Soft tissue occupational therapy
Our clients benefit from less pain and muscle tension. This improves day-to-day functioning at home and work both physically and mentally.
Clients report a greater capacity to build resilience and manage life’s stressors, clearer thinking, a decrease in niggling pain and a capacity to achieve satisfaction with tasks. This can enhance quality of life and enables people to continue to do what they love with less pain.
