NATURAL THERAPY SERVICES
We provide a range of natural therapy services in Hervey Bay, in a professional, relaxed studio by trained therapists. Natural therapies are at the core of All Body Care’s philosophy and we strongly believe they are an essential part of a healthy mind and body, and we'd love to share that with you. Natural therapies like foot detox, scalar treatment, and red light therapy are popular for their potential to improve overall health and well-being, although their effectiveness can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Here's a look at the benefits of each:
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body by regulating the immune system, which fights infection and eliminates foreign substances and bacteria from the body. To function efficiently, the lymphatic system requires the free flow of lymph in a specific direction through a complex system of lymphatic capillaries, vessels, and nodes. Lymphatic drainage massage therapy combines gentle pressure with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes in the body. It is usually much lighter than other forms of massage, but is still very effective.
RELIEF WITH LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and ducts that move fluid throughout the body and is responsible for moving toxins away from healthy cells and carrying germ-fighting materials to the cells when they are under attack by viruses. Though fluid moves through the lymphatic system, it does not have its own pumping mechanism. Lymphatic drainage is a type of therapy that is intended to help the body produce a free-flowing lymphatic system.

To function efficiently, the lymphatic system requires the free flow of lymph in a specific direction through a complex system of lymphatic capillaries, vessels,and nodes. The lymphatic system is a subsystem of the circulatory system. Its principal functions are to:
- Collect and return interstitial fluid and help maintain fluid balance within the body tissues and organs
- Defend the body against disease by producing lymphocytes that fight infection
When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing a variety of symptoms including:
- Chronic swelling of the limbs
- Recurrent infections
- Impaired organ function
- Fatigue

Lymphatic drainage is used to promote a healthy lymphatic system.
The Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) technique was pioneered by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s and is now practiced worldwide. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an advanced massage therapy in which the therapist uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels and nodes that carry substances vital to the defence of the body, and removes waste products.
- Clears blockages in the lymphatic system
- Assists the elimination of metabolic wastes and toxins from the body

DRY NEEDLING
Do you have tight, knotted muscles at the end of a long working week? Stabbing, throbbing, or burning sensations are all too common these days but you don’t have to suffer the cycle of taking pain medication to mask the symptoms. All Body Care’s natural therapies, including Dry Needling, could be the long term solution you need.
FEEL BETTER NATURALLY
Dry needling is an invasive procedure whereby solid filament (acupuncture) needles are inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. A myofascial trigger point (sometimes known as a knot) consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle.
A spasmed muscle becomes a damaged muscle. Spasm reduces blood flow in the muscle. This means less oxygen and nutrients to the muscle. Muscle fibres die off and get replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This in turn holds the muscle tight, prevents muscle metabolites from leaving the muscle, and causes continued spasm and pain.
Yes, studies have shown that it is one of the safest forms of medical intervention known. It is far safer than using drugs. Only sterile disposable needles are used.
Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Muscles are thought to be a primary contributing factor to the symptoms. Conditions which respond to dry needling include, but are not limited to:
- Muscle Spasms
- Headaches
- Frozen Shoulder
- Tennis Elbow
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Golfer’s Elbow
- Fibromyalgia
- Sciatic Pain
- Buttock Pain
- Leg Pain
- Hamstring Strains
- Shin Splints
- Hip Pain
- Knee Pain
- Repetitive Strain Injuries
When you’ve got back, neck, or other muscle pain, don’t reach for the pain killers, book a dry needing appointment and feel better naturally. And if you’re not a fan of needles, try our Trigger Point Therapy or Massage Services.

Ionic Foot Detox
Ionic foot detox treatments are based on the idea that the feet are an effective point for removing toxins from the body. These treatments often involve soaking the feet in warm water (sometimes with an ionizer) that purportedly draws out toxins through the soles. We have over 2000 pores in the soles of our feet and our body stores toxins as far away from the brain as possible, making the feet the obvious place. Sit back, relax and let your feet detox you for 30 or 60 minutes.
ENJOY RELAXING DETOX
Potential benefits include:
- Improved detoxification: Ionic foot detox can help the body expel accumulated toxins like heavy metals and environmental pollutants
- Enhanced circulation: Ionic Foot detox treatment can help improve blood flow, potentially easing foot or leg discomfort.
- Relaxation and stress reduction: Ionic foot detox treatments are often used in spa settings, providing a calming, relaxing experience. However this treatment removes toxins, inflammation, helps clear the lympatic system, whilst you relax.
- Support for the immune system: By promoting the elimination of toxins, ionic foot detox may help support overall immune function.
If you've tried other therapies, book with All Body Care for our relaxaing ionic foot detox and feel better naturally.

