Our Massage Therapy Treatments

Deep Tissue

Using hands on or tools to work into the muscles, fascial and connective tissues in the body which can alter pain responses, improve mobility, flexibility to allow for improved function and exercise training. 

Swedish

More gentle than a deep tissue massage and better suited for patients needing relaxation and tension relief for muscles and joints. 

Sports Massage

Muscle massage techniques, tailored specifically for pre' or post events to aid preparation or recovery from specific sports or competition. 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A Specialised service specifically to reduce lymphoedema caused by swelling accumulating in areas of the body. Often used post operatively and for those with lymph node compromise post cancer treatment. 

Muscle Energy Techniques

Using a form of manual therapy, muscle contraction, stretching and mobilising, is a technique used to relax muscles prone to tension and overload.

The benefits of Massage Therapy

There are numerous benefits to getting a massage such as:

Reducing muscle tension

Improving range of motion

Improving lymphatic drainage

Reducing stress and improving sleep quality

Boosting immune function and alleviating pain by release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller.

Common symptoms that benefit from MLD 

Excessive post operative swelling

Lymphoedema swelling following lymph node removal, cancer treatments or tight scars

Congestive backlog from chronic inflammation, general oedema or restriction of movement e.g carpel tunnel, thoarcic outlet, lipoedema, traumatic injury

Cording (Lymphatic channel shortening due to scarring or congestion)

Neck and head oedema / swelling

Patient

I would definitely recommend Alex Ryan at Sky Physiotherapy, Ashton Gate. Alex treated me for back and leg pain with massage and exercises. I feel alot more flexible, pain free and confident for playing golf and other sports. A very professional and friendly clinic.
