Sports Massage / Soft Tissue Therapy
As a qualified Sports Massage Practitioner, Lisa uses Soft Tissue Therapy to manage, manipulate and rehabilitate the soft tissues of the body (which include muscles, tendons and ligaments). It is NOT just for sports people but for anyone wishing to prevent or recover from a soft tissue injury or has tight or sore muscles e.g. desk workers, gym enthusiasts, new mums etc. The treatment tends to be medium-firm, however, Lisa will monitor your comfort levels and adjust the pressure accordingly.
