*Advanced Treatment Options*

Deep Tissue Transverse Frictions (DTTF)

Perfect for reducing muscle tension, improving movement, and restoring range of motion. This deep massage technique incorporates varied strokes, depths, and tempos to get you feeling and moving better. DTTF can be booked as a standalone treatment (30 minutes or 1 hour) or added to any sports massage.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)

IASTM uses specialised tools to treat soft tissue injuries effectively. It helps decrease pain, improve range of motion, break down scar tissue, and enhance blood flow for faster recovery. This technique can be incorporated into a sports massage or booked as an individual service.

Myofascial Cupping

Using specialised cups, this soft tissue therapy creates a vacuum effect to stretch and lift underlying tissues. Benefits include reduced tension, improved blood flow, and a calming effect on the nervous system. Cupping can be booked individually or as a complement to a sports massage.
