Trigger pointing

We use trigger pointing as a method during your massage therapy sessions. As the name suggests, this specifically treats a trigger point and enables the muscles to soften and relax, treating the cause of the pain.

Exercise

As part of your bespoke rehabilitation plan with Body Consultancy, we will put in place a variety of exercises which we will recommend for you to perform whilst at home in between your sessions with your sports therapist.

“Damaged my knee at the gym, quickly diagnosed as a torn meniscus by Ella and after a few weeks of exercises and massage, I’m delighted to be back at the gym. Really helpful, understanding and professional. Thank you Ella.”

Mary DeBoos

“A very professional and friendly service with outstanding results. We visited Ella at Body Consultancy after my very active teenage son experienced some persistent hip pain. Ella diagnosed the issue straight away and over the course of 2-3 weeks, my son was able to progress back to full-match fitness. I also feel my son has learnt some valuable lessons about the importance of muscle activation that will support
his fitness in the future. A great service.”

Lisa Penny

“Ella was really helpful sorting out my back and giving me a comprehensive programme of exercises. I would highly recommend her.”

Denise Cant

“Fantastic sports therapy treatment from Ella, who identified the cause of the pain I was getting when running, provided a successful course of treatment and a manageable set of exercises for me to do at home. I’m now running again, pain-free. All the staff at Body Consultancy are friendly, helpful and professional.”

Our approach

Here at Body Consultancy, we offer 3 phases of care which will help to treat, stablise and maintain your condition:

Treat

We believe in working with the whole person – not just the painful area. So we’ll spend time really understanding not only your current symptoms but your daily activities, interests, experiences and goals.

Stablise

We’ll advise you on what needs to change in the way you, move and hold yourself so that your problem doesn’t re-occur. We’ll help you build new habits to support your continued progress to full mobility and movement.

Maintain

This ongoing phase is usually especially important for conditions we refer to as chronic (over 6 months), sub-acute (over 3 months) or acute (last few weeks) with significant re-occurring previous episodes.

How much will it cost?

Once you have met our Sports Therapist for your complimentary consultation. We will be able to provide you with a plan based on your requirements.
