Soft Tissue Therapy uses a variety of hands-on techniques to give relief from pain, dysfunction and injury. Whether you are suffering from arthritic knees, have a systemic condition like fibromyalgia or you’ve pulled your hamstring on the football pitch, Soft Tissue Therapy can almost certainly help.

Acupuncture is the use of thin, sterile, single-use needles to treat the body. While a traditional Chinese approach addresses the body as a whole, in the clinic it is also used to address specific issues to reduce pain, restriction and inflammation in soft tissues that are often the cause of pain and dysfunction. Whether it is through a traditional acupuncture approach or the use of dry needling, it can be a powerful tool in the treatment of a variety of conditions.

Pregnancy massage offers time to relax and unwind during a time when your body is going through huge changes. Pregnancy massage can also actively help with many of the unwanted symptoms of pregnancy, be it backache, swelling of the ankles and hands, stress or headaches. Or maybe just that little bit of TLC for yourself or someone you care for when their body is experiencing momentous change.

The benefits of taking part in sport and exercise are known, but sometimes it can result in injury. Problems can often build up over time without us even knowing it, then suddenly ‘go’. Sports massage reduces the likelihood of injury by identifying problem areas before they develop into something more serious. It also helps remove the waste products of metabolism in the tissues so reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improves soft tissue flexibility and function so that your fitness training can continue unhindered.

Deep tissue massage is an aspect of both soft tissue therapy and sports massage and targets the ‘knots’, or areas of tension or damage that can develop within and between layers of muscle, fascia and other soft tissue. It is characterised by applying deep, sustained pressure to the tissues. During physical examination the need for these techniques will be assessed.
