Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft Tissue Therapists treat clients who have musculoskeletal injury, pain or dysfunction. Although sport can be a common factor in the cause of these injuries, it is far from being the only issue dealt with.

Soft Tissue Therapy integrates three essential clinical elements:

Assessment: Applying a range of assessment methods to determine whether Soft Tissue Therapy is appropriate and devise a suitable treatment plan for the individual client.

Treatment: Applying a range of Soft Tissue techniques (including massage) to aid recovery from injury and improve soft tissue condition and joint mobility.

Rehabilitation: Offering advice on a range of remedial exercises and lifestyle factors aimed at speeding up recovery, preventing injury recurrence as well as improving posture, performance and function.

Soft Tissue Therapists use anatomical knowledge alongside these techniques to understand and get to the root cause of the issue, to bring about long term fixes.

Medical Acupuncture

Medical Acupuncture or Dry needling involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin and muscles. It is an adaption of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine.

The inserted needles stimulate the bodies own pain pathways to cause the release of hormones and chemicals from secretory organs which help to relax muscles, reduce inflammation and also analgesic properties to bring pain relief. In short the needles help the body to heal itself.

Issues such as Chronic (longterm) pain, Migraines and Muscle & Joint pains are commonly treated via Medical Acupuncture. Effectiveness may take a couple of treatments and is often at its height a couple of days after treatment therefore a course of treatments is often recommended.
