Remedial Massage

The remedial massage therapy techniques used at Vida touch are used as stand alone techniques or a combination of techniques – Massage Therapy : Indication, Benefits, Type, Technique

^{_{sports massage – Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. Sports massage has three basic forms: pre-event massage, post-event massage, and maintenance massage.}}

^{deep tissue massage-Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots}

_{^{Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions.The use of Myofascial Release techniques promotes proper body mechanics movement, self treatment instruction, enhance body strength, improve flexibility, and correct faulty posture and educates client on movement awareness.}}

myofascial cupping massage – Myofascial Cupping involves the gliding of pressurised cups over the body aiming form muscle and tissue restrictions and can be accompanied by joint mobilisation. It is a very different technique to traditional cupping, it lifts and separates’ soft tissue,. this in turn can increase nutrient-rich blood supply to the tissue, while giving a gentle passive stretch to the underlying soft tissue. The benefits of Myofascial Cupping are assisting the body in maintaining Range Of Motion, eliminating Myofascial Trigger Points and reducing restrictive and sometimes painful fascial adhesions commonly found from repetitive movement originating from sports and the workplace. By reducing fascial adhesions, while encouraging optimal hydration levels of soft tissue, myofascial cupping can reduce the impact of injury and maintaining functional soft tissue.

trigger point therapy –

Trigger points are painful spots in the muscle tissue that radiate pain to other areas. A trigger point is an indication that the body has experienced some form of physiological dysfunction, such as poor posture, repetitive mechanical stress, a mechanical imbalance such as legs of different lengths, or acute trauma. A unique feature of trigger points is that they almost always refer pain to other areas of the body.

Trigger points are part of a protective mechanism of your body, an important defense reflex that keeps your body safe. Problems occur when the reflex misfires or doesn’t switch off – causing ongoing pain and stiffness.

Trigger point therapy is a technique used by the therapist to locate the trigger point by feeling out the points of tension, using holding and stretching techniques to manipulate the holding point to reduce the pain and “deactivate” the point.

muscle energy technique(MET) – Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a manual therapy that uses the gentle muscle contractions of the patient to relax and lengthen muscles and normalize joint motion. MET i is “a direct manipulative procedure that uses a voluntary contraction of the patient’s muscles against a distinctly controlled counter-force from a precise position and in a specific direction”. It is considered an active technique, as opposed to a passive technique where only the massage therapist does the work.

cranio sacral therapy – Spa Menus | Cullinan Belek

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that focuses on the wave-like rhythmic pulse that goes through the entire body. This therapy stems from osteopathy, which is an approach that emphasizes the role of the musculoskeletal system in health and disease.

reflexology. – Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet or hands. Reflexologists believe that these reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, and that pressing them has a beneficial effect on the person’s health.

Although reflexology is not used to diagnose or cure health disorders, millions of people around the world use it to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.

Corrective exercise – Corrective exercise is the use of specific stylized movements that are designed to increase the functional ability of structures within the musculoskeletal system, lymphatic system and other body systems the aim of corrective exercise is to increase body function, prevent injury, and be used to correct dysfunctions and maintain chronic conditions

Along with your remedial massage treatment an assessment of your body and condition is included, on conclusion of your assessment a treatment plan is formulated, notes are taken before and after each treatment to document progress and future treatment plans, corrective exercise maybe prescribed as part of your plan by your therapist.

Remedial massage is about correcting dysfunctions,offering support during treatment plan, re education, tools and tips for managing and preventing any further dysfunctions

Specialty Treatment

Lomi Lomi is a unique Healing massage originating from the ancient Polynesians, who were master healers from Hawaii.

This treatment has many different functions, it can be used as a therapeutic that works on the surface and is just used for relaxation, or it can be used to go deeper into the emotions and connect with the soul and its purpose

An alternative name for lomi lomi is loving hands massage

Traditionally this massage uses acupressure like methods, myofascial stretching, stroking, kneading and energy Field Healing to release blocked energy, that manifests as muscle tension, skeletal misalignment, tissue distortion, physical or emotional pain.

The use of these techniques are an important part of this massage, and equally important part of this massage is LOVE, the practitioner has loving hands and a loving heart, combined together they formed the lomi lomi, this then enables the receiver to relax their entire being, assisting in letting go of old belief patterns and behaviours, which are stored in the cells of our body. Lomilomi helps release the blockages, at the same time giving the energy new direction, the outcome of the treatment depends on the level of change the receiver is willing to accept.

The physical benefits of the Lomi lomi are, it has profound effect on the development of the muscles and activity of the bloods and nervous system. It relieves muscle spasms and increases the rate of the nutrients brought to the muscles by the blood, without increasing lactic acid production, it stimulates the lymphatic system to release waste, it is also helpful to injuries of ligaments, tendons, it restores vitality and heightens metabolism.

The aim of the Lomi lomi massage is to rejuvenate the mind and body, remove blocked energy and open energy path ways in the body, recall soul fragments, which in turn offer freedom from old patterns and limitations.

A Lomi lomi session runs for 90 minutes and must be prebooked

130 euro per session

Testimonials

I came in touch with Vida Healing through my Nephew, he had a significant life health issue for several years and even with extensive standard medical treatment he made little progress. Within a short period of time going to Donna his progress was so beyond expectations that other family members have been to her clinic with successful outcomes.

