Soft Tissue Therapies ltd

Soft Tissue Therapies ltd is for people in Blackpool looking for osteopathy, manual therapy and related hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal pain and movement problems. The clinic treats back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches and migraine, arthritic pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, sports injuries, golf performance issues, cranial osteopathy concerns, jaw pain and TMD, and SI joint dysfunction.

The practice also sees a wider range of presentations, including fibromyalgia and persistent pain, muscle spasms, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, circulatory problems, digestion problems, tension and stress, and generalised aches and pains. Care is framed as a whole-body assessment rather than focusing only on the painful area, with attention to posture, movement, joints, muscles and soft tissue.

Bookable care includes a new osteopathy patient assessment and treatment or reassessment, follow-up osteopathy appointments, new and follow-up manual therapy treatment, and a Menopause Acupuncture Clinic first visit. Treatment may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, articulation, high velocity thrust techniques, acupuncture, dry needling or craniosacral work, depending on the assessment and what is clinically appropriate for you.

At a first visit, you are asked about your current symptoms, medical history, medicines and allergies before a physical assessment. The osteopath may observe posture, assess movement and use hands-on palpation to examine joints, muscles and soft tissue. Findings and the proposed treatment approach are explained in plain English, and consent is sought before any examination or technique.

If the assessment suggests symptoms may not be musculoskeletal in origin or may need further investigation, the practice says it will explain this and, with your consent, write to your GP. Clinical records are stored in Cliniko, and the practice uses secure AI-assisted note-taking systems during consultations to generate written clinical notes, with audio deleted once notes have been verified.
