What happens during a treatment?
The treatment may be carried out with you lying down or sitting up and you remain fully clothed. A mixture of gentle and firm pressure will be applied through various soft tissue manipulation techniques to release muscular dysfunction and restriction in your body.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments required will often be determined by the severity of the injury / problem. Other factors include your age, occupation, recreational activities, health and lifestyle. Generally speaking it is not long term work.
Three to six treatments are typically required. Your progress will be monitored thoroughly throughout.
What shall I wear for the treatment?
Treatments are carried out fully clothed. Loose fitting clothing such as t-shirt and jogging bottoms will be more comfortable for you. Please avoid tight or restrictive clothing such as jeans.
Can I exercise after a treatment?
You are normally advised to rest for 24 - 48 hours following a treatment, depending on your condition or injury. Strenuous exercise during this period may hinder the recovery process. You will be advised how to maximise your recovery.
Is it just sports injuries? I don't have a sports injury!
This type of treatment is suitable for all types of muscular problems that result in pain, restricted movement, tension or distortion. These problems may be caused by infections, accidents, repetitive strain injury, chronic tension or stress. Many conditions can be treated including: Sciatica/trapped nerves, back/neck/shoulder pain, whiplash, restricted mobility, headaches, general aches and pains, chronic or long term problems.
Treatments are normally pleasant and relaxing. Intitially, there may be a little discomfort due to the nature of the treatment to break down old scar tissue in deep tissue manipulation. This generally subsides as the injury improves. Your therapist will ensure you are as comfortable as possible during your treatment.
Can I pay by credit / debit card?
