At Bodymax Sports & Remedial Therapy, our highly skilled therapists fully invest in all our clients ensuring that we give the best diagnosis, treatment, advice and aftercare to maximise your function and restore your body to a pain-free state so that you can return to your everyday activities, workplace and/or sport. Below is a short explanation of what services are available:

MASSAGE THERAPY

This uses the manipulation of your soft tissues, muscle, tendons, ligaments and fascia to deliver a bespoke treatment specifically designed to relieve muscle tension, remove waste products and alleviate muscle soreness after intense activity. It also assists in the correction of musculoskeletal imbalances to improve your posture, alignment and flexibility.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Shockwave therapy is a state of the art new, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment that boasts an 80%+ success rate. It delivers impulses of energy to target specific damaged tissues that break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, stimulates cell regeneration and healing and helps to decrease local factors which can cause pain that builds in the affected area.

MEDICAL & ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE

Medical acupuncture (also known as ‘Western’ acupuncture) uses needles to stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities but differs from the traditional Chinese practice as it does not adhere to the concepts of Qi. It also helps to relieve pain and musculoskeletal problems by stimulating the brain and nervous systems by releasing pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins). Electro-acupuncture further assists the healing process by passing low-frequency electrical impulses via the needles through the affected soft tissues.

ULTRASOUND

This treatment works in two-ways using heat and cavitation: 1. Blood flow is increased by delivering a deep heat to your soft tissues helping them to become more pliable. 2. Cavitation introduces energy into your body causing microscopic gas bubbles around the tissues to rapidly expand and contract which assists and speeds up the healing process.

TAPING AND STRAPPING

Kinesiology tapes are fast becoming the most widely used modality for athletic and healthcare due to their extensive and various benefits. They provide pain relief by lifting the skin away from the pain receptors, reduce swelling and inflammation, accelerate recovery from bruising, prevent and/or relieve spasms and cramps in your muscles, help to speed up the recovery from overuse and provide support to injuries without restricting your range of motion.

POSTURAL ASSESSMENTS

Your posture is the position that you hold your body in when you stand, sit or lay down. During the assessment, we use manual tests to check how well your muscles and joints are working together, identifying any imbalances that could cause, or are causing you pain and discomfort. Your body is at its best when it is in correct postural alignment; when it moves evenly and distributes your weight appropriately. When correct your muscles, joints and spine all work together reducing the risk of infrequent wearing of your joint surfaces, strains and overuse preventing aches and pains. It also assists you in your efficiency, your circulation, breathing, concentration and balance.

BESPOKE PROGRAMMING

We understand the diversity of everyday life and fully recognise that everybody and every ‘body’ is different. Therefore, delivering bespoke treatments and programming are of the utmost importance to us but more importantly, you!
