Trigger Point Therapy (50 min) $150, (80 min) $220
A Trigger Point is a hypersensitive spot within the muscle which, when a muscle becomes contracted or tight it is the focus area of tightness. It is tender when compressed and if sufficiently sensitive, gives rise to referred pain to another area. A common example of this referred pain is a tension headache, a Trigger Point in the upper trapezius muscle, when active, will refer up into the head (as seen below). This is one muscle of many which can produce headache pain.

The fastest way to release a contracted muscle and the pain producing Trigger Point is by compressing the exact spot where the Trigger Point is located; this relaxes the Trigger Point and consequently releases the whole muscle. Our knowledge and understanding of Trigger Points was greatly assisted by the work of a Dr Janet Travell, she documented each Trigger Point and it’s characteristic pain pattern. When a massage therapist has a good knowledge of each trigger point and where the pain refers they can effectively relieve tightness and pain.

Naturopathy Consultations

Naturopathy is a complete system of health care guided by the healing power of nature, based on the principles of first doing no harm, finding the cause, prevention, education and most importantly treating the whole person - not only the disease. Naturopathic practitioners are trained to identify and treat dysfunction long before it manifests as a diagnosable disease. In so doing there is an important focus on prevention, although they can also support a client back to wellness from a diagnosed disease. The naturopathic philosophy maintains that the body can heal itself if given the right conditions. The process of maintaining this healthy internal balance is called homeostasis. Naturopathy believes that illness is more likely to occur if the body is 'knocked out' of homeostasis by lifestyle or environmental factors.
