I
have always had a keen interest in sport and as a result decided to
study Sport Injury Therapy at the Institute of Massage & Sports
Therapy where I qualified as a Sports Injury Therapist with a Diploma
in Sports Injury Therapy & Sports Equipment. I have also completed
a course in Core Training which is used in my Rehabilitation programs
and I am currently furthering my studies with a course in Advanced
Functional Rehabilitation.
Sports Injury Massage - Darren MacFarlane
What is Sports Therapy?
Sports
Therapy is a hands on manual therapy that caters for clients who have
acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain. All treatment comes with a
postural assessment and an individual exercise protocol for complete
recovery. It uses a combination of Soft Tissue Work, Mobilisations,
Massage with Movement, Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage, and
Stretching Techniques to address your problem.
Conditions Treated:
I
can help you with: back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder tension,
whiplash, rotator cuff syndrome, frozen shoulder, carpel tunnel, tennis
and golfers elbow, knee joint and knee ligament injuries, ankle
sprains, shin splints, tendonitis and postural problems. What can you expect from a Treatment Session?
I
offer a professional, personal and confidential service designed to
meet your specific condition. Individual treatment plans are
specifically developed to suit you. I cater for all aspects of pain and
injury management that can occur in your daily or sporting life as well
as offering expertise in preventing and managing your injury.
At
your first session I will take an extensive history, this is then
followed by functional assessments and Specific Tests may be carried
out. The history taking and functional assessments are essential in
order for me to accurately diagnose the problem and your Treatment will
be based on the diagnosis. The remainder of the session involves
treatment. Follow up sessions involve more treatment and less
assessment. You will also be responsible in aiding your recover through
home care exercises.
