At Velca, we employ therapeutic massage as part of the healing process; it helps to speed recovery by reducing scar tissue, enhancing the removal of waste products and improving blood circulation throughout the body. Massage therapy is also used for relaxation and a variety of other health conditions such as:
Muscle spasms
Repetitive strain injury (such as carpal tunnel syndrome)
Post-injury rehabilitation
All of our Massage Therapy is performed in a professional setting. Clients are treated while lying on a massage table with non-treatment areas remaining covered for patient privacy and respect. We see massage as an important part of the pain treatment process; we take care that every client feels comfortable during their time with us.
If you’re suffering with a long-term chronic condition, massage should be considered to help you regain comfort, maintain function and avoid setbacks with your muscular health. At Velca Health Centre in Howick, your first consultation with our massage therapists will help to decide what kind of massage would be appropriate to alleviate your discomfort and aid the corrective process of healing.
Therapeutic massage is just one aspect of our unique Velca Method of pain relief.
