Services
Sports Massage
Our sports massage therapy utilises deep tissue techniques and the 'Be Activated' method to enhance muscle recovery and prevent injuries. This service improves circulation, breaks down scar tissue, and increases flexibility through advanced soft tissue manipulation. Clients benefit from tailored sessions addressing specific muscular imbalances and movement patterns.
Buteyko Breathing
Certified Buteyko breathing programmes retrain dysfunctional breathing patterns to alleviate asthma, anxiety, and sleep disorders. This evidence-based method improves oxygen delivery through controlled breath-holding exercises and nasal breathing correction. Patients experience reduced medication dependency and enhanced overall energy levels.
Injury Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehabilitation for sports injuries combines manual therapy, acupuncture, and progressive exercise programmes. We specialise in treating ligament sprains, tendon strains, and chronic conditions like osteitis pubis through biomechanical assessment and targeted interventions. Recovery timelines are accelerated through integrated treatment approaches.
Oxygen Advantage
Oxygen Advantage training enhances athletic performance by simulating high-altitude training through controlled breathing exercises. This method increases red blood cell production, improves VO2 max, and delays fatigue onset. Athletes benefit from enhanced endurance and faster post-exercise recovery rates.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments integrate traditional Chinese medicine with modern sports therapy to relieve pain and inflammation. This technique targets trigger points to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and accelerate healing for conditions like frozen shoulder and repetitive strain injuries.
