What is shockwave therapy? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue.

What is Soft Tissue Therapy ?
An interesting question, because is it just a massage ?
YES, but also NO.
It was never going to be that easy!
How does it differ from a massage?
Let's explain the similarities and differences...
Soft Tissue Therapy (STT)
Utilizes effective traditional hands-on therapy techniques, making it the most hands-on of all therapies with numerous benefits. STT aims to treat not only the immediate problem but also the root causes of injury such as poor posture, past injury, or occupational stress factors, promoting proactive injury prevention and overall physical well-being. STT is a crucial aspect of postoperative recovery and injury prevention.
As a world-leading therapy center for neuromuscular conditions, we have been using STT continually for the last 13 years to increase joint mobility, muscular symmetry, swelling and bruising reduction, and joint realignment. Additionally, we use STT techniques to strengthen muscles and joints, activate the body, and improve its functioning.
While massage is an essential part of STT, STR techniques (soft tissue release) and MET (muscle energy techniques) are also employed for deep muscle fibre fixing, stretching, and joint opening. NMT (neuromuscular techniques) rebalances the neural pathways to restore normal length and tone to soft tissues, with tolerable levels of pressure applied into trigger points or slow, deep friction.
We Also offer
Our clinic also offers dry needling as part of a broader physical therapy approach to treating muscle tissue, reducing pain, deactivating trigger points, and restoring function.
With our background was in elite sport, both playing and coaching, and over 13 years experience focusing on neuromuscular conditions, injury rehab, strength and condition. We tailor programmes and treatments for many conditions and clients. We have experience on working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds and needing a range of personalised treatments, such as:
Office workers with a sore back or needing help with posture, to relieving aches and pains.
Body builders needing recovery and injury rehabilitation.
Drivers that need to stretch and relax.
School teachers on their feet all day and needing to take care of their backs.
Parents needing an hour to themselves, and for someone to take care of them! A lot of our parents are also constantly lifting and supporting to facilitate their children too, so it is important to look after you as well!
So who comes to our clinic ???
You do!
You don't have to be injured to come to us, although we are excellent at working through injuries, you can come just to relax, chat and be looked after... Plus, prevention is always better than cure!
And we can't wait to see you...
