Four Wellness Services to Help You Reset Your Body at Grand Central Shopping Centre

Sometimes, all your body needs is some TLC – but how do you know which wellness service to book? Should you try a remedial massage or opt for acupuncture? If you’re not sure which service would be right for you, then you’ve come to the right place! We all lead busy lives and every now and again, we need to take some time out for ourselves so we can reset and make sure our body is in top shape.

If you’re looking for a wellness service to help you release any stress and tension your body may be carrying, then take a seat because we’ve rounded up the best wellness treatments you can book right here at Grand Central Shopping Centre.

Remedial massage

Remedial massage is a powerful form of soft tissue massage that helps reduce pain and restore muscle and nerve function. This type of massage can also help speed up the healing process if a part of your body has been injured or strained. This is the best massage to book in if you’ve got muscles that are knotted and tense due to an injury as it will help locate the source of your pain and tackle both the cause of your tension as well as any related symptoms. We recommend booking a remedial massage appointment at Keep in Touch Health Therapies, where their knowledgeable team will sit down and discuss your symptoms with you before beginning your treatment. They’ll make sure they have the full story to ensure you leave feeling light and tension-free. 

Deep tissue massage

A deep tissue massage is slightly different to a remedial massage. Deep tissue massages are designed to focus on any discomfort you may have using firm massage techniques. This type of massage can be a little intense, so it’s not the best option if you’re looking for a more soothing massage experience. Deep tissue massages are brilliant for relieving muscle discomfort and if this sounds like something you sorely need, we recommend visiting the team at Massage Grace and they can loosen up any pesky muscle knots you may have. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical practice that’s been used for thousands of years. It’s been practised in Australia since the 1880s and is the most popular form of complementary medicine, as it helps to relieve pain and most chronic conditions.

Acupuncture involves fine, sterile, metal needles being inserted into specific points of your body called acupuncture points. There are up to 2,000 acupuncture points, however not every point may need to be stimulated during your session. Acupuncture is similar to dry needling, which is performed by physiotherapists. The difference between the two treatments is that acupuncture works to treat both pain and organ system issues, whereas dry needling mainly works to ease muscle tightness. If you’ve been thinking about trying acupuncture for the first time or are just looking for a new practitioner, we recommend visiting the team at Keep in Touch Health Therapies. They’ll discuss your symptoms with you and let you know what acupuncture points may need to be stimulated to improve your body’s overall function. They may also recommend other treatments to pair with your acupuncture session, like cupping or remedial massage. 

Now that you know what every treatment involves and who here at Grand Central Shopping Centre offers each treatment, you’ll be able to book the right appointment for yourself the next time you’re in-centre. 

Everyone deserves a healthy body and to feel well, so the next time your body isn’t feeling the best, come and see us at Grand Central Shopping Centre and book in a wellness treatment to help you feel your absolute best.
