Elev8 Therapies

Soft Tissue Therapy and Sports Massage at Elev8 Therapies is for soft tissue problems involving muscles, tendons and ligaments. It may be relevant if you have everyday muscular aches, tension, back pain, fatigue, repetitive strain injury, sprains or a sports-related soft tissue injury.

The treatment uses manual therapy techniques including soft tissue release, neuromuscular techniques, sports and deep tissue massage, mobilisations and trigger point release. Sessions can include a full consultation, postural and joint or range of movement assessment where required, tailored massage work and, where appropriate, a home care rehabilitation exercise plan.

Areas covered include back pain, sciatica, shoulder impingement, runner's knee, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, muscle overuse injuries, sprains and postural imbalances. Elev8 Therapies also works with longer-term pain management needs linked to conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines and arthritis, as well as stress-related muscular tension.

Kinesiology Taping is available for relevant joints or muscles, including use before an event or for common injuries. Myofascial Dry Cupping may also be used within treatment, applying cups to soft tissue to create negative pressure and stretch the muscle and fascia.

Care is provided by Rachel, a BTEC Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist. She completed a diploma with the Oxford School of Sports Massage, has further training in Myofascial Dry Cupping and Kinesiology Taping, is fully insured and holds professional industry membership with The Association for Soft Tissue Therapists, The SMA.

Elev8 Therapies is based in Aylesbury, with care provided from a private treatment room. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Elev8 Therapies is currently unable to take on new clients.
