Alex is trained in a variety of Body Work and Massage styles, which he utilises alongside Acupuncture or as a standalone treatment.

Tui Na - Chinese Medical Massage

Chinese Tui Na was called ‘An Mo’ or massage in ancient times. The term Tui Na was first seen during the Ming Dynasty. Chinese Tui Na is a therapeutic body work approach guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Tui Na is performed with the patient fully clothed and uses a variety of techniques to release tight muscles and tissues. It is very effective for injuries, pain, muscle stiffness and relaxation.

clinical Bodywork // Gentle Bodywork for emotional stress and trauma

Alex also uses biomedical massage techniques to treat muscular skeletal injures and pain, such as deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy.

He also applies very gentle passive body work techniques called “Holds” on certain areas of the body (commonly the head and ankles), which allows the nervous system to relax and unwind. He commonly uses this approach for patients with emotional stress and trauma which has manifested in the body as muscle guarding and tightness.

RAPID - nEURo Fascial reset

RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, is a neurologically based,  active, therapeutic technique that addresses the central nervous systems role in alleviating tension and restrictions within the body. RAPID is an evidence based manual therapy technique that can be used by all health care professionals to quickly and effectively eliminate pain in their patients.

Utilizing a biopsychosocial perspective RAPID addresses the body’s perception of threat and danger. By bringing the brain to safety most painful conditions and ROM restrictions disappear. Using nociception and movement RAPID induces a combination of descending inhibition within the nervous system, and a powerful increase in vasodilation. These together offer near immediate and lasting pain reduction in our patients.​
