Physiotherapy and orthopaedic massage are a natural and subtle way to treat the body's aches and pains

Remedial & orthopaedic massage is a natural and subtle way to treat the body's aches and pains. The therapist gently works deep into the muscle which encourages the body's own healing power and ability to repair.

Remedial massage can help a number of complaints including:

  • Poor circulation
  • Arthritis and rheumatism. These we cannot cure, but can certainly ease the pain and increase mobility thus improving quality of life.
  • Back pain and neck tension
  • Stress relief and relaxation
  • Sports injuries
  • Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
  • Sprains and strains (incl. whiplash)
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Tennis elbow
  • Chronic headaches
  • TMJ

Hands on therapies are one of the oldest forms of medicine known to man and were used in ancient Greek, Roman and Chinese civilisations. The word massage comes from the Greek word "massein", meaning to knead.

Our values

We strongly believe that the development of our clinical skills should go hand in hand with our capacity to promote compassion and kindness.

We believe that we have to be committed to continual learning to enable people to heal through the science of effective therapies and training.

We have a firm commitment to seeing each person as a unique individual and pride themselves in their inquiring minds when searching for the reason behind the injury and the pain.

We are keen to employ methods of treatment which will achieve positive clinical results for people in pain with a therapy that's comfortable to receive.

In enabling healing to take place within others, we actively unlock our own healing process which enables further personal growth.

We believe whichever faith we have chosen, it will guide our work.

We believe that unless we learn to care for ourselves, we will be unable to care for others.

The practice has a referral scheme to associated practitioners, so you can be sure of the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
