Sports Therapy for the treatment of chronic and acute pain

Sports massage addresses specific problem areas in the body & can alleviate pain or discomfort by providing a treatment that is tailored to your specific needs and presenting symptoms.

​Treatments consider the mind:body connection to pain and aim to treat holistically. 

​Pain is necessary to alarm the body that there is an issue somewhere in the body - it is a useful protective mechanism.  However, things can sometimes spiral out of control and we can enter what's referred to as the "pain:spasm cycle".   Treatments can help to break this cycle and over-ride pain signals.

The area of pain is not always the area of dysfunction - with this in mind, Away Pain Therapy aims to resolve the issue via evaluation & assessment, as well as hands-on-therapy.

​Pain signals can in fact remain active long after the initial causative factor is sorted,  and the psychological impact of chronic pain can remain (even when pain-provoking structures have healed), which exaggerate the notion of living with chronic pain. Away Pain Therapy will guide you in techniques that may help, referring on to a network of talking-therapy professionals if appropriate.
