Soft Tissue Therapy and Sports Massage

What is Soft Tissue Therapy?

Soft Tissue Therapy is designed to address specific musculoskeletal issues using a range of hands-on techniques that systematically target muscles, tendons and fascia to relieve pain and promote healing.

The treatment aims to restore functional movement and encourage positive postural changes. By improving muscle tone, symmetry and balance helping to realigning the soft tissue to support optimal joint positioning.

Each session is tailored to your individual symptoms and needs. I combine clinical assessment, advanced soft tissue techniques and prescribed exercises to deliver the most effective care.

  • Laura has been brilliant in helping to restore mobility in my back and neck. She is very professional and thorough and I have seen huge benefits since she has been giving me deep tissue massage.

    Judi

  • Working with Laura has been fantastic in helping me manage old injuries so that I can enjoy keeping fit. The combination of her knowledge and practical support approach is very motivational and really helps me understand how to get the best out of training and reach my personal goals. She’s also a great listener which means that massage work always pinpoints exactly whats needed to get me training again. Recommend her highly.

  • I met Laura when I was in serious pain with my shoulder and back, that kept me awake night after night. After few sessions of professionally targeted massage, the pain was reduced to minimum and I was fully functional. Laura, also, helped me a lot with changing my fitness and nutritional routine for which I am hugely appreciative. From being absolute non-runner, now I can manage every weekend to do 2-3 miles of cross country run! Thank you Laura!

    Eli

  • After massages I used to feel tired and sluggish but since using Laura my legs have felt like they could run forever. Highly recommended for runners of all persuasion.

    Ben

  • I found that with previous massages to combat tension in my back I would end up feeling a lot worse afterwards, as though a can of worms had been opened up! I almost thought it wasn’t worth having the massage in the first place. However, Laura’s techniques seem to get to the heart of the problem, and leave my back feeling much healthier and stronger.

    Laura

  • Laura's treatments have helped me greatly with posture and flexibility which has improved general comfort as well as my post-exercise recovery

    Bill

  • I love having a sports massage with Laura. She is professional and friendly. Unlike other sports massages I have had, Laura is very knowledgable and has an attention to detail - I leave feeling less tense, more mobile and in less pain. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.

    Olivia

  • The first time Laura treated me, I realised I had never had a real massage before! Her skill, experience and thoroughness have made a real difference to my flexibility and relieved several long standing problems.

    Christina

  • I have been going to Laura for sports massage treatment for many years and can't recommend her enough. Her massages have helped enormously with neck, lower back and sciatic issues, which flare up now and again. Following a very firm sports massage, I'm always left much looser, and in a lot less discomfort. I would 100% recommend Laura!

    Sophie

  • I can't recommend Laura highly enough. I have been using Laura for a few years now and she has always been amazing. She is very knowledgeable and knwos exactly what to do to get you back up and working again.

    Mat

  • Laura has been helping me with my back for at least 7 years. The job I do is very physical and Laura not only helps to deal with any areas of pain I have but also helps to increase my mobility. I see Laura on a regular basis and not just when I'm in pain or injured because she really helps my overall physical well-being. Laura has a very calm nature and is very thorough in her approach to finding out where the difficult areas are in my back. I always feel so much better and more supple after each session.
