SERVICES
We focus on rehabilitation, injury prevention and functional strength training so you can return to activities that mean the most to you.
Sports massage is the strongest and most effective form of massage. It includes a strong and deep massage, myofascial release, trigger pointing and stretching techniques. This does not focus on diagnosis of the problem as much as physiotherapy but is a useful tool in relieving muscle tension and stress.
It can be uncomfortable but is the most effective way to relieve muscle pain and tension in combination with stretches at home.
Deep tissue massage is not as strong as sports massage but is still effective in relieving muscle tension and pain. It doesn't include myofascial release or stretching techniques, just massage to relieve the tension and stress. Home stretches are also prescribed to help minimise the build up of tension.
It is an effective way to relieve muscle pain and tension.

I setup this clinic to provide an excellent service for local people. I believe in self management, functional treatment strategies with clear goals and empowering clients to take control of their injury.
We offer physiotherapy, sports massage, deep tissue massage and acupuncture in combination with treatments because I truly believe through evidenced based practice that these all have a therapeutic use and work as methods to reduce pain, improve function and return to sport or daily activities.
Physiotherapy is best for people who have an injury and either want a diagnosis, treatment and management plan. Or, have begun this journey but may have got lost along the way or the pain and injury has reoccured.
Physiotherapy is more than just exercise. Exercise is the key and most important tool to improving patients and reducing pain. These can vary from functional exercises to traditional isolated strength exercises, endurance, cardiovascular, static and dynamic stretches to improve control and the ways in which you move.
Physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, sports massage, acupuncture where trained, exercise and most importantly advice on understanding your injury, pain and problems. From this we work together to maximise how much you can do, as soon as you can and improve until you feel fighting fit.
Sports massage and deep tissue massage is best for people with either general or specific muscular aches and pains and want to release stress and tension from sitting for long periods at work, manual jobs, sporting injuries and people training hard. Deep tissue massage is the slightly lighter option if you think sports massage will be too strong for you but the pressure is always adjusted to your preference, all you need to do is tell us.
