Dry needling
Dry needling uses very fine, sterile needles to target specific areas of muscular tension.
It can be incorporated into your massage treatment when appropriate and may be particularly useful when working on areas that are difficult to address through massage alone.
I'll always explain the technique and make sure you're comfortable before using it.

Muscle Energy Techniques use controlled muscle contractions and resistance to help improve movement and address areas of muscular tightness or restriction.
METs can be incorporated into your treatment where appropriate and are often used alongside massage techniques.

Taping
Taping can be used as an additional treatment technique to provide support or sensory feedback to a particular area.
Depending on your needs, I may use different taping techniques as part of your treatment and will explain how and why the tape is being applied.
IASTM

Taping
IASTM uses specialised tools to apply controlled pressure to the soft tissues.
It can be used alongside hands-on massage to target specific areas of muscular tension and restriction.
I'll only use additional techniques when I feel they are appropriate for your individual treatment.
