About Me
Learn a little more about me and my work.
My name is Carlos Braganca, and I am a massage therapist with over 10 years of experience.
I am highly passionate about my profession and always strive to obtain the best result for my clients. My journey started in 2007 when I completed my therapy course. I am always looking to learn and build my knowledge by continually learning about the human body.
I thrive when working on pressure points, stretching and support techniques. This combats muscle pain and injuries with balance and relaxation. My unique technique is where I mix shiatsu (Japanese bodywork based on concepts in traditional Chinese medicine) with deep tissue massage. I look forward to assisting you!
Treatments
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is a treatment with some techniques similar to Holistic, but with firmer pressure and slower movement, allowing the penetration of deeper muscle layers, with the main objective in releasing chronic tension, knots and muscle pain. Deep massage helps to relax muscles, breaking and reducing scar tissue and adhesions, releasing patterns of tension and stress.
SHIATSU
Treatment that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. Shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in Japanese. The Shiatsu aim is balance of energy flow. Like acupuncture, shiatsu stimulates the body’s vital energy (Chi) using the points and meridians of acupuncture as well as massaging the muscles, joints and circulation with strokes like kneading or pressure.
