What is Soft Tissue Therapy?

It is important to discern the difference between Soft Tissue Therapy and other massage therapies. We work with the soft tissues of the body but this does not mean it is “soft” in approach. It means we work with your skin, fascia, muscles (superficial and deep), tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, fibrous tissues, fat, other connective tissues and nerves. However massage shouldn’t be painful, contrary to past beliefs that it should be, to do good or work. This isn't just massage, it's Whole Woman Wellness. Bespoke problem solving soft tissue therapy treatment, tailored to your own needs using a variety of soft tissue therapy skills and techniques. We include the relaxing and de-stressing gliding strokes of effleurage and the kneading movements of petrissage and the real healing of the body begins when we include the techniques below.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Why do you need Soft Tissue Therapy?

Do you want to just lay down and relax? Or do you have specific aches and pains? Are you in need of de-stressing? Or why not see us about your old injury that plays you up?  The niggle in your back getting on your nerves? 

Throughout the years of working with women in the fitness world, I have noticed how so many are limited with their range of movement, due to feeling tight or stuck in areas of their body. The daily aches and pains that prevent women from feeling their best, if not corrected can cause a lot of discomfort in everyday life. We are here to help ease and alleviate some discomfort. Soft Tissue Therapy should be part of an ongoing self-care routine, to make sure your body is moving well and feeling well. We look forward to meeting you at one of our appointments. We deeply screen you online with our online private and confidential form before you arrive. We look forward to meeting you. We ultimately want you to feel heard, this is why our sessions are bespoke, your body is unique, we want you to leave feeling calm and relaxed. 

Our beautiful treatment room with windows looking out to trees is at The Blue Wave pool & gym in Margate. Kent. UK. Our unique location gives you the complete relaxation experience with views to suit.
