Massage & Alternative Therapies
Massage Therapy
At FMK Physiotherapy & Health, we understand that each individual’s path to healing is unique. That’s why we offer a range of therapeutic treatments beyond traditional physiotherapy. Our additional therapies are designed to complement and enhance your overall well-being, providing you with a holistic approach to healing and recovery.
Explore the following therapies we offer
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective technique used to relieve muscle pain and improve joint mobility. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight bands of muscle. By targeting these areas, dry needling helps release muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote natural healing responses in the body. Our skilled therapists will assess your condition and incorporate dry needling into your treatment plan as appropriate.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is particularly beneficial for chronic pain, postural issues, and muscle imbalances. Our skilled therapists apply firm pressure and slow strokes to reach the underlying tissues, releasing tension and promoting healing. Deep tissue massage can help alleviate chronic pain, improve flexibility, and restore balance to your body.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create a suction effect. This therapy has been used for centuries to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve blood circulation. At FMK Physiotherapy & Health, we offer cupping therapy as an additional treatment option to support your overall well-being.
During a cupping session, cups are placed on specific areas of your body. The cups create a vacuum seal, drawing your skin and underlying tissues upward. This gentle suction stimulates blood flow, relaxes muscles, and helps to release toxins and stagnation from the body.
Cupping therapy can be beneficial for various conditions, including muscle tension, chronic pain, respiratory problems, and stress-related ailments. It can also complement your physiotherapy treatment by enhancing circulation and promoting faster recovery.
At FMK Physiotherapy & Health, we are committed to providing you with personalised care and an array of therapeutic options to suit your needs. Our dedicated therapists will work closely with you to understand your goals and tailor a treatment plan that incorporates these other therapies alongside physiotherapy/sports therapy. Experience the difference these therapies can make in your overall well-being.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a specialised therapy aimed at athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities. It focuses on optimising performance, preventing injuries, and aiding in recovery. Our qualified therapists employ various techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, and deep tissue massage to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports massage can help you achieve your physical goals.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage combines the benefits of massage therapy with the soothing warmth of smooth, heated stones. This therapy involves placing heated stones on specific points of your body while our therapists perform gentle strokes with their hands. The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, enhance blood flow, and alleviate tension. Indulge in the tranquil experience of hot stone massage, which provides deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
Andy Lamb I was suffering from sciatic nerve pain, back pain and pain in my knees. 4 sessions over the course of a few weeks with Lisa and I was 95% pain free - completing the exercises between sessions built the strength required to support the treatment in the sessions Lisa used a combination of massage, dry needling and ultra sound (I think 🤷) and managed to get me mobile and virtually niggle free The practice is friendly, clean and welcoming Highly recommend Mafi I regularly have Massage Therapies with Rachel and I can confidently say that she offers an incredible massage in a comfortable, warm and safe environment. To anyone looking for either a deep massage or a relaxing time, Chloé is the perfect choice. Kirsten Preuss Great experience after physio required to my back. Ellis is really friendly and has significantly improved my back after 3 sessions. Will return for regular massage but have no pain anymore. Very good service Guy Humpleby First time visitors at FMK. Ellis's attention, engagement and knowledge along with the facilities were first class, already planning a return visit 👍🙌 Bill Park I discovered this business through my daughter and on her recommendation, I booked a consultation with Johnny Farrell. The booking system is simple to use, including evening appointments. Johnny is very personable and thorough, and through his initial tests and checks, he was able to quickly identify the causes with both my back and also my shoulder. Treatment consisted of massages, stretching , acupuncture, dry needles into the muscles, all of which I might say, were painless. There seemed no end to what he had in his toolbox. At the end of each appointment he would explain the additional exercises to do at home that would help speed my recovery. All in all my experience with FMK Physiotherapy was a very positive one and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone Garry Smith Ellis was fantastic from giving me recovery exercises to giving me the treatment that I could continue running. A really nice lad with a very professional and polite manner too! Would definitely recommend! Keiran Stewart Can't recommend Johnny enough. Had treatment for a shoulder injury that I've been dealing with for years that docs weren't able to help much with after only a couple of sessions with Johnny he had it diagnosed and given me a solid treatment plan that's worked wonders. David Potts Very professional business, they do what they say they will do. Reminders sent on time and accommodate changes if necessary. Lisa, the physio, was excellent. Really knew her stuff, listened well and a good communicator. jack waller Very helpful, insightful and friendly service and only needed 3 appointments. I would highly recommend Johnny. Val Chatila Highly recommended Johnny for any physiotherapy needs. Convenient evening & Saturday appointments. Johnny has sorted out a problematic shoulder that I've had for many years. He took vast history & created a suitable and do-able exercise program with regular follow up appointments. Plan was tweaked as my muscles & tendons strengthened giving new exercises. He really knows his stuff! Since then I've been back with hamstring problems & most recently issues with thumb/wrist. Massage, heat therapy & acupuncture has helped massively. Johnny is a polite, professional and all round lovely guy. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 97 reviews
