Focussing on the upper shoulders and neck, intial review session lasts 1-2 hours, with 2-4 follow up sessions of similar timescales to resolve muscular stiffness and/or trapped nerves
Please note: I am currently away - services will resume 15th February 2025
I understand that people have different expectations from their sports therapist. For this reason I offer two basic categories of treatment:
Every customer receives tailored treatment for their exact situation and proper application of this treatment can help where other massage techniques have not had the desired results. I also guide patients on the right stretches and exercises to do at home as part of the treatment plan - It is important that these exercises are carried out, otherwise treatment effectiveness will be impacted
When coming for treatment, please wear loose fitting clothes such as shorts and tshirt. I can also provide shorts and tshirt if you happen to forget.
Focussing on the upper shoulders and neck, intial review session lasts 1-2 hours, with 2-4 follow up sessions of similar timescales to resolve muscular stiffness and/or trapped nerves
For accute injuries and chronic localised stiffness, 1-2 hours over 1-2 sessions typically results in significant improvements. It is important to rest the arm fully for up to 3 days after treatment
Another option available to clients is use of Steam therapy. These session take 2 hours with the preliminary use of steam to help loosen the muscles before working on the problem areas. Benefits are usually realised after 3-4 sessions
Common issues with in this area include sciatica, tight hamstrings, and weak core. Initial review session lasting 1-2 hours, with 3-4 follow up sessions, and provided exercise advice for practice at home
These areas can vary greatly in treatment needs owing to the potential sensitivity of the related injuries. 1-2 hours of treatment for anywhere between 2-5 sessions, focussing on improving circulation and natural healing
Massage techniques can be safely used throughout pregnancy in most cases, although I advise this treatment only post 12 weeks. 90 minute massages for 2-3 sessions to help relax and ease the body
For those suffering from poor sleep, stress, or anxiety, a relaxing massage can help ease tension and help with circulation which can bring relief from symptoms, and prevent conditions such as alopecia. Monthly 90 minute massages are recommended
In addition to the treatments listed, I can also treat and provide home exercise plans for injuries and pain in other parts of the body: knees, wrists, hamstrings, achilles tendon, calf, groin, abdominal, arthritis, and others
