"A great local physiotherapy service offering physical massage therapy alongside exercise and stretching based treatments for injuries and to create better sporting form and function" Chris
Massage and Manual Therapy
Massage is the manipulating of superficial
and deeper layers of muscle, and
connective tissue using various
techniques, to enhance function, reduce
spasm, reduce pain, aid in the healing
process, relieve stress, improve blood flow, reduce swelling, promote
relaxation and well-being.
Physiotherapists will always ask about your medical history before performing any massage due to contraindications. These include deep vein thrombosis, bleeding disorders or taking blood thinners such as Warfarin, damaged blood vessels, weakened bones from cancer, osteoporosis, or fractures, bruising and fever.
Hands-on treatment can give instant results, or may take a few sessions to feel the full benefits, depending on the cause and duration of your symptoms. Massage can be used before or after sporting events or to ease general tightness and stiffness. Often our physiotherapists can use massage therapy to get to the root cause of an underlying musculoskeletal issue so if you are having regular massage sessions which dont seem to be easing your symptoms for long then come and see us so we can help not only offer relief, but also manage your symptoms.
