I combine Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Sports Therapy Craniosacral Therapy and Fascial Unwinding to suit the individual person at each session. Treatments are not routine and using a combination of all 5 modalities together increases the overall benefit.
- Postural Assessment, Joint testing and Craniosacral Assessment
- Treatment using therapies as appropriate
- Feedback and aftercare advice (stretching, postural care, exercise)
Treatment is both progressive and pertinent to your current state and changing needs.
Components of Treatment
Deep Tissue Massage
Releases chronic tension by freeing up, realigning and lengthening tight and stuck deep muscle fibres.
Repairs and restores functioning in muscles, tendons and ligaments through use of specific deep sustained pressure and specialised techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy.
Problem areas are isolated and targeted through use of thumbs, knuckles, forearms and elbows.
Great for relieving stress, tension, occupational overuse injuries (RSI), upper and lower back problems.

Sports Massage
This is a vigorous treatment that is best known for promoting the health of muscles, tendons and ligaments through increasing blood flow, releasing lactic acid and breaking down scar tissue.
It also works to promote general health through blood and lymph circulation and effecting beneficial changes in the nervous and hormonal systems.
Treatment involves advanced massage techniques incorporating strong kneading, stripping and stretching movements and specialised stretches such as Muscle Energy Techniques.
Excellent for helping recovery post activity or injury. However you don’t need to be involved in sport to benefit as its great for general health, helps prevent injuries, reduces pain and general muscular tension.

Fascial Unwinding
This treatment aims to overcome restrictions held in the body from injury, scarring, accidents and other stresses through movements that unwind the body’s connective tissue network (fascia).
Fascia encompasses the body has an elastic quality that retains any stress the body is exposed causing the body to compensate and hold onto the disturbance eventually leading to chronic pain, discomfort or immobility.
Very good for stubborn injuries, whiplash, stiff neck, frozen shoulder, psychological tension and stiff/inflexible joints.
