At Bodyneed we specialise in treatment based massage - and this specialisation means we take what we do very seriously.
We are committed to looking after our clients and helping them any way we can!
If you have a soft tissue injury or problem we will do our utmost to sort it out, from researching the problem to liaising with other professionals and referring you onwards when we think you need it.

At Bodyneed we believe in the amazing results we can achieve -  together.

Within the realms of Sports, Remedial and Therapeutic massage your therapist may use various techniques such as:
Soft Tissue Therapy, Deep Tissue Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Scar Tissue Release, Myofascial Techniques, Orthobionomy, Pregnancy Massage, Lymphatic Drainage.

What To Expect

When you arrive you will be asked to fill in a 'client history form' - this gives your therapist a background to who you are and any pain, injury or dysfunction that may be present.
Our clients come to us for many different reasons - this form helps us understand your goals for visiting us and whether there are any contraindications for you receiving treatment.

Assessment

Many people visit us simply to de-stress and ease up tired muscles - but we also have many clients who require more in depth analysis, clinical reasoning and technical treatment.
The next step for these clients may be a full assessment including postural analysis, biomechanical assessment and injury assessment.
The purpose is to ascertain the best course of treatment for you!

Post Massage

Depending on your goals regular massage is recommended.
Your therapist will advise you on the frequency necessary to achieve the best results for you.
This could be from multiple weekly sessions to once a month.
We advise all clients to drink plenty of water post massage, do not be alarmed if you feel quite drowsy, or a little ‘flat' or if you get that ‘just had a workout' feeling of stiffness the following day, these are all normal responses to massage as your body goes through a healing and flushing process.

So....why choose bodyneed?

Please note: We do not recommend massage the day before a big sports event or if you are in the 1st trimester of pregnancy unless you have had regular (weekly or fortnightly) massage before.
