What is Sports Therapy and how can it benefit me?

A Graduate Sports Therapist has excellent knowledge, and experience relevant to injury treatments and rehabilitation.

​

The knowledge and experience gained as a Graduate Sports Therapist
gives me the appropriate skills to effectively plan and implement rehabilitation programmes as well as being highly skilled in soft-tissue massage and mobilisation techniques.

​

A strategic individualized treatment plan often involves specific exercises
and stretches used in addition to soft-tissue sports massage and joint mobilisation techniques.

​

How many sessions does your average client require?

Typically, the majority of people respond positively within 3-6 sessions.

​

Why do I need an Assessment?

A thorough assessment is necessary in order to help the therapist establish an effective treatment programme so that the patient and the therapist can work together.

​

What are your qualifications?

BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy; MSc Advanced Sports Therapy & Exercise Rehabilitation; Level 6 Sports Massage; Level 5 Swedish & Remedial Massage; Dry Needle Musculoskeletal Acupuncture; Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage; Abdominal Massage; Oncology Massage; Makaton;

​

Why does rest alone not work?

Rest by itself is a helpful only to a point, it is important where possible to maintain a level of activity to assist recovery from injury (known as Active Rest). This is because muscles are inherently lazy by nature and by not using them appropriately a lazy muscle is difficult to retrain into its pre-injury state.

​

Are your prices competitive?

My pricing is competitive.  All graduate sports therapists and certified practitioners are required to maintain rigid pricing.