RED LIGHT / NEAR-INFRARED THERAPY
Red light/near-infrared light therapy involves exposing the skin to low-wavelength lights. It's often used for its regenerative properties and ability to stimulate cells. This is a lovely, relaxing, simple treatment where you simply lay down, usually face down, and we place the mat on your back, hips, shoulders etc and turn it on. The program does the work while you relax and can produce the following benefits.
REGENERATE NATURALLY
It may help reduce chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health conditions like arthritis and injuries. For those suffering from chronic joint pain or athletes seeking enhanced muscle recovery, red light therapy can be a game-changer. The therapeutic wavelengths of red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into the joints and muscles, promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. This targeted approach helps alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and accelerate muscle recovery after intense physical exertion.
In our fast-paced world, quality sleep is essential for our overall health. Red light therapy can help regulate your circadian rhythm, promoting a healthy sleep-wake cycle. By exposing yourself to red light in the evening, you can stimulate the natural production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. This can improve sleep quality, reduce insomnia, and establish a more balanced sleep pattern.
Did you know that red light therapy can have a positive impact on your mood and mental well-being? The gentle wavelengths of red light stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood-boosting chemicals. This can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, enhancing your overall mental wellness.
Light therapy is commonly used for wound healing, muscle recovery, and tissue repair. It can enhance collagen production, which is important for skin health. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, surgery, or a strenuous workout, red light therapy can accelerate the healing process. The targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin, stimulating cellular activity and promoting the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells. This energy boost fuels the healing process, aiding in tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain.
Embrace the soothing benefits, restorative power, and calming and uplifting effects of red light therapy at All Body Care and let your body experience newfound relief, rejuvenation, tranquillity, and balance.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy (or CST) is a non-invasive, manual therapy performed on the head, skull, and sacrum. CST is offered by trained osteopaths and Remedial Massage Therapists. Benefits of craniosacral therapy may include helping to treat anxiety, depression, migraines and/or headaches, neck and back pain, stress and tension, motor-coordination impairments, infant and childhood disorders.
EMBRACE NATURAL THERAPIES
They typically last about 30 to 60 minutes, in which the craniosacral therapist treats the patient while they lay down in a relaxed, prone position on their back.
The term craniosacral therapy (or CST) refers to how this treatment approach addresses abnormalities of fluid and membranes connecting to both the cranium and sacrum. The sacrum is a triangular bone in the lower back situated between the two hipbones of the pelvis that connects to the spine, and the cranium is the skull, the bony structure that provides a protective cavity for the brain, forms of the head, and supports the structure of the face.
The underlying belief behind CST is that the human body is capable of self-healing, given the right tools and circumstances. In addition to reducing pain and tension held in the body, CST can increase someone’s understanding of their own “inner energy” and healing potential.
CST may offer benefits for people with any of the following symptoms: anxiety, depression, migraines and/or headaches, neck and back pain, stress and tension, motor-coordination impairments, infant and childhood disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries, fatigue, TMJ, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, ADHD and many others.
Promotes Relaxation & May Reduce Anxiety or Depression
CST is considered one type of “mindfulness-based treatment approach,” due to how it helps patients feel calmer while focusing their attention on their breath and away from their thoughts. One of the most beneficial things about craniosacral therapy is that it often helps people to relax, reduce muscle tension in their body, and deal with various types of stress better.
Can Help Reduce Headaches
Factors such as emotional stress, tension in the neck or jaw, frowning, and clenching the teeth or forehead can all contribute to headaches, as well as pain in the face, neck, and shoulders. Craniosacral therapy can help to reduce pressure surrounding the head and also decrease migraines or tension headaches tied to high stress levels.
May Help Manage Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Findings from a 2011 study that was published in Evidence Based Complimentary and Alternative Medicine points to the fact that craniosacral therapy can contribute to improvements in quality of life and decreased anxiety in patients with fibromyalgia.
