Signal to strength,
in four moves

01 Read the body

Every first session starts with an assessment, because where it hurts and what is causing it are often two different places. We look at how you move: rotation, extension, range side to side, and what your work and training week actually looks like. It takes about fifteen minutes and it determines everything that follows.

02 Release the restriction

Targeted soft tissue treatment on the tissue the assessment identified. Deep tissue work, trigger point release, myofascial technique and assisted stretching, in whatever combination the findings justify. Pressure is set with you, not applied to you, and firm should never mean bracing through it.

03 Rebuild the pattern

Range you do not load is range you lose. So the session ends with two or three specific pieces of movement or strength work, matched to what we found and to the time you realistically have. Two things done four times a week beats twelve things done once.

04 Return stronger

Then the practical part. What changes at your desk, in your car, in your training week. Progress is reviewed against the assessment numbers from session one, so improvement is something we can point at rather than something we assume.

Your first session, start to finish

• Before. A few questions when you book, so nothing is a surprise on the day.
• Arrival. Couch set up in your space, roughly two metres by one metre of floor needed.
• First fifteen minutes. Questions and movement assessment.
• Next forty to forty five. Treatment, with the reasoning explained as we go if you want it.
• Last ten. Your two or three takeaways, and what to expect over the next forty eight hours.
• After. Mild tenderness for a day or two is normal. Water, movement, and nothing heroic in the gym that evening.

What we will not do

Diagnose. Promise a fix in one session. Sell a block of ten before knowing whether three will do it. If something looks like it needs a GP or a physiotherapist, you will be told plainly and pointed in that direction.
