Expect a highly efficient treatment and fast results. Please note: Dry-needling can deliver great results, but can slightly exhaust the nervous system for a day or two, so is not a good idea within two days of you requiring high workload out of the targeted muscles. Dry-needling is a highly effective technique used to target deep muscular tension and trigger points that are difficult to release through hands-on therapy alone. Dry-needling involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile acupuncture needles into specific points in the muscle to stimulate the nervous system to relax hypertonic (clenched) muscles, re-set pain communication, and increase blood flow. Combined with expert massage, dry needling can be a great tool for those that can tolerate needles.

Musculoskeletal Therapy primarily focuses on joints, fascia and nervous system (rather than deep work into muscles). When applied masterfully, it is an incredibly effective form of therapy on its own, as well as being very complimentary to deep tissue/ sports massage therapy. Our Musculoskeletal therapy consists of three primary skill sets; "mobilisation" to test and improve joint articulation, "myofascial release" to improve fascial function, and "neuromuscular facilitation" to ease muscle tension. Suitable for people of all ages and lifestyles wanting to take the best care of their body (athletes, non-athletes, chronic pain, chronic injury, training recovery, aches, pains, tension, postural rehab, sporting event prep, recent injury recovery, surgery, stroke, scoliosis). https://www.themusclemechanics.co.nz/otepoti daily 0.75 2026-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/b34e03c1-e1b8-4c41-97a3-ac7e9fbd07bf/Theo+The+Muscle+Mechanics+2023.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/a0114b85-1545-42dc-be38-2e9b667d7574/The+Muscle+Mechanics+-+Matt+profile.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/0ad96436-bd61-40bc-aacd-c9b64347f622/IMG_9760.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/603c7258-4340-4a82-afe5-297f8f17e1b1/tom.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/4cf8e84b-5cdb-4ae5-800c-14a5f46fd5ee/silverprofile.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/3ab90bbe-4dc9-403f-bc93-afad4f7fd13f/tempImageX6Mvbd.jpg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/827cadff-fb39-4c7b-be4e-f78f5bb4b9d6/IMG_1761.jpeg Dunedin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/e48cfce7-5af1-467d-b24d-56b6cd773066/TheMuscleMechanicOctober2023-28.jpg Dunedin - PREMIUM MASSAGE THERAPY IN CENTRAL DUNEDIN.

Whether it's relieving tension, reducing pain, or promoting relaxation, my goal is to provide a personalised experience that enhances overall well-being. In addition to my professional pursuits, I play netball, love spending time with friends, family and animals, particularly my horses. I am dedicated to continuous learning and keeping up with the latest advancements in the field of massage therapy. By combining my knowledge, skills, and genuine care for others, I aim to make a positive impact on the lives of those I have the privilege to treat.

So, if you want to have myofascial release techniques integrated into your treatment, please book a senior or lead therapist, and request this at the time of your appointment. Myofascial release massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on stretching superficial fascia, the connective tissue that makes up the framework of our muscles, organs and just about everything else in our body. By applying gentle sustained pressure to specific areas of the body, myofascial release massage can help reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and increase circulation and lymph fluid flow. It can be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries. It’s also a great treatment for those that don’t want the pain that can be involved with deeper tissue work. At our massage clinic, myofascial release massage will always be tailored to your body, and can be a powerful tool in helping you feel your best. Book an appointment today to experience the benefits of this therapeutic technique. https://www.themusclemechanics.co.nz/hot-stone-relaxation-massage daily 0.75 2024-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb866994197c65de33be493/1e9f4b70-a983-4c8d-91fe-3a0e1481440b/The+Muscle+Mechancis+Hot+Stone+Massage+Dunedin.png Hot Stone Relaxation Massage - Hot Stone Massage at The Muscle Mechanics Dunedin Indulge in the soothing warmth and therapeutic benefits of our hot stone massage.
