In a world that encourages hustle over rest, fast food over nourishment, and screens over stillness, choosing to care for your physical, mental, and emotional health is becoming a luxury.

Every time you prioritize sleep, movement, clean food, or mindfulness, you're quietly challenging systems that profit from burnout, illness, and disconnection.

Rebellion doesn't always look loud—it can be as simple and sacred as getting yourself a massage.

| 🏋️‍♂️ This treatment is for those with an active lifestyle who require regular maintenance or recovery support.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or gym rat, training for your next big event, or simply moving more than you used to, if you enjoy pushing your body to its limits and want to maintain optimal performance – this one is for you.

Expect a deep, targeted, and thorough full-body treatment that focuses on easing muscular tension, improving flexibility, aiding recovery, and preventing injury. This massage is not about relaxation (though you’ll walk out feeling lighter) – it’s tailored to support your performance, recovery, and longevity.

Your body works hard. Let’s give it the support it deserves.

| In the midst of hectic schedules and overwhelming responsibilities, prioritizing self-care becomes even more crucial. When you lack the time to care for yourself, the risk of burnout and diminished well-being escalates. Neglecting self-care in such demanding circumstances can lead to increased stress, exhaustion, and a decline in overall mental and physical health.

Paradoxically, the busier you are, the more essential it becomes to carve out moments for self-care. Taking brief breaks to recharge, whether through mindfulness exercises, a relaxing massage, short walks, or just remembering to take a few deep breaths, can enhance focus and productivity. Neglecting self-care may result in a downward spiral of diminished efficiency and effectiveness, further exacerbating the time constraints.

🎯 Following Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles, Myofascial Dry Needling (MDN) involves the insertion of thin filament needles into trigger points—chronic knots within muscles and connective tissue—commonly associated with a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.

Dry Needling works by creating a microscopic lesion that triggers a local inflammatory response, increasing blood flow and promoting tissue healing. This mechanical stimulation helps break up dysfunctional tissue, scar tissue, and adhesions.

It also disrupts the neuromuscular loop—where nerves continuously signal muscles to stay tight—by eliciting a local twitch response (LTR), a brief reflexive contraction followed by rapid relaxation. This resets muscle tone, recalibrates pain perception, reduces central sensitization, and ultimately provides long-lasting relief by addressing the root cause: dysfunctional motor endplates or taut muscle bands.

It’s a safe and effective method for relieving pain and improving range of motion, by releasing stubborn knots that massage alone often can’t resolve.

Your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia are the foundation of every movement you make—whether you're lifting, running, or sitting at a desk clicking a mouse all day. When this soft tissue becomes overused, underused, restricted, tight, or inflamed, it can limit mobility, reduce strength output, and throw off your biomechanical patterns.

That’s where we come in. By utilising massage, myofascial dry needling, and assisted stretching, we help your body move the way it’s meant to—smoothly, strongly, and pain-free.

💆‍♀️ Swedish massage promotes relaxation and overall well-being. It utilizes a combination of long, flowing strokes, kneading, tapping, and friction techniques to manipulate the body’s soft tissues.

This gentle approach helps increase blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, calm the nervous system and improve flexibility. Making it suitable for not only those looking to alleviate discomfort, but also unwind from stress or simply indulge in an hour of tranquility.

Pushing your body in training is only half the equation—real progress happens in recovery. That’s when your body rebuilds, adapts, and gets stronger. Whether you're smashing PBs or training for your first marathon, give your body the care it needs by booking regular treatments to keep functioning at your best.

Massage and other manual therapies boost circulation, reduce inflammation, remove knots and ease muscle tension, increase range of motion and help your nervous system shift into rest mode. This means faster recovery, fewer injuries, and better performance.

Move better, feel better, and recover like a pro with Body Align Health.

🤝 This hands-on technique involves moving through a series of controlled stretches that target the myofascial lines—interconnected pathways of muscles and fascia that form continuous networks throughout the body.

Unlike self-stretching, assisted stretching incorporates breathwork, static and dynamic techniques, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), allowing you to fully relax while the practitioner safely increases your range of motion.

