Based in Woodley, Smoothing Knots has been providing sport & clinical massage to clients throughout the Reading, Berkshire, Hampshire & Oxfordshire area since 2012. Over 9 years, I've had success with many clients, restoring them back to normal movement from either poor working practices, postural imbalance or fixing injuries sustained through sporting exploits.
Some simply book a massage to de-stress! As a level 5 practitioner, this qualification guarantees clients of skilled & relevant use of advanced muscle manipulation techniques. As the client, you select from the therapies available to suit your individual needs; this may vary session to session.

Services
The Initial consultation is 60 minutes. This includes a brief medical history & postural assessment which takes between 10 -15 minutes with the rest of the session yours for treatment. This treatment via machine allows quick & adaptive healing - I may use this treatment as part of your wider session however sometimes it's advantageous to use them in isolation in which case we would discuss a viable treatment & pricing plan.
Treatment is primarily a deep tissue massage complemented with a variety of joint mobilisation techniques to work deeper to specific areas of tension. During the treatment, muscles are stretched & lengthened using techniques which physically & neurologically RELEASE them from their CONTRACTED & TIGHT state.
My treatment room is a converted, detached, ground floor unit with a WC. This ensures you can be guaranteed privacy while being treated and focus on your treatment. If you are having deep tissue massage, you might be lying prone, supine or on your side. As massage is a skin-on-skin technique, with an all body massage it is preferable that you remove clothing down to underwear.
My BTEC Level 5 qualification ensures a detailed knowledge of techniques designed to alleviate pain & restore muscular & postural balance. After 8 years of working my own clinic, I've treated about a thousand clients covering most sporting injuries & postural imbalances. I am generally 'sporty' & active daily.

I honestly can not recommend Smoothing Knots enough. I have had a lot of back problems since having a baby and after just two sessions I am already feeling amazing. Although I have a lot of work to do with Smoothing Knots I know I am exactly in the right hands. Friendly, affordable and a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

I visited Vicci at Smoothing Knots about 3 years ago when I worked in Reading and she really knows her stuff. Sorted the problems out within a few visits.
Now that I’m working back in Reading I’ve only seen Vicci twice so far and already the muscle cramps and hamstring issues are feeling way better. I cant recommend Vicci at Smoothing Knots enough!
Professional and very knowledgeable allowing me to get back into training straight away 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
