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, myofascial release, trigger pointing and stretching techniques. This is not a diagnosis of the problem but is a useful tool in relieving muscle tension and stress.
It can be mildly uncomfortable but is the most effective way to relieve muscle pain and tension in combination with stretches at home.
Deep tissue massage is a massage designed to relieve muscle tension and pain but is slightly lighter than a sports massage. It doesn't include myofascial release or stretching techniques, just massage to relieve the tension and stress.
It is an effective way to relieve muscle pain and tension.

This clinic was setup to provide a better service for local people. We believe in self management, functional treatment strategies with clear goals and empowering clients to take control of their injury.
We offer physiotherapy, sports massage and deep tissue massage in combination with excercise 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 more important tool to improving patients and reducing pain and vary significantly from traditional isolated strength exercises, endurance, cardiovascular, static stretches, dynamic stretches and exercises to improve control and the ways in which you move.
Physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, sports massage, sometimes acupuncture and most importantly exercise and advice to understanding your injury. 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 training hard. Deep tissue massage is the slightly lighter option if you think sports massage will be too strong.
