Book AppointmentWhat does a session at Apex Massage Therapy look like?Â
At Apex Massage Therapy, we recognise that every body is unique - and so is every treatment. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we assess each client individually to identify the root cause of discomfort, pain, or mobility issues.
Our expertise allows us to tailor the most effective combination of techniques to treat your specific needs, ensuring results-driven therapy. Whether you require deep tissue work, targeted recovery techniques, or supportive therapies, we use what works best for you -Â all included in your session, with no hidden fees.
Here are some of the advanced treatments that may be used during your session:
Deep Tissue Sports Massage
A powerful, targeted massage technique designed to release deep-seated tension, break down adhesions (knots), and restore mobility.
Using firm pressure and slow strokes, deep tissue sports massage works on the deeper layers of muscles and fascia to improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance recovery - ideal for athletes and active individuals dealing with stiffness, muscle tightness, or injuries.
Cupping Therapy
An ancient therapy with modern applications, cupping involves placing suction cups on the skin to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote faster recovery.
By lifting and separating muscle layers, cupping helps relieve deep-seated tightness, improve mobility, and enhance lymphatic drainage. It’s particularly effective for treating chronic pain, muscle knots, and post-exercise soreness.
Â
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)
A cutting-edge manual therapy technique using specialized tools to detect and treat fascial restrictions, scar tissue, and chronic muscle tightness. IASTM applies controlled microtrauma to stimulate the healing response, breaking down adhesions and promoting better mobility and pain relief.
It’s highly effective for treating repetitive strain injuries, tendonitis, and post-surgical recovery.
Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling)
A precise and highly effective treatment that involves inserting fine needles into trigger points (tight muscle bands) to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve movement.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, medical acupuncture (dry needling) is based on Western medicine principles and is particularly effective for treating muscle dysfunction, chronic pain conditions, and sports injuries.
Kinesiology Taping
A dynamic taping method designed to support muscles and joints without restricting movement.
Kinesiology tape helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance proprioception (body awareness), making it ideal for injury recovery and performance enhancement. It provides support while allowing natural movement - perfect for athletes, post-rehabilitation, and everyday active individuals.
