Targeted care to ease pain, restore movement, and support recovery.
Sports massage should not simply mean applying deep pressure to wherever it hurts. At Musculus, treatment starts by understanding your symptoms, relevant history, activity and goals.
Where appropriate, this may include movement, range-of-motion, musculoskeletal or neurological assessment before treatment is selected.
Musculus works with competitive athletes, gym users and runners, but also with manual workers, office workers and people dealing with everyday muscular discomfort or restricted movement. You do not need to be sporty to benefit from an individual sports massage approach.
People commonly visit for muscular tension or soreness, restricted or uncomfortable movement, training and exercise recovery, gym-related muscular problems, persistent tightness, support when returning to activity, and work or lifestyle-related muscular discomfort.
At Musculus, you won’t simply receive the same routine as the person who came in before you.
Your appointment starts with understanding what is bothering you, how it affects you and what you want to achieve. Where appropriate, relevant assessment helps guide what happens next.
Treatment is then tailored to you. That might mean sports massage alone, or it may involve techniques such as dry needling, cupping, IASTM, kinesiology taping, mobility work or rehabilitation where they genuinely add something useful.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE APPROACH
ADVANCED LEVEL 5 ASSESSMENT. Musculoskeletal, neurological and neurodynamic assessment can be used where relevant rather than automatically assuming every problem is simply a tight muscle.
A WIDER TREATMENT TOOLBOX. Sports massage remains at the heart of Musculus, supported by additional techniques when appropriate.
TREATMENT THAT HAS A REASON. Techniques are not added simply because they are available. We assess, treat and, where useful, reassess to see whether anything meaningful has changed.
TRAINING & REHABILITATION KNOWLEDGE. A background in strength training, personal training and exercise allows treatment to connect with movement, rehabilitation and return to activity where needed.
STRAIGHTFORWARD, EVIDENCE-INFORMED CARE. No promises of miracle cures, no unnecessary treatment and no pretending massage is the answer to everything. If something needs assessment outside my professional scope, I’ll tell you.
ASSESS. We discuss what is happening, when it started, what affects it and what you want to achieve. Where useful, relevant movement or physical testing may follow.
TREAT. Treatment is selected around your individual presentation rather than automatically applying the same routine to everybody.
REASSESS. Where we have established something useful to compare, movement, function or symptoms can be checked again after treatment.
PLAN. Where appropriate, you receive straightforward mobility, exercise, rehabilitation or self-management advice.
Sports massage remains at the heart of Musculus. Additional techniques are available when they add something useful to the treatment plan.
