Sports therapy and remedial massage is an aspect of health care that is specific to treating and preventing musculoskeletal pain, injury, and dysfunction. The aim is to rehabilitate the patient back to the best possible levels of function. This is available to sporty and non-sporty people alike.
As demand and waiting lists within the NHS are increasing, Sports Therapy is often seen as an alternative to MSK Physiotherapy sessions to help complement and optimise your recovery.
The treatment may involve a number of different modalities specific to the patient’s suitability and needs, the patient’s lifestyle, hobbies, work profession, mental health, and goals are also taken into consideration. This allows the therapist to create a treatment plan which has a holistic approach, in order to allow you to continue with your recovery and improvements.
Conditions which would benefit from sports & remedial therapy, just to name a few:
Where necessary and appropriate, patients may be referred to a Doctor or another trusted professional, such as: Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Counsellor or another form of holistic therapy.
An adaptation of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Medical Acupuncture is a Western approach to treating musculoskeletal pain and injury. Typically used by Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, and Sports Therapists/Rehabilitators. This treatment combined with other techniques can reduce pain by up to 50%, and increase range of movement. It is a great treatment to receive to stimulate the healing process if recovery has been stagnant.
MLD is a gentle treatment, with powerful effects. The priority is to improve the action of the lymphatic system, and there by boosting the immune system. Perfect for helping conditions such as lymphedema/lipedema, IBS.

A unique treatment which uses cups which create a vacuum to lift the skin and connective tissue. This helps to decompress underlying soft tissues, create space, and increase nutrient-rich blood supply to the areas being treated. Great for treating pain, scar tissue, and adhesions and maintaining healthy tissues. In some cases, cupping marks may be left post-treatment, however, this is not permanent, nor a bad thing. This can very from person to person.
Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy focusing on the hands or feet. It can help to re-balance your body and facilitate healing and well-being in a relaxing and therapeutic way. Anyone can receive this wonderful treatment, from new born babies to those who are receiving end of life care.
Reflexology works on the principle that different reflex points on the hands and feet link to
different areas of the body, including the internal organs, nervous, endocrine and immune
systems, as well as the musculoskeletal system. The focus is to bring balance to the whole
body, mind and spirit.
As your therapist is a Clinical Reflexologist, the treatments may also work alongside any
conventional medical care, and may help to positively support any clinical health conditions.
The deep relaxation and improved sense of wellbeing may also be particularly beneficial to
people who suffer from the many emotional, psychological and physical effects stress can
cause such as:
