WHAT IS PERFORMANCE MASSAGE?
It is widely recognised that when our bodies are functioning at their optimum we are better able to manage physical and mental tasks. Regardless of what level of fitness you are at, each stage requires attention, in many forms, for us to perform at our best. People returning to fitness after a period of down time can be more prone to injury, and top athletes require help managing their condition in order to recover, train and perform better. Even a stressed mind can affect tension in the body, leading to a chicken-or-egg cycle of dysfunction.
Performance Massage is an area of specialisation that draws on techniques from sports, rehabilitation, functional and relaxation massage, in order to best address physical issues relating to overall performance. Collectively and over time, this approach to massage works towards a healthier, better functioning, better performing muscular, lymphatic and nervous system.
INTRODUCING THE ELDOA METHOD
The ELDOA method was developed by French Osteopath Guy Voyer Do with the goal of increasing the space in our joints. Significant health benefits can be achieved by decompressing (decoapting or ungluing) our joints.
ELDOA is a practice that involves performing and holding specific postures for up to 60 seconds. These postures work to stretch the Myofascial tissues – fibrous, connective tissues that supports muscles, joints and bones throughout the body.
Participants can benefit from an improvement in joint mechanics, increased blood flow, reduced pressure on the discs, a reduction of pain, spinal disc rehydration, improved posture, and a greater sense of well-being and body awareness.
Kiri is a practitioner of the official method and frequently participates in ongoing training. She offers both one-on-one and group classes to clients who want an excellent compliment to the management of their overall health.
