Feel Like You Again
I offer a soft tissue therapy which involves hands on specific localised massage. This is a vital part of any physiotherapy treatment, and is used to loosen tight muscles, ligaments, and tendons, to enable freer movement. Types of massage include myofascial release, trigger point massage and deep transverse massage. The area involved or possibly the one causing the problem (if the pain is referred) is examined and the appropriate techniques used. This then should allow you to more easily achieve a better posture and exercise in the best way.
I use soft tissue massage to treat a range of conditions including:
- Stiff and painful joints in the back and neck
- Painful spasm in muscles
- Tight muscles involved in sports injuries
- Painful ligaments around the knee
- Rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder
I accept self referrals and I am registered with all the major insurers including BUPA, WPA, AXA and Aviva.