AS for me, I’m a middle aged man, and had an embarrassing problem in the waterworks department for over 18 Months (No Control), I couldn’t fully empty after peeing, even after spending minutes to ensure I had finished and felt I had nothing left, time and time again I would dribble on my pants this led to really, really embarrassing moments both in work and out socially. The medics and remedies I tried had no effect, the only thing I could do to make it less noticeable was to ware very dark trousers. I really wondered, if this was it for the rest of my life.

Having seen my nephew’s incredible improvements and listening to him continually laud the changes he was feeling. I went to Donna in October 2016 to see if she could help and thankfully she did. I can honestly say I felt as though something had changed during that one session. And when I went to the men’s room that evening I knew before I had finished, that my battle was nearly finished, it felt different, this was a natural flow and I began to get the feeling of control, of being able to stop and re start. The feeling was so good and I was so pleased, that I laughed all the way through my happiest pee in nearly 2 years. Within 2 days I was right as rain, stop start, stop start, no dribbles, no problem, no looking back. Thanks to Donna.

I commend Donna for her intuitive, caring and sensitive nature and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her empathic health enhancing skills to anyone looking to restore balance and wellbeing around health issues.
Grateful & Contented

I first met Donna after a traumatic relationship breakdown. That particular relationship was a culmination of years of abusive partnerships that had plagued my life. Growing up in a violent home, had trained me to accept abuse. Donna’s treatments, firstly targeted the physical alignments I presented with but her energy work began to shift old patterns in my psyche. I never thought I would ever believe in love and partnership again but Donna’s healing hands set me on the healing path and recovery. I miss her treatments tremendously but I miss her friendship even more. Ireland is blessed to have such a wonderful soul.

I had a really bad sports injury to my shoulder pain was so bad i couldnt sleep at night so I decided to try a sports massage I was a bit sceptical but honestly donna has magic hands . After a couple sessions the pain completely went away !

Donna has a wonderful way about her and a great person to not only help heal the body but lift ones spirits too! She has an unbelievable knowledge of the body and locating the actual source of an injury. What I love most is that she is skilled in so many treatments, you can always be reassured she’ll use the one most appropriate for your own body. A friendly wise lady who has helped heal my various injuries over the years.
PaulineDunlaoghaire

She’s very good and knowledgeable of what she is doing. Will resolve your aches and pains.

I really enjoyed my massage donna explained everything to me before she started and also during my treatment she also showed me some exercises to do to relieve my aches and pains

Loved my treatment so much, I will definitely go back and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I felt that Donna was very professional. For me it was a very theraputic massage. She worked brilliantly on the areas of my body that give trouble.

Went to visit Donna as a last resort. I had a bulging disc was in a lot of pain and high doses of strong painkiller, surgery was looking like the only option. I had 2 visits with Donna after the first visit I could stop taking the painkillers and the after the second visit I could go back to normal activities. Thank you.

I have found regular massage sessions with Donna extremely beneficial for my 83 year old body.

I was suffering from deteriorating back and hip pain to the point where I dreaded having to walk anywhere, even for a few minutes. I had been used to a fairly active lifestyle of going on long walks and hikes so was beginning to get pretty depressed about my situation. I started seeing Donna last November on a one-to-one basis after she was recommended by a friend. She started me on a twice-weekly programme of reformative Pilates and stretching, targeted specifically at the key problem areas as well as the whole body. Now several months later my life has been turned around – I’m virtually pain-free and am fully active again, thanks entirely to this programme. I cannot recommend Donna highly enough! (5 stars)
LouiseDunlaoghaire

I’m currently a client of Donna’s. As a result of a massive brain injury,I lost my ability to walk and suffered a lack of sensation to parts of my body. I was informed by a number of Physiotherapists that I would never walk unaided and without the support of splints on my feet and legs. Since attending Donna this last 12 months, while I still need my crutches, I’m beginning to walk without any support from splints. I’m also beginning to feel sensation again in parts of my body. I have absolutely no doubt if I wasn’t a client of Donna’s,I would definitely not be where I am today in terms of my progress. I highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for improvement in any condition or disability. I also feel her price is very reasonable. Thank you Donna

Donna, who operates Vida Healing is the most amazing healer. I had the first privilege of being her client in Australia from back in 2011 and I am still her client from Australia to date. Having two collapsed discs, tendonitis in my arm which later was operated on to realease the immobility of my arm function. I also had chronic pain and sciatica every day. I also suffered from high anxiety.
I saw Chiropractic therapists, physio therapists, orthopedic surgeon’s and even doctors at pain management clinic. All doctors and therapists all worked hard to resolve my issues, but I found I was not getting any better. I turned to natural therapy and my luck had changed when I met Donna. To date, no disrespect to anyone else, but I can’t find anyone who can provide me with the same treatment as Donna can.
Donna is not the type of therapist to treat you and suggest so many sessions like most do as practices, Donna knows exactly what your body needs and will surely suggest the next visit because she has this amazing ability in knowing when your body is ready again for a treatment.
She knows what each individual person requires and will be treated according to their health conditions. Why I know this, is because I have had remedial therapy, healing, pilates and dietary consultations. All of which have worked for me every single time. All I have to simply do is put it to practice.
Donna’s intuitive gift of identifying your cause of pain, strain, stress and releasing blocks in the body is such a blessing because you truly get results every single time. Her gift, knowledge and therapeutic expertise is experienced through treatments received
Donna is a healer and therapist who never stops excelling and expanding her knowledge for the sole purpose of helping everyone who wants her assistance.
Always respectful, professional, and most of all humble.
Pauline Sydney Australia
