Treatment tailored to you

Sports massage uses a range of techniques to support muscle comfort, movement and recovery during training and physical activity. It can be useful before or after activity, or as part of your regular training routine.

Treatment is tailored to you, your activity and what you're experiencing.

Depending on your needs, I may use techniques such as soft tissue release, friction and muscle energy techniques to work with areas of muscular tension or tightness.

Sports massage isn't just for competitive athletes. It can also help anyone who is physically active and wants support with recovery, movement or managing the demands they place on their body.

Remedial massage takes a more individual approach to muscular aches, tension and movement-related problems.

Rather than focusing only on the uncomfortable area, I look at the bigger picture, including your symptoms, activity levels, movement and anything else that may be contributing to the problem.

Treatment may include a combination of massage and soft tissue techniques, with stretching, movement or self-management advice where appropriate.

The aim is to help reduce muscular tension, support movement and help you feel more comfortable in day-to-day activity.

Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer techniques to address muscular tension and discomfort. It can be particularly useful when muscles feel tight, overloaded or restricted from work, training or day-to-day activity.

Rather than simply applying more pressure, I adjust the depth and techniques used to suit you and how your body responds during the treatment.

I may use deep tissue techniques on their own or alongside other approaches as part of a treatment tailored to your individual needs.

Soft tissue therapy is a broad approach that uses a range of hands-on techniques to address muscular tension, discomfort and movement-related problems.

Rather than focusing only on the area that feels uncomfortable, treatment can consider how you move, your activity levels and other factors that may be contributing to the problem.

Depending on your individual needs, I may use techniques such as soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques, neuromuscular techniques, positional release and IASTM alongside massage.

Every treatment is tailored to you and can be adapted as your needs change.

RockTape is a flexible kinesiology tape that can be applied to selected areas of the body while still allowing movement.

It may be used as an additional part of treatment where appropriate, depending on your activity, symptoms and goals.

Before applying tape, I'll discuss its intended use, check for any skin sensitivities and explain how to look after it and when to remove it.

Taping is not a replacement for assessment or a personalised treatment approach.

RockBlades uses specially designed instruments as part of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM).

The tools are used over selected soft tissue areas, with pressure and technique adapted to your comfort and treatment goals.

Where appropriate, IASTM may complement massage, movement work and other soft tissue techniques during your appointment.

I'll explain the technique before using it and check how you're responding throughout the treatment.
