The practice works with muscle and soft tissue problems including tight or tense muscles linked with sport, posture, stress or work, generalised back, neck and shoulder aches and pains, restricted joint range of movement, fascial release, adhesions and scar tissue. Sports and remedial massage may also be used for general relaxation.

The sports therapy service may also include support after fractures or some surgeries, Kinesio or other sports taping, ultrasound with Dave Shirley, and exercise advice.

Exercise guidance can cover rehabilitation from injury, sports specific training and general fitness. At a first consultation, you can expect a general questionnaire, a note of current medical conditions or recent injuries, and an assessment of the injury or condition being treated. Postural, work and lifestyle factors may be considered as part of future injury management.

Before treatment, the session and techniques are discussed with you. The clinic advises wearing loose, comfortable clothing, and you may prefer shorts for the consultation and treatment.
