OUR SERVICES & TREATMENTS
Below are some of the main treatments offered at our clinic and conditions and complaints that we can help with. Through assessment and discussion the therapist will explain which would be most appropriate for your individual needs. In some cases massage may not be appropriate so please look over the contraindications page before booking an appointment.
GENERAL MASSAGE
General massage uses a combination of techniques including effleurage, a gentle movement of skin and muscle to warm the area, pettrissage, a kneading and rolling of muscle fibres to loosen and realign, friction, a specific movement onto small areas of knotted muscle tissue to aid tension release.
POSITIONAL RELEASE
Positional Release combines the pressure of NMT with a gentle manoeuvring of the muscle into a position of comfort. This can be particularly effective with areas of pain where other massage techniques have been less effective.
NMT
Neuromuscular Technique is a complex technique that attempts to use pressure directly to problem areas to release the fibres through stimulation. It has long lasting effects and can have immediate results. The pressure applied can cause some discomfort but this is monitored closely by the therapist and should disappear within seconds.
MET
Muscle Energy Technique uses the concept of the therapist slowly stretching a muscle, with the client then gently contracting the same muscle to allow it to go beyond its original set range of movement. This technique has visible results instantly and is very gentle and relaxing.

Testimonials
"Nicola helped me to recover from an injury that had completely stopped me from running. After following her advice and receiving regular treatment I was able to return to form. If anything I am now running more comfortably than I have in a long time, and remain injury free." David
