What is Soft Tissue Therapy?

Ideal for someone who has either acute or chronic pain or injury, Soft Tissue Therapy is a form of deep tissue massage that works with the soft tissue in your body and your nervous system.

Soft tissue in your body includes the fascia, muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Treatment helps to identify and treat the causes of the pain or injury, not just the symptoms, to address the whole body, helping you to recover and regain full function. It also helps to relieve pain and tension that has built up in the body through activities you do in everyday life.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of treatment include:
$
Reducing pain
$
Recovering from an injury
$
Feeling ready to train again
$
Managing a health condition
$
Soft tissue therapy is relaxing
$
Coping with stress and anxiety

Soft Tissue Therapy works with your nervous system to calm your body, helping you to relax both physically and mentally so that you can feel good again. Because we focus on looking on the underlying cause for your pain or injury, the treatment and advice provided will be tailored to you, allowing you to take ownership of your health and wellbeing.

Most importantly, Soft Tissue Therapy feels great and helps you to:

Hurt Less, Move Better, and Live More!

What should you expect?

The focus of the treatment is to find a solution so you experience more than just temporary relief from your pain or injury.

Together, we’ll discuss the answers to these questions:

What hurts?

What do you hope to achieve?

What can you do to help yourself?
What can I do to help you?

Treatment may include a combination of techniques to help to ease your pain, to relax, and to feel more comfortable. It may also include an assessment of how you move, advice on exercise and movement, lifestyle advice, and pain education.

No treatment plan is ever the same. Together, we’ll come up with a plan to help you reach your goals to succeed.

The first treatment is usually 75 or 90 minutes long, and follow-up treatments can be either 60, 75 or 90 minutes.

“My feet were hurting terribly and making it hard to walk sometimes. Heather was very professional and pleasant. We discussed exercises and she emailed the instructions to me. My feet are so much better that I don’t even think about them anymore! I highly recommend Heather’s services”

— Lynda, 68

“I tore one of my rotator cuff muscles and experienced acute pain in my shoulder and very limited movement.  My experience with Heather was kinder, more dignified, and more professional than the treatment I received at my local Minor Injuries Unit which left me in tears.  I would highly recommend Heather for her kindness, knowledge and professionalism in the field of Soft Tissue Therapy.”

— Julie, 46

“On Valentine’s Day, I took a tumble when out running with Fonzie, my dog, but we are so grateful to Heather for her expertise and support.  A magical combination of the right knowledge, rehab exercises, and massage has meant that for the first time, my ankles feel really strong, and we feel like we can run again!  I’m so very grateful and can’t wait to see how things improve even further!”

— Rachel, 37

 

“My husband, David, had several treatments for lower back pain from Heather.  He left home in great discomfort and returned a new man.  How he wishes we hadn’t moved 365 miles away; otherwise, he would be seeing Heather regularly.  She is amazing!!!!”

— Julie on behalf of her husband David, Retired, 66

“Saw Heather today for the first time, and it was a brilliant session!  Consultation was very thorough and Heather was exceptional with her knowledge on why I was having problems in my back. I felt so good just after this first massage session that I wasn’t in any pain and was able to go out for a run!  I highly recommend her for anyone wanting someone knowledgeable and skilled to help with their problems”

— Holli, 32

“Heather is amazing at her job and so lovely.  She creates a warm and friendly environment and puts you at ease and listens to your needs.”

— Lisa, 51

I left feeling rejuvenated. Heather is so warm and makes you feel really listened to. I have been visiting Heather after suffering a prolapsed disc in my lower back, which has led to severe sciatic pain in my lower leg and foot. She has really concentrated on these areas and I always feel the benefit after attending her clinic. I would highly recommend!

Went to see Heather with some discomfort in my shoulder. What a lovely lady who took time to listen and really understand the problem. Gave me a massage concentrating on the problem area, taped the muscles and followed up with an exercise plan. Would recommend and I will be returning.

So pleased to have found this little miracle worker. Love the care and attention Heather provides to really understand your needs and how she works with you, not only when you're there but also the plans she provides to allow the rehabilitation to continue between appointments. I am seeing Heather to sort out issues with my back and even after the first session, there was a marked improvement. What's great is that it's not a quick fix where the issue comes back a couple of days later, it stays away! I look forward each time to seeing Heather. She's incredibly professional, informed and friendly. Thank you for what you do!

I have been suffering with shoulder pain and reduced movement for a couple of years, and it has been getting steadily worse. The hospital consultant said that an operation is possible but they cannot guarantee the outcome. After my first soft tissue therapy treatment with Heather Venables i was amazed at the change. I have experienced a significant reduction in pain, and greatly improved mobility. At the moment we have a monthly treatment plan. I hope that this will improve the problem further.
