Clinical Services

Clinical Treatment & Soft Tissue Therapy

Remedial Massage Therapy

A targeted, therapeutic treatment that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of muscle pain, tension and restricted movement.  It used techniques such as deep tissue work, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to reduce discomfort, imporve mobility and assist recovery from injury or postural strain.

It is ideal for people experiencing workplace tension, chronic tightness, or soft tissue injuries, and is tailored to each client's specific needs.

Myofascial Release

A gentle, targeted manual therapy that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions within the body's fascia - the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, nerves and organs.   When fascia becomes tight or stuck due to stress, posture, injury, or overuse, it can limit movement and create pain patterns.

Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure to soften and lengthen these restricted areas, helping to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve overall function.  It is especially effective for chronic tension, postural issues and movement limitations.

For further information or to book an appointment, please get in touch.

Trigger Point Therapy

Targets tight, hyper-irritable points in muscles and fascia that can cause local or referred pain.  Based on the pioneering work of Dr. Janet Travell, who mapped predictable pain referral patterns, this method helps release stubborn tension and restore normal muscle function.  It also aligns with Thomas Myers' Anatomy TrainsModel, recognising how trigger points affect entire myofascial chains throughout the body.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

CST is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the body's craniosacral system - the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.  Using light, sustained touch, CST aims to release restrictions in these tissues, calm the nervous system, and support the body's natural ability to self correct.  Clients often describe the treatment as deeply relaxing, making it helpful for stress-related tension, headaches, chronic pain, and nervous system dysregulation. 

CST is suitable for people seeking a subtle restorative approach that complements other manual therapies.

Postural and Movement Assessment

The foundation of effective hands -on treatment.  It involves observing how the body aligns, moves and compensates during everyday positions and functional tasks.  By identifying muscular imbalances, restricted movement patterns, and areas of tension or overuse, this assessment hleps reveal the underlying causes of pain or dysfunction just the symptoms.

This process draws on principles from myofascial anatomy, which highlights how posture and movement are influenced by long, interconnected myofascial lines throughout the body.  It also complements the clinical insights used in remedial massage, myfascial release, trigger point therapy and craniosacral therapy, ensuring treatment is targeted, informed and holistic.

I’m also a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor, passionate about empowering others with the tools to support mental wellness in their communities and workplaces. As a facilitator of holistic health, I bring together physical, emotional, and energetic approaches to healing—because true wellness is never one-dimensional.
