Sports and Soft Tissue Massage
Frequently asked questions

Sports massage does not need to hurt to be effective. I will access your needs and put a bespoke treatment plan together for you which will incorporate various techniques which we will talk through together. When working I constantly access clients response to touch and perception of pain, adapting the depth of massage and any specifically tender areas accordingly. The does not mean I will not find the specific areas that need working on and with clients permission use relevant techniques including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy etc to resolve issues. I do not work on a no pain no gain theory as this can do more damage than good. This can damaging the neurological response to touch and massage resulting in more muscle tension and pain. However I am happy to treat clients who prefer a firm deep tissue massage treatment.
