We will start by discussing your current problem & treatment goals. I will assess you, testing muscles, range of movement, posture & tension. Then I will propose a bespoke treatment plan for you and get started on treatment. I will begin your bespoke treatment journey, using specific soft tissue techniques, including deep tissue massage. I will provide you with self-care advice & exercises where appropriate, and book your follow-up treatment session.

The effectiveness of the treatment is dependent on a number of factors, such as length of time you have been living with the issue, whether you follow the exercises and recommended changes that I advise and whether you are able to relax and focus in the sessions. Many chronic conditions can take 4-6 sessions to reduce in pain or restriction, with conditions like frozen shoulder taking considerably longer. Practioners can never "guarantee a fix", however my clients generally experience a positive change after the first session and a significant reduction in pain & tension after a number of sessions, with many reporting long-lasting relief.

It is advisable to wear loose fitting clothing that can easily be removed down to your underwear if necessary. You will always be covered with a clean towel. Please bring loose fitting shorts if possible.

A common questions is "how painful is sports massage or deep tissue massage?" I use a variety of different soft tissue therapy techniques. All of which are safe and non-invasive. Most of these techniques are pain-free and stress-relieving, with a few that may be “beneficially uncomfortable” for short periods, however none of the techniques are very painful and I always work within your pain tolerance, regularly checking that you are comfortable.
