I specialise in soft tissue injuries focusing on assessment, sports and remedial massage and rehabilitation. I'm qualified with IIST at level 5 in Sports Therapy (equivalent to a degree level) and I'm a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist. I qualified in 1997 and I have 27 years of experience working in clinics with the general public, sports teams, amateur and sports professionals. I'm a Sports T
herapist offering injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation with a specifically tailored exercise programme to suit your needs. I also offer Sports and Remedial Massage, KT and Rock Taping, Pregnancy and Post natal Massage Therapy, Hot Stones Massage Therapy and Exercise Prescription Fitness Programmes. They range from soft tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, assisted stretching, myofascial release and gentle mobilisation along with guided exercises. My aim is to release tension, increase mobility, reduce pain and help your road to recovery. I will take you through a rehabilitation programme and set you progressive exercises to build strength and encourage flexibility. Your rehabilitation programme will help rebalance your whole body, work with your posture and help you create new exercising and postural habits. BENEFITS of regular treatments and massage include:
* Ease your aches and pains.
* Feel better in yourself and your body.
* Get relief and reduce symptoms of chronic pain.
* Injury prevention.
* Increased flexibility and range of motion.
* Improve circulation.
* Relaxation.
* Overall well being. Regular massage will show any potential issues before they develop into more serious soft tissue injuries. I recommend regular weekly treatments until you start to feel improvements, then we can move onto a monthly maintenance programme. I will work with you, at your pace and together we will help your road to recovery. Barbara Rowell Sports Therapist
