Massage Treatments
Pressure Point’s director, Clare Riddell has over 25 years sports massage experience working with a range of clients from recreational to international athletes. Sports massage is not just for the sporting individual; deep tissue massage is beneficial for anyone, no matter what their age and can aid with a range of injuries and chronic problems.​
About 50% of clients entering the clinic do not do any form of sport at all, but suffer with work-related, lifestyle or postural problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, neck pain, plantarfasciitis, lower back ache and tennis elbow.Services offered are described below and are priced by time rather than treatment. This allows clients to work within their time and budget constraints and a combination of therapies can be used together to provide a unique treatment.

What Should I Expect From a Session?
Please arrive on-time for your treatment and bring 2 large towels and a small towel with you. A session will always begin with a consultation as we need to know about your medical history, lifestyle, occupation etc. and the reason why you have come to see us. The session may involve a brief postural assessment, some special tests for your specific condition (if this is appropriate) and some joint/range of movement testing. ​
​
When we are ready to start the massage, we will explain exactly what clothing you need to remove and in what position to lie on the couch. You will have privacy to do this, then just give a shout when you are ready and draped correctly.
​
Once the treatment has finished, we may do a re-assessment and then let you get dressed in private. We will offer advice, stretches and possible further treatments to help you. If you have any questions throughout the whole session, please ask. This is a 2-way process and we want you to feel at ease and gain the most you can from every visit.
Will The Massage Hurt?
No, but there may be times when it is slightly uncomfortable. "No Pain, No Gain" is not a motto we work to! Our massage treatments are progressive to aid relaxation before the techniques involve deeper pressure. You will be in complete control of the level that is used, so please communicate this with us!
