MASSAGE TAILORED TO SUIT YOU

OCCUPATIONAL

For professionals looking to manage physical discomfort or aiming to get back to work faster.

SPORTS

For any level of athlete looking to enhance their performance or to assist their recovery from an injury.

REMEDIAL

For people who are striving for reduction in pain and improvements in general mobility.

Occupational

Pain is the body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Deep soft tissue massage is a treatment used to address a specific problem or dysfunction usually caused by one of the following;

​

  • Postural and structural imbalance

  • Occupationally related – caused by repetitive work 

  • Emotional stress

  • Overuse injury from training

  • Medical (pre/post-surgery, a chronic condition or physical disability).

 

​The benefits of soft tissue massage from a highly qualified therapist are far reaching. If done correctly massaging soft tissue will increase blood flow to the muscles and move waste products that often get stuck in sore tight muscles. This restorative process allows muscles to relax, reset themselves and allows the body to repair more quickly.  The effect of this will allow stiff joints to move more freely with less pain aiding flexibility and improving mobility. However, not only can it dramatically change your physical state the improvements you gain can have a significant knock-on effect to your general well-being and state-of-mind.

OCCUPATIONAL MASSAGE THERAPY

COMMON COMPLAINTS

​

  • Lower back pain

  • Hip and gluteal pain

  • Shoulder and neck pain 

  • Headaches

  • Reduction in limb mobility and strength 

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome 

  • Tennis and golfers elbow 

  • Repetitive strain injury

Most of us have to work. Hours sat badly at a desk looking at screens, driving and commuting (looking down at a screen) or using heavy equipment all contribute to our posture suffering and cause our muscles to tire and become sore. Over time our bodies adapt to these working conditions ultimately causing muscles to shorten pulling joints into positions which reduces their function and impacts joint mobility. This increases chance of over-use and repetitive strain injuries which can become a chronic problem if not addressed. Soft tissue massage therapy can help to release these tired short muscles and will encourage correct joint alignment and restored function in time allowing you to work pain free.  

Remedial

SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY

Sports massage therapy is designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event or function well during training. Sports massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. Sports massage emphasises prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons, working to reduce restrictions of joint and soft tissue range of motion. Sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, helps prevent injuries and prepares the body and mind for optimal performance. It should be considered an important part of any training programme no matter what level or discipline.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY

A range of hands-on techniques will be used with the aim to facilitate a change to the soft tissue layers, from superficial to deep, with the primary goal to reduce pain, restore function and facilitate postural change. Soft tissue massage work will help to restore correct muscle tone, symmetry and balance with the goal of realigning the soft tissue influence on joint position.
