James Barford

I qualified with a Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage from the London School of Sports Massage in

March 2013. Since then I have added numerous developmental courses on different techniques and types of massage and

non massage based therapies including a recent qualification in dry-needling.

I’m always looking to gain knowledge and improve my ability to treat most Soft Tissue problems:

• Sprains and Strains of muscles, ligaments and tendons.

• Tired and stiff muscles

• Neck and Back Pain including Sciatic type symptoms

• Repetitive Strain Injuries

• Postural Issues

• Tennis or Golfers Elbow

• Pain in all joints, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle

Soft Tissue Therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons. It can be used to treat:

• Occupational tightness, imbalances, stress or pain caused by long hours sitting or at a desk/​computer.

• Promoting effective physical and mental recovery from exercise or work.

• Mitigating against risk of injury.

• As part of a rehabilitation programme to return to daily active lifestyle or sport.

• Preparation for an important gym or sport based training session.

• Periodisation of STT to complement your training programme for competition or work event.

• Post-operative scar work to improve soft tissue mobility and function.
