Massage and Rehabilitation Therapy Treatments
Tailored Massage and Rehabilitation Therapy to Support Recovery and Improve Quality of Life
Rehabilitation therapy is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at helping individuals recover, regain functionality, and improve their quality of life after an injury, illness, or surgery. It focuses on restoring physical, psychological, and social well-being, tailored to the specific needs of each person.
Rehabilitation therapy
Clinical massage is a specialised form of therapeutic massage that focuses on addressing specific medical conditions, injuries, or chronic pain. Unlike general relaxation massages, clinical massage is outcome-based — meaning it’s customised to meet the individual needs of each client.
Clinical Massage Therapy
Deep Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Manual drainage to improve circulation and immune function
Deep lymphatic drainage massage, also known as lymphatic drainage massage or manual lymphatic drainage, is a specialised massage technique that helps move lymphatic fluid through the body. It involves gentle and deeper techniques manipulating specific body areas to help lymphatic fluid move to an area with working lymph vessels. This massage technique aims to help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions.
Key Benefits
- Promotes circulation and recovery
- Supports immune system function
- Reduces fluid retention and swelling
- Encourages detoxification
- Neuromuscular (Trigger Point) Therapy
Sports Massage
Correcting imbalances and improving performance
Sports massage is a form of massage involving soft tissue manipulation to benefit individuals engaged in regular physical activity. Soft tissue refers to connective tissue that hasn’t hardened into bone or cartilage, including skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds and supports other soft tissues).
Sports massage is designed to help correct imbalances caused by repetitive or strenuous activity and trauma. When applied before or after exercise, it may enhance performance, support recovery, and help prevent injury.
Key Benefits
- Supports physical performance and recovery
- Reduces risk of injury
- Helps correct soft tissue imbalances
- Improves flexibility and mobility
- Promotes circulation in muscles and fascia
Deep Tissue Massage
Relieves tension and promotes deep recovery
Deep tissue massage offers both physical and psychological benefits. It can relieve muscle pain and stiffness, while also providing stress-relieving relaxation for the body and mind.
This treatment focuses on musculoskeletal issues like strains and sports injuries, using slow, deep strokes and sustained pressure to reach the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. It helps break up scar tissue, reduce muscle tension, and promotes faster healing by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Key Benefits
- Targets chronic muscle pain and stiffness
- Reduces inflammation and scar tissue buildup
- Improves deep circulation
- Supports injury recovery
- Promotes mental and physical relaxation
Myofascial Tissue & Trigger Point Release Therapy
Relieving chronic tightness and referred pain
Myofascial release is a form of physical therapy used to treat myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic condition caused by sensitivity and tightness in muscle tissues.
Pain often results from tight fascia, the thin tissues surrounding your muscles. These restrictions can be localised or affect referred areas of the body. This therapy targets trigger points — specific areas within the fascia — to relieve tension and reduce pain.
Key Benefits
- Reduces chronic muscular tension
- Releases trigger points and tight fascia
- Helps restore full range of motion
- Eases pain in referred areas
- Supports recovery from trauma or strain
Origin / Insertion Therapy
Stimulating muscle attachment points for strength and relief
Origin/Insertion Therapy, also known as the Origin-Insertion Technique, is used in applied kinesiology and manual therapy. It targets the muscle attachment points — where muscles join to bones — by applying firm massage to stimulate the Golgi tendon organs.
This therapy is often used when small, palpable lumps form at these attachment sites due to prior trauma or micro-tears. The goal is to relieve pain, reduce weakness, and restore proper muscle function.
Key Benefits
- Stimulates muscle strength and function
- Targets pain from tendon trauma
- Helps reduce sensitivity at attachment points
- Supports long-term injury rehabilitation
- Restores proper muscle engagement
Stress Relief & Management
Addressing chronic pain through emotional and physical care
Studies suggest that chronic pain may stem not only from injury, but also from stress and emotional trauma. People with PTSD or emotional distress are often more likely to experience long-term physical pain.
Chronic pain can limit movement and lead to depression, anxiety, and even medication dependency. At John Young’s clinic, there’s a strong focus on chronic pain management, providing both treatment and emotional reassurance to help clients feel understood and supported.
Key Benefits
- Addresses the root of chronic pain
- Provides relief without medication reliance
- Supports emotional wellbeing
- Reduces stress-related tension
- Helps restore functional movement
