Conditions Treated with Myofascial Release

Tight or constricted muscles can reduce your mobility and cause pain. Myofascial release helps by making these muscles looser, allowing you to move more freely and without pain. It’s effective for various conditions, including:

Muscle tightness
Limited movement
Pain in muscles

After Your Myofascial Release Session

You might feel a bit warm or tender in the treated area right after your session. This is normal and shows that the treatment is working by increasing blood flow to help heal your muscles. Most people report feeling less pain and stiffness in the days following their treatment.

Our Approach

At Compass and Trim Physio, we mainly use our hands for massage and myofascial release, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment. We might also use other techniques like cupping or dry needling to support your healing process.

Types Of Massage

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage works the soft tissues and muscles to help restore health and create a calming and balancing effect on the nervous system. With techniques such as stroking, gliding, kneading, and tapping, it is designed to improve circulation, soothe muscles, and promote relaxation. This gentle approach is perfect for those seeking relief from back pain without a deep massage.

Reflexology

Reflexology focuses on applying precise pressure to specific points on the feet that correspond to various organs and systems in the body. This therapy improves circulation, balances the body’s systems, induces deep relaxation, and aids in toxin removal. Reflexology also helps with structural and cellular fascia movements and can reduce adhesions from previous injuries, increasing joint mobility.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage combines the soothing effects of traditional massage with the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. This deeply relaxing treatment boosts the immune system, promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and helps de-stress the body and mind. Tailored essential oils enhance your ability to unwind, providing a comprehensive sense of calm and clarity.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that relieves compression in the head, sacrum, and spine. Using light pressure, it normalizes cerebrospinal fluid flow, aiding the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy is ideal for treating migraines, neck pain, sleep disturbances, and trauma recovery, making it suitable for individuals of all ages.

Myoskeletal-Fascial Therapy

This therapy is designed to relieve chronic pain, prevent injuries, and align the body’s musculoskeletal system. By manipulating the skeletal system, muscles, and fascia, it helps reduce pain, increase mobility, and improve overall body function. Myoskeletal-Fascial Therapy is especially beneficial for those experiencing back pain and posture-related issues.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is tailored to athletes and active individuals, focusing on muscle recovery, pain reduction, and injury prevention. Techniques include pre-event stimulation to enhance performance and post-event recovery to reduce lactic acid buildup. This massage is ideal for maintaining mobility, improving recovery times, and extending athletic performance.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues using slow, sustained pressure. This technique is effective for breaking up scar tissue, relieving tension, and improving stiffness. It is particularly beneficial for chronic muscle pain and specific areas such as the lower back and glutes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick did a super job diagnosing my injury correctly. Not only did his work help cure it but he set me on a pathway for general strengthening exercises. He showed me some useful and doable exercises and I'm feeling so much better than I did a few months ago. Often it takes just the right person with the right attitude to help you get started. Many thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Patrick, I had reason to visit Compass Physio a few months ago. My right knee and left foot needed attention. Sarah Jane diagnosed the injuries and gave me rehab exercises. I attended four times at two week intervals. The injuries were assessed, progress noted and exercises were upgraded on each visit. Then Sarah Jane was happy I could progress without any further visits. She gave me a number of exercises to continue doing. I was very satisfied with the professional service. Sarah Jane was excellent at diagnosing the weaknesses and prescribing the most suitable rehab exercises. I’m grateful for the ongoing exercises and limbs are improving. I recommend Compass Physio most highly. Kind regards, Eamonn
