Therapeutic Bodywork

Therapeutic bodywork is a combination of techniques and therapies put together for a specific treatment for each individual. This is something Oonagh has developed using her unique set of skills and years of clinical experience. She uses sports massage with remedial and deep tissue techniques plus myofascial release for health and well being. Oonagh uses these skills together to provide a balancing and restorative remedial treatment useful in many situations. Therapeutic bodywork can help to promote balance and good health while  releasing physical and emotional stress. It can help with digestive problems, poor sleep, back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, RSI, carpal tunnel and more. It is great for correcting postural problems with specific use of connective tissue massage and MFR. She also assesses postural alignment and uses the Alexander Barrie System of Pelvic Correction® to remedy problems in pelvic alignment. These are not manipulative techniques but use soft tissues and exercise to make the corrections. Pelvic misalignment can be the causative and/or maintaining factor in many biomechanical problems.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Fascia is connective tissue that runs around and through every structure in the body. It surrounds and protects all other tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments and abdominal organs. It is a continuous web and restriction in one part can affect the rest of the body. With myofascial release techniques using long low load stretches of the tissues form and function can be restored helping to ease pain and remove restriction. This technique can be given as a stand alone treatment or as part of your massage session.  

Treatment during Pregnancy

Oonagh has been trained to apply all treatments safely during pregnancy. During the first 12 weeks massage is contraindicated however craniosacral therapy and healing are safe to receive. Once in the second trimester massage treatments can be given right up to birth although massage would be given in a side lying position and this would be without essential oils.
