Amatsu Therapy

Amatsu is a Japanese form of physical therapy that takes a holistic approach to health, aiming to restore balance within the body. It works with soft tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints, supporting improved movement and function.

It is based on the principle that both physical strain and the stresses of everyday life can influence the body over time, leading to compensatory patterns, tension and dysfunction. These patterns may arise following injury, trauma or prolonged stress, and can contribute to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, headaches, migraines, TMJ dysfunction and musculoskeletal imbalances.

By addressing these underlying patterns, Amatsu aims to restore balance, improve alignment and support the body's natural ability to function efficiently and recover.

Counselling and Psychotherapy

Counselling is a talking therapy and is a way to discuss issues and problems in a positive environment. There are a number of issues that counselling can help with such as mental health conditions, distressing events and upsetting life events. Therapy can help you to gain a better understanding of your feelings and help you to find a solution to your problems.

Counselling aims to provide you with a honest, warm and real relationship aiming to establish a safe non-judgemental environment where you can feel confident that you and your concerns are being heard and you are given a space for self-exploration and  a chance to enhance self-awareness and confidence.

The relationship is based on trust and truth and your counsellor will see the world through your eyes and help you to make sense of it in your own time and space.

The process is bound by confidentiality, limits thereof and boundaries which have been agreed between both parties.

Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy and Naturopathic Medicine looks at more than just food. The discipline interprets the nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism and how these can be used to restore health and improve immunity. 

Nutritional Therapy considers food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. More recently developments in genetic testing allow for more in-depth diagnostic tools for practitioners.

Many bodily functions can be compromised at any age through various forms of stress (e.g. foetal development before birth, caesarean sections, work, familial, relationships, environmental factors).

The discipline considers people as individuals and understanding how food, herbs, genetics and natural medicine techniques such a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Homeopathy, and Iridology (analysis of the genetic footprint in the iris) can heal us.

Sports Massage

Sports massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue in the body to help those regularly engage in physical activity. Soft tissue includes the skin, muscle, tendons and ligaments. Strenuous activity will impact this soft tissue, and sports massage helps to correct these issues. As such sports massage can prevent injuries, improve performance and help the recovery process.

Milia Removal

Milia are small, white cysts commonly referred to as 'milk spots' and are often mistaken for whiteheads. Unlike acne, milia are formed by a build up of keratin, a natural protein found in skin, hair and nails, which becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. 

Treatment Method

Milia removal is carried out using a fine, sterile needle. After a thoroughly cleansed skin,the needle is inserted into the surface of the milia to create a tiny opening. The contents are then carefully extracted with precision to minimise trauma to the surrounding skin. 

Following treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or mildly inflamed. This is a normal response and will settle quickly. A very small scab may occur within a couple of days and will naturally fall away as the skin heals.

Soprano Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a quick procedure which uses powerful laser energy to prevent hair growth. It works by emitting a laser that passes harmlessly through the client's skin and into the hair follicle. The targeted hair follicle is then heated and damaged, thereby inhibiting any future hair growth.

Some clients might feel a mild prickling sensation but the majority experience pain-free laser treatment.

We carry out a consultation and patch test on the skin, which allows us to check to see if your skin is suitable for laser.  A small area is tested to ensure that there are no adverse reactions. The skin may appear slightly red straight after the patch test, however this calms down very quickly.

Laser works best on hair growth that is dark and coarse. Popular areas to treat are the face, legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. Treatments can take between 5 to 8 sessions.

Osteopathy And The Perrin Technique

Osteopathic treatment is based on the principle that no part of the body exists in isolation and that the primary focus on the musculoskeletal system (the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues) is a key component of overall health and wellbeing. Osteopaths believe that for your body to work well, its structure must also work well, for the aim of the treatment is to restore the body into a state of balance. 

Osteopathic diagnosis involves examining muscles and joints using touch, observing posture and the patient's range of movements to detect and diagnose any abnormalities within the musculoskeletal system. Osteopathy treatment includes a combination of muscle and connective tissue stretching, joint articulation, gentle traction and manipulation, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, cranial techniques, exercise and postural advice depending on what the individual requires.

Medical Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture, also known as “Western medical acupuncture” or “dry needling” is the use of sterile, single-use acupuncture needles to reduce pain. This is different from traditional Eastern approaches to acupuncture. Current understandings around how this treatment works are rooted in the neurophysiological science of how the brain interprets pain. The use of acupuncture in this way may also reduce local tension in muscles and increase circulation to the affected area which speeds up the healing process.

The process involves pre-sterilisation of the skin before very fine needles are inserted using a special guide tube. This, as well as the acupuncturist's skill at needle insertion ensures that the process is as painless as possible. Some patients feel nothing at all during the needle insertion, however the most common sensation reported seems to be a form of “dull heaviness” felt locally at the area of treatment. Acupuncture often works well alongside other forms of physical therapy, such as osteopathy and exercise prescription.

Radial Shockwave Therapy

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response in injured or painful soft tissues. A STORZ Medical radial shockwave system is used to deliver controlled energy to affected areas, supporting tissue repair, improving circulation and reducing pain in chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

The mechanical energy from shockwave therapy increases local blood flow, stimulates cellular activity and promotes the regeneration of tendons, muscles and fascia that have become overloaded or degenerative.

It is particularly effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis and golfer's elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy and other persistent soft tissue injuries.

How many treatments are necessary?

In general an average between 3-6 treatments are necessary, carried out at weekly intervals.

Possible symptoms:

• Redness
• Numbness,
• Pain/mild discomfort,
• Mild Swelling
