Deep Tissue Massage
STT covers the treatment of all the soft tissues with the aim to treat both minor and chronic injuries whether caused through sport or a lifestyle factor. It involves a range of hands-on treatment such as general massage and other, more advanced techniques.
The aim is to identify the underlying causes of injury through means of assessments and special tests, and offer long-term improvements to physical wellbeing and injury prevention with sport or lifestyle specific exercise plans or rehabilitation.
* Although a Soft Tissue Therapist’s scope of practice includes an assessment and analysis, we are not qualified to make a diagnosis. Only your GP, osteopath or physiotherapist is qualified to diagnose your condition.
