SPORTS MASSAGE Banish muscle tightness and strain

Sports massage therapy treats a wide range of musculo–skeletal problems – from tendonitis and frozen shoulder to sciatica and groin strain – as well as preventing the onset of injury.

It is by no means restricted to sports players and may be effectively applied to domestic and industrial injuries as well.

Sports massage therapy can significantly help a wide range of conditions including:

  • Tendonitis
  • Muscular spasm
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow
  • Groin strain
  • Shin splints
  • Work strain
  • Torn/ruptured ligaments
  • Repetitive strain
  • Sciatica
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Back pain
  • Runner’s knee
  • Postural problem

Charles Street Clinic has two sports massage therapists: Kim Weir FSMT (Assoc), LCSP (Assoc) and Angela Short MISRM, MFHT

Kim has worked extensively in the health and fitness industry – as a sports massage therapist and first aider in professional rugby.

Angela has over 18 years experience in the massage industry and attained Level 5 in Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage in 2011.

“Whether you are a performance-based athlete, part-time fitness enthusiast or just someone who feels stress physically from work or lifestyle factors, the soft tissue techniques involved in sport massage therapy offer an opportunity to relieve, rehabilitate and recover.”

“Each sports massage treatment varies from person to person,” says Kim, “but generally involves applying the hands to improve blood and lymph flow and to stretch muscles in order to increase their flexibility and improve elasticity.”

“Treatments can include many different techniques, depending on the needs of the client,” says Angela. “Typically we use a combination of soft tissue release, neuromuscular release, myofasical release, muscle energy techniques, mobilisation and myofasical kinesiology taping.”

COUNSELLING

All of us experience difficulties and challenges in our lives which are not always easy to address on our own. So the opportunity to talk freely and be heard in a safe and confidential environment can really help explore and reconcile the issues we’re facing.

The counselling service at the Charles Street Clinic provides just this opportunity and will help you look at problems in a different way with someone who will encourage you to express yourself – and respect what you have to say. You can reflect on your reaction to life’s challenges, identify coping strategies and gain more control of your life.

Counselling is appropriate for a wide range of relationship and personal problems including:

  • Relationship issues
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Depression
  • Anger management
  • Low self esteem
  • Bereavement
  • Divorce
  • Life changes
  • Social phobia
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Panic attacks
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder
  • Abuse (mental, physical, sexual)
  • Eating disorders
  • I thought I was just feeling a bit down, adjusting to a few life changes and went to see Christine over a period of six months. She has literally changed my life – I am more in touch with myself and am happier and more relaxed than I have ever been. It has been an amazing journey.

  • Since an accident in 1993 I’ve not been able to walk and have had very little movement in my right shoulder, arm and hand. Kim has worked wonders in releasing tendons and improving muscle movement and circulation. Thanks to her I’ve enjoyed an amazing improvement in my overall mobility.

She has sorted out my sports injuries from riding and playing hockey. She also looks at the bigger picture in terms of postural and occupational conditions - I cannot recommend her highly enough! 5 star treatment!

  • I am 73 years old and last June I suffered a very serious, level one trauma as I fell from my horse- I multi fractured my pelvic and badly ruptured my bladder.I was hospitalised over four very long months- not being able to move at all. I had four surgeries, covid and much more. Last October I arrived home on a zimmer frame- having not walked since June. The prognosis was grim for my future mobility plus I suffered from high anxiety and PTS syndrome. I was determined to re gain my health and now thankfully, I can now walk all day, with no help needed! I work my horses again and feel for much of the time much more ‘ME’ I had turned to Sam at Charles Street Clinic for help as cranial osteopathy has always supported me through my riding career. Over these months I have felt the powerful changes, the return of my mobility, my general health and energy levels. I have re gained much of my confidence which was extremely low over months. My diet, my family and my determination have helped me hugely but to have the support of Sam during this time of healing has helped me on every level. Thank you so very much Sam, I highly recommend you - your treatment looks way beyond the problem, in fact it is magical-you embrace the needs of the WHOLE person.
