ABOUT OUR THERAPIES

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MASSAGE?

Functional Massage is Bahavana’s integrative approach to bodywork and soft tissue therapy. Sessions combine remedial techniques, mobility support, movement integration, and nervous system regulation to help restore movement, reduce pain, improve recovery, and recalibrate tension patterns.

Treatments are tailored for:

  • Muscular pain & restriction
  • Stress-related tension
  • Postural imbalance
  • Injury recovery
  • Reduced mobility or flexibility
  • Nervous system overload & fatigue

TECHNIQUES & MODALITIES

REMEDIAL MASSAGE

Targets specific muscular and soft tissue dysfunction to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve muscular balance and function.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Works with deeper layers of fascia and muscle tissue to release chronic tension, improve mobility and strength, and restore functional movement patterns.

AromaTouch AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

AromaTouch Technique® — a gentle yet powerful essential oil application method using therapeutic-grade essential oils to support relaxation, autonomic nervous system balance, and overall wellbeing.

Unlike traditional massage, the AromaTouch Technique® is a structured clinical-style application process focused on supporting the body’s stress response systems through carefully selected oils applied to the back and feet. The technique works along energy meridians and visceral contact points to help encourage balance between the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and restore”) nervous systems.

The experience is deeply calming, grounding, and restorative, making it ideal for individuals experiencing stress, overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, fatigue, emotional tension, or the physical impacts of long-term stress patterns.


RESTORE (Relaxation–Swedish Massage)

A calming rhythmic massage designed to reduce stress, improve circulation, and support nervous system restoration and relaxation.

MYOFASCIAL CUPPING

A decompression-based therapy that lifts fascia and underlying soft tissue to:

  • Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
  • Reduce pain and restriction
  • Release adhesions and tightness
  • Improve recovery and mobility
  • Support relaxation and wellbeing

Available within integrated sessions or as a focused stand-alone treatment.

MYOFASCIAL DRY NEEDLING

Uses fine sterile needles to target hyper-irritable myofascial trigger points and muscular tension patterns.

May support:

  • Pain reduction
  • Improved muscle function
  • Increased flexibility & range of motion
  • Tissue oxygenation & circulation
  • Release of chronically restricted tissue

Available within integrated sessions or as a focused stand-alone treatment.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

A light rhythmic therapy supporting lymphatic circulation, fluid movement, swelling reduction, promote healing, and support immune system function.

BODY AWARENESS TRAINING (Stretch & Movement Therapy)

A personalised 1:1 movement-based session designed to restore mobility, release tension, improve body awareness, and support long-term functional movement health.

These guided sessions combine mobility support, stretching, movement integration, and body awareness training tailored to your unique body, movement patterns, and goals.

Sessions may support:

  • Increased flexibility & range of motion
  • Improved stability & movement confidence
  • Reduced muscular tension & stiffness
  • Functional mobility & ease of movement
  • Nervous system regulation through movement
  • Greater connection to how your body feels and moves
  • Injury prevention & long-term movement health

This is your space to recalibrate, breathe deeply, restore movement freedom, and reconnect with your body in a supportive and therapeutic environment.

Group sessions available by request.

JOINT THERAPEUTICS

Hands-on support for improving joint mobility, movement quality, and structural function through targeted therapeutic techniques and mobility integration.

  • Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
