Benefits of Disability and Special needs Massage
Pain management: Many people with disabilities experience chronic pain due to muscle tension, spasms or other physical factors. Massage therapy can help alleviate pain by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation and promoting relaxation.
Improved circulation: Individuals with disabilities may have compromised circulation due to limited mobility or other health conditions. Massage techniques can stimulate blood flow, which can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, promote healing and reduce swelling.
Enhanced mobility and flexibility: Massage therapy can help improve joint mobility and flexibility by loosening tight muscles, releasing adhesions and improving tissue elasticity. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis or arthritis.
Stress reduction and relaxation: Living with a disability can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. Massage therapy provides a calming and nurturing experience that can help reduce stress, anxiety and depression while promoting overall well-being and quality of life.
Enhanced body awareness and proprioception: Massage therapy can help individuals with disabilities develop a better understanding of their bodies and improve proprioception (awareness of body position and movement). This can contribute to improved balance, coordination and overall movement skills.
Reduction of secondary complications: Individuals with disabilities may be at increased risk of developing secondary complications such as pressure ulcers, contractures or muscle atrophy. Regular massage therapy can help prevent or alleviate these complications by promoting circulation, maintaining muscle tone and reducing tissue adhesions.
Emotional well-being and social connection: Massage therapy offers a supportive and compassionate environment where individuals with disabilities can feel valued, accepted and cared for. It provides an opportunity for positive touch and human connection, which can improve mood, self-esteem and social interaction.
Complementary therapy to other treatments: Massage therapy can complement other treatments and interventions for individuals with disabilities, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or chiropractic care. It can enhance the effectiveness of these treatments by addressing soft tissue issues, promoting relaxation and supporting overall healing and recovery.
How Our Disability and Special needs Massage service Works
We make it effortless and comfortable for everyone to experience our massaging services. Whether it's for yourself or a loved one, each massage is tailored to meet your unique needs.
Prior to your session, we engage in a Health Assessment, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your individual circumstances. From there, simply unwind and relax as we handle the rest, as massages can be performed on a massage table, chair, or bed depending on your preference or requirements. Our adept and certified massage therapists diligently adapt each session to accommodate for your health status and any specific conditions you may have.
For added convenience, massages can be paid by your NDIS funding, allowing for regular sessions on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
