Sports massage is not only for sporting people! 
The soft tissue therapy techniques used are designed to assess, treat and rehabilitate any musculoskeletal problems you may be suffering with; whether sports-related or not. The following can all be improved with soft tissue therapy:
  • Injuries
  • Common postural pain
  • Muscular aches & pains
  • Lack of flexibility
  • Restricted movement
Treatment will be based on your specific complaint but will employ a combination of hands-on deep tissue massage and assisted stretching techniques.
 
Some problems may require the use of techniques that work at a neuromuscular level to reset dysfunctional muscles, such as trigger point massage, soft tissue release, and muscle energy techniques known as post-isometric relaxation and reciprocal inhibition.
Acupuncture for Muscular-Skeletal Injuries

Acupuncture is a tool of Oriental medicine and works on the principal that the body’s energy flows like an electrical circuit, a blockage in which can result in pain. Acupuncture works by applying needles to specific points that have a beneficial effect in the pain. Because needles can be applied to points away from the area of discomfort, acupuncture can even be used to treat painful and acute conditions.
 
Dan decided to learn acupuncture for musculoskeletal injuries as an additional way to be able to treat certain conditions. His training was with the renowned Bernard Nolan, who has over 30 years experience in acupuncture and has worked with major UK football clubs and has treated world record holding and paralympic athletes. It is a specific qualification open to Level 5 sports massage therapists (the highest level of training available), osteopaths, physiotherapists and chiropractors and is taught at the Oxford University Sports Complex.
 
Dan uses acupuncture alongside massage techniques as an additional part of his treatments. If you have multiple areas of concern it allows him to treat one area of the body with acupuncture while massaging another which results in a fuller, more comprehensive treatment.
 
Effects of acupuncture:
  • Pain relief
  • Relief of tight tissue; muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendons
  • Relief of general superficial symptoms
  • Improved wellbeing
  • Improved relaxation
Acupuncture is particularly effective in treating conditions such as frozen shoulders and plantar fasciitis, but will not always be the most appropriate course of treatment and there is no additional charge for treatments using acupuncture. That way you can be assured it will only be used it if it is the right treatment method for your problem.
