Myomasters Massage
Massage to help you do the things you love to do.
With the ones you love the most.
Massage for all humans great and small.
Human. You are amazing and can do amazing things.
Whether it’s the capability of your beautiful brain, the expression of your heart and soul, or how you move your body, everybody deserves to feel better—especially you.
At Myomasters Massage, I support you to do the things you love with the ones you love the most.
There’s something that I want you to know. Massage doesn’t HAVE to hurt to work. In fact, the studies support that not causing MORE pain, is MORE beneficial especially for working with people with chroinic pain.
That’s why I love to call my massage style – “Remedial-axation”. It’s remedial massage to help you move better and over come pain and it feels great too. We use a blend of Swedish, deep tissue and trigger point along with myofascial release to melt though muscle and iron out your kinks. It’s therapeutic and pain relieving, but also comfortable and relaxing.
Remedial Massage Therapist: David Clayton
We were born to move. Movement is fun. Moving is living! At least it’s supposed to be. I love helping people to move better and feel better. When you move well and feel well – you can do awesome things and have more fun with the people you love.
I’m David Clayton and I’m a Remedial Massage Therapist. You’ll find me in Hope Valley. I love being part of your journey to do great things – whether that’s being able to play on the floor with your kids, run your first Park Run, or whatever it is that you aspire to do.
My interest in massage began as a child as my parents often massaged each other and they also massaged us, their children. The power of human touch has been at the centre of who I am since birth.
If you’re thinking “remedial massage, that’s the one with the elbows and hurts a lot”, well I describe my work as remedial-axation. It’s massage that feels great while helping you to feel better.
Imagine getting to the end of your massage and actually enjoying the experience – and moving better because of it! I know right! I believe that massage should have a calming effect on your nervous system – you should leave your session not wanting it to end, rather than being glad that it’s over!
I still use good, gratifying pressure – it’s comforting – without that feeling of gritting your teeth and clinging to the table. Like that feeling of pleasure and satisfaction you get when you scratch an itch.
Sometimes I use stillness – just hanging out in an area. I might press down on and through your shoulders – just waiting for the tension to drop out all on its own. I may hold an arm or a leg, pulling with gentle traction and satisfying stretches that you just can’t do yourself. It’s my way of working with you without causing you MORE pain or trying to force a change.
To do this I work slower than you’re probably expecting. I use a blend of Swedish, deep tissue and trigger point along with myofascial release to melt though muscle and iron out your kinks. It’s therapeutic and pain relieving, but also comfortable and relaxing.
I love working with people who are stressed and anxious. I love working with people who are getting back into fitness after a long break. And I’m pretty darn good at working with very old injuries, and in relieving jaw pain, neck pain and pelvic dysfunction.
Well now you know a little bit about me – I’d love to know more about you. Would you like to move better and feel better? Let’s have a chat and find out? You can call me on 0424 740 243, reach out to me in a chat or if you’re ready, book a massage with me online.