This integrated approach helps release tension and reduce pain caused by tight or overactive muscles. It also improves posture, flexibility, and mobility; enhances performance; reduces the risk of injury; and supports overall biomechanical function.

Also available as an 'add-on' to compliment other treatments.

| Scapula Pain
Michael recently increased the intensity of his training and began experiencing pain in multiple areas around the scapula, which was taking longer than usual to subside. After thorough palpation, we identified chronic knots (trigger points) in several muscles, all of which referred pain to the areas where he had been feeling prolonged discomfort.

To alleviate Michael’s pain, I inserted needles directly into the trigger points responsible for the discomfort in the following muscles:
•Rhomboids: These muscles retract, elevate, and rotate the scapula. They also help protract the medial border of the scapula, keeping it in position along the posterior thoracic wall.
•Supraspinatus: This muscle facilitates abduction of the arm and pulls the head of the humerus medially towards the glenoid cavity.
•Infraspinatus: Primarily responsible for external rotation of the humerus, this muscle also plays a key role in stabilizing the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint.

Following the dry needling treatment, remedial techniques and assisted stretching were applied to support the healing of the treated tissues.

| Achilles Tendinitis
Deb began to experience a mild ache above the heel after increasing the intensity of her training for an upcoming marathon. A sudden increase in load on the Achilles tendon is one the most common causes of mild tendonitis. Tight calf muscles could also put extra stress on the Achilles tendon.

The Achilles tendon ranks as the strongest and largest tendon in the human body and allows for plantar flexion of the foot and propulsion in actions such as walking, running, and jumping; it also acts as a shock absorber.

Achilles tendinitis is acute inflammation of the tendon, a natural response to injury which often causes swelling, pain, or irritation. It typically begins as a mild ache in the back of the leg or above the heel after an increased load in the tendon - generally from sports and running. You might also experience tenderness or stiffness, especially in the morning, which usually improves with mild activity. Episodes of more severe pain may occur after prolonged running, stair climbing, or sprinting. Serious cases of Achilles tendonitis can lead to tendon tears (ruptures) that may require surgical repair.

Unlike muscle tissue, tendons don't get a significant supply of blood, which delivers the nutrients that are essential for healing. The less blood that's delivered, the longer it takes for tissue to heal. Add to that the sheer size of the Achilles tendon, and you're in for a lengthy recovery. However, this is where dry needling comes into play. Dry needling helps promote the healing process in an area of tendinosis or chronic tendon injuries by stimulating blood flow to the area, bringing with it growth factors that trigger stem cell recruitment, stimulation of fibroblasts, and induction of the healing cascade.

| TMJ Dysfunction
Paul has been suffering from TMJ issues for quite some time, creating pain and tenderness on the left side of his face, neck, and shoulder, as well as headaches. Other common symptoms include difficulty opening and closing the mouth, and ear/toothaches.

One of the most used joints in the body, the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) produces the wide array of movements our lower jaw (mandible) is capable of. Dysfunction in the TMJ can stem from teeth grinding (a common symptom of stress/ADHD), jaw injuries, arthritis, and everyday wear and tear. This leads to overused, tight muscles and a build-up of chronic knots (trigger points) that can cause reduced range of motion and muscular pain which can also refer elsewhere.

To alleviate Paul's pain, we targeted Trigger Points in the following TMJ muscles:
Temporalis: Moves the mandible up, back, and side-to-side.
Masseter: Powerful elevation of the mandible, causing the mouth to close.
Digastric: Raises the tongue base and depresses the mandible for opening, chewing, and speech.
Lateral Pterygoid: Depresses the mandible and opens the mouth.

And the following muscles in his neck and shoulder:
SCM (Sternocleidomastoid): Rotates the head to the opposite side and flexes the neck.
Scalenes: Elevates the first and second rib, and flexes and laterally bends the neck.
Upper Trapezius: Elevates and upwardly rotates the scapula and extends the neck.

Post-needling, remedial techniques and stretching were used to aid the healing process of the tissues that were needled.

If you suffer from TMJ issues, book your Myofascial Dry Needling treatment today to experience just how effective it really is.
