Injury Recovery Massage for Workhouse Hill Clients
If you're recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain from Workhouse Hill, Fiona's remedial approach can make a real difference. Rather than a feel-good massage, remedial therapy is targeted work aimed at solving the underlying issue. Fiona assesses which muscles are tight, which are weak, which are compensating for damage elsewhere, and which are protective (holding tension because something nearby is injured). Over 25 years of work with athletes recovering from competition injuries and desk workers managing chronic issues means she knows how to approach each kind of problem. Workhouse Hill clients find that real recovery takes sessions, but the progress is often visible within three or four.
