TREATMENTS

What to expect from a treatment?

SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports Massage is an essential part of any exercise regime in order for you to gain maximum results from your body. Ideally regular maintenance treatments ensure your body remains at peak performance and will identify problem areas BEFORE they result in an injury. Injuries can be very frustrating when you just want to get back to training and the faster you receive treatment the quicker the recovery rate. Treatment doesn't need to be painful as I prefer to work with your body rather than against it. Pain is there for a reason and it's my job to find out why the injury has occurred and hopefully prevent it happening again.

BACK & NECK PAIN

I specialise in Back and Neck pain and use a variety of techniques to help to restore you back to full health. I primarily use Deep Tissue Massage as this works deep into your muscles releasing them gently, as most back pain has built up over a number of years and requires firm but gentle persuasion to return back to its unrestricted state. I have had a great deal of success with sciatica in particular and this was the most common complaint that patients were referred to me, by their doctors in Devon.

THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound therapy is used mainly to treat acute injuries and is particularly useful in the first hours or days of an injury when manual treatment can be too painful. It works uses sound waves above the human hearing range to stimulate muscles and tendons at a cellular level to stimulate their healing capacity. This brings about a reduction in inflammation and subsequently a reduction in pain.
