In North Fitzroy at Melbourne Massage and Treatment clinic, Giovanni offer Remedial Massage on a comfortable hydraulic table, which makes it easier to step up and down from bad for the one who may have movement impediment.
Thai Massage is the Traditional Massage of Thailand. Giovanni did train for Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, with Pichest Boonthumme. Traditional Thai Massage is delivered on a floor mat, and not on a table. Thai Massage is not recommended for people who have conditions such as Hypertension, Diabetes n. 1, Osteoporosis, or whilst pregnant. This type of Thai Massage doesn’t involve the usage of oils and or cream. The patient is fully dressed. In his North Ftizroy Massage clinic, Giovanni, deliver Thai Massage, by mixing eastern and western massage practice. As a Myotherapist, he would look for the root course of the problem, and not treat the symptoms only.
MLD stands for Manual Lymphatic Drainage and is a manual technique, thought and used to boost the Lymphatic System. The Lymphatic System is a body system that keeps the body itself at a homeostasis level. That means it keeps the body alive and clean from inflammation and infections. It does so by working in combination with the Immune System. In fact, the Lymphatic System is made of Vessels (Capillary) and Collectors (Veins) that interconnect Lymph Nodes (Clinic Stations). And is in the Lymph Nodes where the White Cell (B and T) seats into. Said so, the White Cells B are produced in the Bone Narrow and the T Cells, are produced in the thymus (a Lymphatic System’s gland).
Thai Yoga is a series of exercises based on the Thai Massage principle, ideal for relaxation and improving body mobility. Mobility is the joint capacity of being able to move freely, without aches, pain, or restrictions. In fact, great mobility is at the base of a healthy body and great body/mind awareness. Before any strengthening program, mobility should be taken into consideration and improved to a healthy stage. A body that is not mobile enough, so a body that has stiff joints (and is not about been elastic), would not be able to build up a safe strength. That’s one of the main reasons why people get injured during sports activities. On the other hand, mobility gets lost when the body spends long hours in a slappy position, like on an office chair.
For services such as Myotherapy, Remedial Massage, and MLD, Giovanni used
a hydraulic table, which guarantees an easy step up and steps down from the table for the patient. Whereas Thai Massage service is delivered on comfortable 1.5m x 2m massage mats. Traditional Thai Massage is a massage that is delivered on the mat floor and not on tables. Water is always provided before, during, and after each session. Giovanni holds a Work with Children card too, so if your teenager is in need of treatment, you are welcome to book a session for them. But not only teenagers, indeed, Giovanni can also treat kids using MLD in case of surgery, bone fracture or oedema due to accident or physical trauma. During those sessions, as per law, a parent or a guardian must be present at all times. Regarding the clothes worn during treatment, for Remedial Massage, Myotherapy, and MLD sessions, the patient is undressed down to a bra and underwear. Said so, just the area that needs to be worked on too would be exposed, and the rest of the body is draped with towels. Whereas for Thai Massage the patient is fully dressed.
