4 Wellness Services To Help You Reset Your Body

Sometimes, all your body needs is some TLC – but how do you know which wellness service to book? Should you try a remedial massage or opt for acupuncture? If you’re not sure which service would be right for you, then you’ve come to the right place! We all lead busy lives and so every now and again, we need to take some time out for ourselves so we can reset and make sure our body is in top shape.

So, if you’re looking for a wellness service to help you release any stress and tension your body may be carrying, then take a seat because we’ve rounded up the best wellness treatments you can book right here at Castle Towers.

Remedial massage

Remedial massage is a powerful form of soft tissue massage that helps to reduce pain and restore muscle and nerve function. This type of massage can also help to speed up the healing process if a part of your body has been injured or strained. This is the best massage to book in if you’ve got muscles that are knotted and tense due to an injury, as it will help locate the source of your pain and tackle both the cause of your tension as well as any related symptoms. We recommend booking a remedial massage appointment at Acupower Massage, where their knowledgeable team will also sit down and discuss your symptoms with you before beginning your treatment. They’ll make sure they have the full story to ensure you leave feeling light and tension-free. 

Deep tissue massage

A deep tissue massage is slightly different to a remedial massage. Deep tissue massages are designed to focus on any discomfort you may have in your body using firm massage techniques. This type of massage can be a little intense, so it’s not the best option if you’re looking for a more soothing massage experience. Deep tissue massages are brilliant for relieving muscle discomfort and if this sounds like something you sorely need, we recommend visiting the team at Acurepoint so they can loosen up any pesky muscle knots you may have. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical practice that’s been used for thousands of years. It’s been practised in Australia since the 1880s and is the most popular form of complementary medicine, as it helps to relieve pain and control most chronic conditions. Acupuncture involves fine, sterile, metal needles being inserted into specific points of your body called acupuncture points. There are up to 2,000 acupuncture points, however not every point may need to be stimulated during your session. Acupuncture is similar to dry needling, which is performed by physiotherapists. The difference between the two treatments is that acupuncture works to treat both pain and organ system issues, whereas dry needling mainly works to ease muscle tightness. If you’ve been thinking about trying acupuncture for the first time or are just looking for a new practitioner, we recommend visiting the team at Lee Massage & Acupuncture. They’ll discuss your symptoms with you and let you know what acupuncture points may need to be stimulated to improve your body’s overall function. They may also recommend other treatments to pair with your acupuncture session, like cupping or remedial massage. 

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, uses physical techniques to help improve body movement, reduce pain and stiffness, speed up the healing process, and increase your overall quality of life. A physiotherapist can diagnose and manage a broad range of conditions that affect everything from your bones to your nerves, and even your cardiovascular system! They can also help people manage chronic diseases, provide lifestyle advice, and prescribe specific exercises you can do to relieve muscle pain. If you’re looking for someone to help you manage body aches and improve your physical movement, we recommend heading to Fitness First – The Movement Clinic. Their helpful team will provide you with a full movement plan so you can feel more flexible and mobile throughout the day.
