Frequently Asked Questions

Below I have answered a  few of the frequently asked questions about the treatments offered. If you have any other questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Where will the treatment happen?

I am now working on a mobile basis having moved near to Chipping Sodbury in South Gloucestershire

I am very happy to travel around South Gloucestershire and into North Bristol.

Areas covrered include Yate, Chipping Sodbury and surrounding villages, Pucklechurch, Downend, Filton, Bradley Stoke, Avonmouth, Thornbury. I can travel as far north as Stroud.

Drop me a line if I haven’t mentioned your area and I will see what I can do!

I will bring my massage table to you and you can have treatment in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

If you have concerns about space required please drop me a message. A lot of problem areas can be treated with you comfortably seated in a chair if required. 

I will bring the massage table and any other equipment I require. I ask that you provide one or two towels.

Who can benefit from Soft Tissue Therapy?

Almost everyone! Anyone can be affected by muscle tightness or pain. Soft Tissue Therapy deals with muscles,ligaments and tendons. The pain or dysfunction that can occur when these are damaged or not working correctly can be helped a great deal by the treatments we offer.

How many appointments will I need?

Everyone is different. Sometime a few treatments and the associated stretches and exercises may be enough.

Sometimes more regular appointments may be required to treat issues such as being stuck in a chair all day at work or an intense fitness schedule.

We will create a treatment plan together to best suit your needs.

What should I wear?

I will ideally need access to the area I am treating so underwear or loose shorts are usually best. Long or tight shorts or leggings can be restrictive so are not ideal for accessing problem areas. Towels will be used throughout the appointment and only the area being worked on will be exposed. If you are at all uncomfortable with this we will work together to provide a good treatment using different techniques. It is imperative you feel comfortable at all times whether you are suitably undressed or fully clothed.

Why do I have to fill out a medical history questionnaire?

This is to ensure that we can offer the safest treatment possible and tailor your treatment to your specific needs and possible limitations.

Why do you assess?

This is part of what differentiates Soft Tissue Therapy from regular sports massage. A detailed assessment at the beginning of an appointment allows us to get to the root of the issue and learn together what will be needed in the treatment.

Will I have homework?

Yes!

Your treatment and recovery does not finish when you leave our session. I will provide tailored exercises and stretches to help your particular issue, and these will help to maintain the benefit of our treatment session.
