Pain Management and Muscle Release
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is more than just a massage with deep pressure. The goals and techniques focus on realigning the deeper layer of muscles and connective tissues. Designed to help sportsmen recover after exercise, it works by physically breaking up adhesion's in the muscle to relieve pain and helps to restore correct movement. The therapist employs thumbs, forearms and elbows to work muscle tissue and relieve tension, the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension and stretching helps shorten recovery time after muscle strain. This massage is one of the most effective ways to prevent and treat muscle injuries, pain and soreness.
You can chose to have your treatment on a massage table or massage mat.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is a complementary therapy that aims to treat muscles that are damaged, tense or immobile. It is useful for a number of problems that affect the muscles, tendons and bones and can address a number of other health problems.
Remedial massage is used to locate and repair damaged areas of the body and speed up the body’s own healing processes. The pressure applied in this healing treatment can either be strong and deep or gentle and shallow, depending on the problem.
Problems with the muscles can trigger or radiate pain to other parts of the body. Remedial massage aims to trace the original reason for the pain, tackling both the cause of the problem and the symptoms.

Client Feedback
After only one session my painful tight hamstrings were improved so much that no pain has been received whilst exercising, playing sport or general movement since, several months on! ' 'I have had reason to seek physical sports massage/therapy from Heather on seven past occasions.
Simon
I started seeing Heather approximately 6 weeks ago, with a stiff lower back and virtually no hip mobility, it was so bad I was unable to play golf. After our 2nd session I was back out on the course swinging freely. The best in the business..easiest 5 star review I’ve ever given!
Richard
Heather, always with a solution, always producing results that allow mobility and comfort. Brilliant customer care and honest advice.
Susan
Cannot recommend Heather enough, right from the first call she provided expert advice in effective measures to help ease my lower back pain. She taught me a range of exercises I'm still using today to help loosen my lower back and to relive any excessive tension. You'll be in safe hands!

Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Bodywork is a wonderful holistic treatment performed on a Kapok mat in loose clothing, to stretch in a wonderful, relaxing flow of movements which releases aches, tensions and pain. The practitioner uses thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet to apply a combination of acupressure, gentle rocking and twisting, joint and spine mobilisations and assisted yoga stretches. With the therapist using body weight instead of strength and a steady and meditative rhythm. Having a Thai stretching session is like doing yoga without the effort. It’s both energising and relaxing.
This treatment is performed on a massage mat.
