what to expect..
Soft tissue therapy
Our Soft Tissue Therapists will use a combination of techniques that will assess and treat your soft tissue injury, including those in your muscles, tendons, fascia and ligaments. Some of the techniques used include deep tissue massage, friction massage, trigger point therapy and sports massage. Our Therapists also offer advice on how to improve posture and maintain flexibility to prevent reoccurrence of injury.
Soft tissue massage is not designed for just the sports person, as it can be highly beneficial to all. Soft tissue massage has many benefits including the stimulation of blood flow which can assist in the healing process for sprains, strains and other soft tissue injuries.
A recent injury can usually be improved in a few sessions. For more longstanding pain problems, you may be recommended a course of treatments and this will be discussed with you at your first appointment.

Release of endorphins

HOLISTIC MASSAGE
Our fully qualified Exercise Coach and Massage Therapist, Charlotte, offers Holistic Massage to our patients, which is a form of therapy that treats the whole person. Holistic Massage is different from regular Soft Tissue Massage as it doesn’t just focus on one part of our body, but instead it will help the overall health of your body. It uses various strokes and methods to assist in the release of toxins from the body, reduce stress and anxiety, improve muscular tension, help with sleep as well as boosting your immune system.
