Soft Tissue Therapy

 

Soft Tissue Therapy uses a number of different techniques as a remedy for pain, injuries or dysfunctions within the muscles and soft tissue. To do this it is not possible to just isolate an injured area but the whole body needs to be looked at as a whole.

 

Looking at the body in a static upright position will provide information on the body's alignment but human beings are active beings so to fully understand what is causing pain, dysfunction or injury then the body also needs to be looked at in motion.

​

During a treatment Hanna will take a detailed assessment of the clients presentations and together they will come up with a treatment plan which is unique to that client. 

At the end of the session Hanna might also give some remedial advice and exercises for the client to continue at home, this will help to make the changes achieved during the treatment more permanent within the client's body. She might also use kinesiology tape as part of the treatment or home care as required.

 

Her treatments take a holistic approach looking at the body as a whole to address the causes of an injury not looking merely at the injured area itself.
