Tina is a very experienced Sports and Remedial massage therapist, continually adding skills to her tool box.

A treatment with Tina may consist of a combination of various sports massage and remedial techniques, designed to restore muscle function, ease tension and pain. The session is bespoke and if required may include dry needling, low level laser or the use of the Atlasbalans fascia release tool.

Dry needling can be used for but not limited to Myofascial trigger point release. For example, the acupuncture needle reaches the specific point of tension where muscle fibres which are unable to function normally, stimulating the fibres within the muscle to quickly contract to release, restoring function

The Atlasbalans Fascia release tool delivers deep pulsations of varying frequencies. The body - human and equine - is made up of fascia, which is found in every cell. Fascia connects the body and exists in different sheets, following fascia lines.

Kinesio tape is often seen on the world stage sported by athletes. It can be used activate weak muscles, or calm down over tight muscles by way of proprioceptive feedback. It can help reduce pain by way of space correction, subtly lifting the skin and decompressing the area of congestion, to allow the body to heal.
