Open for Essential Healthcare

Springhead Sports Massage is still open to provide face-to-face appointments, where there is a health need such as the specific treatment of injury or pain. Appointments and treatment need to be agreed after an online screening and consultation process.

Massage Therapy, or Soft Tissue Therapy as it is also known, uses evidence-based practice which integrates traditional hands-on techniques and exercise-based rehabilitation to treat musculoskeletal injuries and pain. We are a primary source of healthcare for people with minor and chronic injuries which, in its own small way, takes some pressure off the NHS.

As well as massage, we are trained to assess minor injuries, which we treat using a variety of soft tissue techniques and offer guidance for rehabilitation. We also provide symptom management for other long-term conditions.

During Lockdown 1 we remained closed throughout (along with all other “Close Contact Services”). Being able to treat people in need during this second lockdown is a step in the right direction towards being recognised for the important health service that we provide.
