Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft Tissue Therapy includes a combination of massage, movement, stretches and neuromuscular techniques designed to reduce pain and improve your range of movement.
This is especially efficient in treating issue such as:
- Sore & Restricted Neck

- Painful Shoulders
- Achy Hips
- Knee Pain
- Achilles Tendinopathy & Plantar Fasciopathy
- Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
- Stress Related Tension
- Pregnancy Aches & Pains
First Appointment
During your first appointment we will briefly cover your medical history, and where relevant, assess range of movement but more importantly I will take the time to listen to your goals, expectation and the reasons that brought you to my treatment room in the first place.
Further to your initial assessment and treatment we will try and make sense of the factors that have contributed to your condition and find ways you can self-manage your recovery and how I can support you along the way.
Your first appointment is 75 minutes long and includes:
• Chat about your medical history, expectations and long term goals
• Physical joint mobility assessment where appropriate
• Hands on treatment
• Feedback to help you manage your recovery or pain relief at home
• Exercise or activity plan, if/where needed
Follow-Up Appointment
Follow-up sessions can often fit into half hour appointments.
• Re-assessment
• Hands on treatment
• Tweak/progress your rehabilitation plan as appropriate
Scope of Practice
I specialise in treating and relieving pain in soft tissue such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, and supporting your recovery from minor musculoskeletal injuries such as strains, sprains and tendinopathy.
If however, during our initial assessment I believe your injury or pain requires treatment which is beyond my scope of practice I will refer you to a healthcare practitioner such as a physiotherapist, or your GP for specialist advice.
