If you’re a patient at Be Well you will have probably experienced the effect of a deep tissue massager. We have one in our waiting room for patients to try, which is very popular! Many patients find using them at home is a great way to reduce mental and physical stress. Regular use can melt away trigger points, which are the pea sized balls of tension in the muscle. Sarena uses the massager on chiropractic patients to reduce muscle tension and inflammation, and promote lymphatic drainage.
By reducing muscle tension and helping the body's ability to heal, deep tissue massage works effectively in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments to relieve neck and back pain.
Deep tissue massage has a range of very positive effects that assist the healing process. It causes capillaries to dilate and increases blood flow to tissues and thus the nutrition provided to these tissues. It can promote contraction and extension of muscle fibres, strengthening muscular tension, elasticity and tolerance. Studies even show that it can stimulate the body to produce its own growth hormones!
Consequently deep tissue massage has been shown to prevent and repair the degeneration of cells in damaged, or under used muscle tissue. Essentially it helps the body to heal itself!

Reviews:
I've never been a fan of massage machines, but after a fellow collegue used this one on me during an osteopathic treatment, I was converted. I think this is a great product. I ofen use it in my practice (I am a massage therapist/ accupuncturist) and my clients also love it.- C.A. QLD
I had a really sore knee last year, had acupuncture, but the pain kept returning. When I sometimes stood up after a long session sitting it would make me limp on that leg, but then eventually, it would go away momentarily, once I became active. I have to tell you it's now gone completely since I worked around that leg!!!!! -K.R. Vic
My wife is a Traditional Chinese Massage practitioner and thinks that it is extremely well made, does the job and great value. To date she is using it on herself, as there is no one to help her when she is in trouble. The tennis ball can now be pensioned off. -J.C. (Sydney)
I've found that your [Dr Graeme's] massager is most effective in the clinic in my hands, but it was also with success that clients took it home. It seemed more effective than the usual recommendations of heat packs or sending a TENS machine home, though of course used in conjunction with a home exercise program. I find it is a good size and like the power of it. - A.M. Physiotherapist (Vic)
I’ve used a percussion massager with patients before and recently tried the Dr Graeme massager at a colleague's clinic. I was very impressed with its power and focused percussion. -Dr D J (Chiropractor)
