CHILAX BODY THERAPY

Chill and relax with us at Chilax Body Therapy

We are a health centre located conveniently in Darwin City Hotel on Smith Street.

We offer modalities including Relaxation Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage and Reflexology to improve the flow of blood and lymph (fluid in lymph glands, part of immune system), to reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, to affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and to enhance tissue healing.

Chilax Body Therapy aims to use effective methods for the relief of muscular, soft tissue strains and; or just simply for the relaxation of the body and mind.

RELAXATION MASSAGE

Relaxation massage is a gentle massage that uses smooth, gliding strokes to help you relax without focusing on easing any muscle soreness or tension.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes and involves manipulation of the deep layers of tissue in the body, including the fascia and other supportive tissue that make up the muscles and joints. It is beneficial mostly because it helps stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension, while at the same time lowering psychological stress.

SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is treatment given with the understanding not only of anatomy and physiology but also of the particular demands placed upon the body by the client. Sports massages can include more aggressive techniques that approach muscles more deeply. Sports massage will often utilise a variety of modalities such as remedial massage, trigger point therapy and deep tissue work. Primarily, the difference lies with function. That is, returning you to your chosen activity in optimal functional.

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet. Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress. The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
