Myotherapy (SLM Bodywork)

Myotherapy can be described as Advanced Remedial Massage, however it is so much more. The unique form of Myotherapy used at Sundstrom Bodywork is known as SLM Bodywork (“SLM” stands for Steve Lockhart Myotherapy).

Whereas Remedial Massage is about only taking tension from specific muscles, SLM always treats the entire body as a whole continually moving around it, stimulating flaccid muscles through various nerve lines, restoring length and function to permanently contracted muscles and removing muscle imbalances which in turn realigns the skeleton so that pressure is released from joints, allowing pain and inflammation to disappear.

Put simply, SLM is a fast and effective way of returning the body to its normal balanced state, while treating the root cause of the problem rather than just the symptom, so that the results last.

If you suffer from acute or chronic pain or injury then you should definitely experience the difference that SLM treatment can achieve for you. Athletes will also benefit greatly from the injury prevention protection that regular SLM treatment provides.

SLM Relaxation Massage

This is a full body relaxation massage which will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated, refreshed and ready to face the everyday pressures of life again!

The SLM Massage format is based on Steve Lockhart Myotherapy however, please note that SLM Massage is not intended for treating musculoskeletal related issues. Book in for a Myotherapy treatment instead if you are experiencing these.

Swedish Relaxation Massage

As the name suggests, this is purely a relaxing form of massage that generally does not include any deep muscle work (unless requested). A Swedish Massage session usually involves the use of several or all of the following techniques: effleurage, pétrissage, friction, vibration, and tapotement.

Please note that relaxation massages are not intended for treating musculoskeletal related issues. Book in for a Myotherapy treatment instead if you are experiencing these.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a soothing and relaxing treatment which helps to relieve many of the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy, by providing pain relief from muscle tension, back pain, stiff neck, headaches, leg cramps, foot pain and oedema (swelling related to fluid retention not due to pre-eclampsia).

Massage can also assist with reducing the amount of stress on weight-bearing joints, encouraging healthy circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body and releasing serotonin, endorphins and dopamine which soothe your nervous system and can aid in better sleep patterns, whilst also helping to calm any anxiety and depression caused by your changing hormones. Take this much needed time for yourself and your bub-to-be during your pregnancy.
