Most clients come to me because they have pain: chronic, or sudden or gradual onset as the result of an injury or overuse of a joint or muscle. Many come for relaxation massage. Usually I find there is some muscle adhesion or restriction which benefits from treatment along the way. Whatever your level of fitness or activity and whatever your age, it is likely that massage can benefit you.
At the first consultation I will take a medical history and after a physical assessment, establish a plan of treatment in conjunction with my client. The treatment will often aim to interrupt muscle spasm, improve circulation and increase or maintain range of movement but each client will have an individually-tailored plan.

Sports and remedial massage involves deep soft tissue work to treat recent injury (5 days after injury at the earliest) or long-term muscle or joint problems. You do not have to be a sports person to benefit from it! Using a combination of active, passive and resisted movements, an assessment is made of the problem being experienced.
When I first went to her I had a lot of shoulder pain as a result of many years playing the French Horn. Tina quickly pinpointed the exact area giving me the problem and was able to work on this, give me some postural advice and simple stretches to stop the problem getting worse. I no longer have any shoulder pain - something I did not believe could happen having seen previous massage therapists and an acupuncturist.
