Your story may involve emotional onset of pain or you could be training for an ultra marathon or a couch to 5k and are looking for support in those areas.

The appointment below (named storytime) is designed to help improve your story and deliver change in a holistic way.

Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope to meet you soon :)

In Work
Stress, Ergonomics, Time
For some of us our jobs can bring a level of stress that places demands onto our musculoskeletal system. The structure of my service gives time for us to discus areas where changes could be made and implemented easily at the start middle or end of your day. Some areas we may explore also include ergonomics at work and how to structure your time to implement a simple stretch routine in and around your schedule. On table will provide relief from the tension and heaviness you are experiencing. Off table will serve as a template for what movement will benefit your situation.
In Sport
Performance, Recovery, Injury
Depending on the reason for your appointment I provide Sports massage for Recovery and Performance focusing on the sport or activity you participate in. Our off table element could consist of new stretches and different stretch techniques or warmup / cooldown protocols you could build into your routine.
Injury classifications I work with include: Pre injured mild pain unto to Grade 3 Ligament Sprain. Your consultation & assessment will guide what is neccessary for on table treatment and off table rehabilitation. Off table we can start with exercises you should follow to begin your recovery. Part of my job is to get you focused on what is important and why time spent on rehabilitation will thank you in the long run.
In Life
Syndromes, Stress, fatigue
The structure of my service offers time to discuss the pain or discomfort you are experiencing day to day. This time in itself is always therapeutic and we can come up with a treatment plan that serves as a way forward. I have helped a range of individuals who experience general muscular stiffness to chronic pain derived from life stressors to those dealing with muscular syndromes.
On table will aim to reduce the pain or discomfort you are experiencing while off table will form strength or mobility techniques that I can demonstrate and together we can practice.
Story Time
*****
In work
"With a neck and lower back that suffer frequent pain due to a combination of weakness, tightness and sitting for long periods of time for work, Catriona has been incredible to help relieve my pain. Pain has reduced significantly since coming to Treat and Compete. I come back frequently to manage my pain and am able to due to the fair prices. Highly reccommend!"

In Sport
"Cash was recommended to me by a friend after I injured my lower back, nearly 2 years ago. Honestly one of the best recommendations I've received. Whatever injury or bad posture ailment I take, Cash somehow works her magic. We've worked through a number of things from lower back, shoulder injury to tight hip flexors. Amazing for on-going support if you're active or even if you just sit at your desk all day. Highly recommend and will continue going back."
