Transverse Friction
Deep, rubbing movements across your muscle fibres and soft tissues to help break down scar tissue and adhesions.
PNF/MET Stretching
Assisted stretches using contract and relax techniques to improve your range of movement.
Therapeutic/Relaxation Massage*
Non-specific, usually lighter pressure. Prepares muscles for deeper treatment and may help to improve sleep and reduce anxiety and tension.
