Dry Needling

In conjunction with Remedial massage, Art is excited to now provide Dry Needling treatments.

Dry needling works by relaxing muscle fibres, reducing pain and restoring normal function.  It can be helpful in treating acute and chronic pain including: Tension headaches, pain, injuries and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, elbows, lower back, jaw, knee, ankles and heels.

Dry needling is also great for joint pain including Osteoarthritis in the hips, knees and elbows.

Head, Neck & Foot Massage Treatments

This includes roughly 15 minutes on the head and neck with 45 minutes concentrating on the feet. Working with the feet she works on reflex points that will offer relief of lower back tension and pain and working along meridians that have reflex action on the whole body.

The feet have 26 pressure points that help stimulate internal organs so your whole body gets a work out.

Whilst this treatment feels amazing, it also beneficial for:

  • Stress and anxiety

  • lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension

  • headaches, colds, blocked sinuses

  • general health and wellbeing

  • people who spend a lot of time on computers

  • people who stand a lot for their work

  • or for those who just love getting their feet massaged!
