Even with the best possible training and stretching regime injuries are likely to occur at some point, whether that is an acute injury such as a muscle or tendon tear or an overuse injury that has built up over time. Soft tissue therapy can help with both acute and chronic injuries to help the body through the healing process. If you spend all day in the office you may want to relieve the stress of daily life, be that neck, shoulder or back pain. If you’re an active sportsman or woman you want to stay free from niggles and injuries that may prevent you from performing to the best of your ability. Regular soft tissue therapy can help an athlete stay on track with their training goals or relieve the aches and pains associated with your job. If you are training for an event then pre and post-event treatment can supplement your training programme. Pre-event treatment can help you arrive at the start of your event in the best possible condition and is tailored to your specific needs based on the type of event you are planning to do. Post-event treatment is more about reducing the chance of muscle soreness or injury. Soft tissue techniques can help the body recover and improve an athlete’s ability to return to training and competition, reducing the risk of injury.
