Relaxation Therapy
Modern life places constant demands on the body and mind. Stress, pain, poor sleep, anxiety and emotional overload often show up physically — as tight muscles, headaches, fatigue, gut issues, or persistent aches that do not fully settle with exercise alone.
Relaxation Therapy at Next Wave Therapy offers a clinically informed, restorative approach to care — helping the nervous system shift out of “fight or flight” and into a safer, calmer “rest and digest” state. Delivered by qualified allied health practitioners, these sessions go far beyond surface-level pampering. They form an important part of pain management, mental health support, and whole-body recovery.
Located in O’Connor, just minutes from Fremantle, Hilton and Kardinya, Next Wave Therapy provides a calm, professional environment where relaxation therapy is integrated into evidence-based health care — not separated from it.
Ongoing stress does not just affect mood — it changes how the body functions.
Many people seek relaxation therapy because they are experiencing:
In these cases, the nervous system often remains stuck in a protective, over-alert state. Relaxation therapy helps interrupt this cycle, allowing the body to settle, recover and respond more effectively to rehabilitation or psychological care.
Relaxation therapy at Next Wave Therapy is clinically guided soft-tissue and nervous system support, delivered by experienced allied health practitioners who understand how stress, pain and emotional load interact.
Rather than treating relaxation as a luxury, Next Wave integrates it into broader recovery plans — supporting:
Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may stand alone or complement other services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychological therapy or naturopathy
Long, flowing strokes designed to calm the nervous system, reduce muscle guarding and improve circulation. Particularly supportive for stress-related tension and sleep disruption.
Targeted pressure to specific points associated with nervous system regulation, pain relief and emotional balance.
Gentle heat applied to muscles to support deep relaxation, circulation and tissue release. Often helpful for people who struggle to fully relax during standard massage.
Focused release of tight or sensitive areas that may be perpetuating pain or movement restriction — delivered with care and nervous system awareness.
Each session is adapted to comfort levels, medical history and current stress load.
Next Wave Therapy operates from a bio-psycho-social model of care, recognising that pain and dysfunction are rarely purely physical.
Relaxation therapy helps:
For individuals living with chronic pain, trauma histories, anxiety or burnout, nervous system regulation is often a missing piece in recovery.
Relaxation therapy may be used:
No two sessions are identical — care is adjusted as your body responds.
Sessions are delivered by experienced practitioners such as Sasha Wray or Carleen Ginter, who understand both physical and psychological contributors to tension.
Relaxation therapy is not isolated — it is part of a broader care team including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and naturopaths.
Techniques are grounded in nervous system science and pain management principles, not generic spa protocols.
