Sports Massage in Bury | MoveTrue

Sports Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy

MoveTrue utilises many types of soft tissue management techniques including sports massage, soft tissue release, Functional Range Release and joint mobility. We carry out a thorough assessment during the first session and as a result we can see where the patient is at that moment, which enables us to create a treatment plan to get to the cause of the issue and an exercise programme is subsequently provided, as well as videos, for additionally long term improvement and progress at home.  

We provide particularly effective treatment of conditions such as: chronic muscular tightness and tension, chronic nerve pain, muscle tissue injuries, ligament and/or tendon injuries, tendonitis, fasciaitis, Post-Op recovery periods and many more…

Musculoskeletal Assessment

It is equally important for us to use principles of Functional Range Release (check the FR link) generally a combination of palpation and table test assessments to define a clear picture of your tissue quality and joint mobility, hence your muscular skeletal movement capabilities. Specific treatment strategies are then built and followed for the purpose of improved tissue function and restoration.

Joint Assessment

MoveTrue view joint assessment specifically as a fundamental aspect of any treatment plan. As a result of using the principles of Functional Range Assessment, (check this FRA link) we gather and record a thorough and accurate picture of the capabilities and limitations of the deepest tissues of your body with precise baseline measurements. With the detailed assessment results in hand, a more precise and beneficial treatment/training plan can be devised using Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) to improve ADL’s (activities of daily living), sports performance, general movement potential etc. 

Exercise Therapy/Prescription

During a session with MoveTrue, increasing awareness of body motion and control is vital to a full recovery and prioritised in the treatment plan. For the same reason as above, Functional Range Conditioning/FRC principles are utilised to specifically and systematically increase mobility, strength and body control both during a session and as homework to continue progress. Overall, the programmes produced should be used as a long term strategy to keep driving development and improvement over time, and will be adjusted as and when needed to avoid training stagnation. Sessions will include some active participation either on a treatment table or on a mat.
