Sports Therapy aims to alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity.

Our Sports Therapists can offer a full injury assessment and have various treatment options available.

Sports massage tends to be a deeper and more focused massage, and often incorporates a combination of others techniques involving stretching, toning, trigger points therapy, cupping or instrument assisted releases. The pressure can always be tailored to you and your preferences.

Injury rehabilitation may also include a bespoke rehab programme designed for your specific injury or to aid your recovery, for example, after surgery.

This treatment is not just for the sports person, anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious strains of daily life (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries).

The main goal of therapy is to bring optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries using a host of approaches alone or in combination.

Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a revolutionary non-invasive technology used to treat painful and resistant tendon (and other) problems. The treatment involves powerful acoustic shockwaves passing through the skin to the affected area. Shockwave therapy can be very successful in patients who have failed to respond to conservative treatment of tendon pain. It will form the important first step to restoring strength in a degenerate tendon and returning to improved function.

As we get used to the processes and procedures with the new shockwave device, we are offering it great value prices.
We can also offer packages that offer a discount for purchasing 3 treatments. To purchase a package you must speak to our receptionist. Payment in full in advance is required.

How does ESWT work?
The shockwaves that are produced by the machine are generated by compressed air inside a hand-held applicator. When the applicator is placed on the surface of the skin the impulses are delivered through the skin as a shockwave that spreads inside the injured tissue as a ‘radial’ wave. These radial shockwaves initiate an inflammation-like response in the injured tissue that is being treated. This prompts the body to respond naturally by increasing blood circulation, the number of blood vessels and therefore metabolism in the injured tissue. This accelerates the body’s natural healing process by increasing cell generation and dissolving calcium deposits.

Scientific studies have shown shockwave can effectively:·
Reduce pain in tendon and bone tissue·
Increase blood flow to bone-tendon junctions
Regulate cellular inflammation
Increase activity and health of bone and tendon cells
Conditions recommended for treatment with ESWT

Calcific Tendonitis Shoulder
Trochanteric Bursitis (lateral hip pain)
Patella Tendinopathy
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow
Achilles Tendinopathy
Plantar Fascitis
Medial Tibial Periostitis (shin splints)

Most conditions respond within three to five treatments, performed at weekly intervals (ideally 6-10 days apart); on your first visit you will be assessed and if it is safe to do so, you will receive your first shockwave therapy session . Each treatment session takes about 20 minutes.

The term holistic therapies encompasses a wide range of complementary therapies. Currently we are offering sound therapy and Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of energy through the practitioner's hands to the recipient's body. It is based on the belief that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. When this energy is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and when it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki aims to balance this energy, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being. It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments.

Sound therapy is a holistic healing practice that uses vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The sounds and frequencies produced by these instruments are believed to help reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and promote relaxation. By stimulating the body's natural healing processes, sound therapy aims to restore balance and harmony within the body. It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments, providing a non-invasive and soothing approach to healing. Many people find sound therapy to be a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Sound has always been at the heart of Laura’s life, both as a powerful tool for personal healing and as a creative medium. Her journey into holistic practices began with Reiki and later deepened after experiencing lower back issues and sciatic pain, which were treated at Equilibrium by Anna. That personal healing journey led her back to holistic therapy and ultimately to qualify as a sound therapist.

She is particularly fascinated by the way sound waves affect the body and mind, and this curiosity shapes both her therapeutic work and her creative practice. Alongside her therapy sessions, she is deeply involved in experimental sound and music projects, exploring rhythm, tone, and texture as ways of shifting states of consciousness.

In sessions, Laura blends traditional therapeutic instruments with unique sonic elements to create a deeply immersive experience. She believes that sound offers the space and quiet we often don’t find in daily life; an opportunity to slow down, release stress and tension, ease physical discomfort and pain and allow the body and mind to gently restore themselves. Her aim is always to hold a safe, nurturing space where people can return to greater balance, clarity and ease.

Ellie first became interested in chiropractic after receiving treatment from Anna as a teenager! She was suffering from chronic back pain and whiplash following a road traffic accident. She had lower back pain and neck pain with headaches that no amount of stretching or painkillers could get on top of. A couple of sessions later and feeling much better, an idea was born; Ellie decided this was the career she wanted to pursue. Upon graduation Ellie was fortunate enough to be offered an Associate position at an award-winning teaching clinic in Aberdeenshire. The owner of the clinic had a special interest in pregnancy and paediatrics and in fact taught many courses on these subjects. Ellie was able to gain valuable experience in treating many people, not just the pregnant and paediatric populations. She has seen a variety of people, ages and conditions. Her youngest patient was 2 days old with her eldest being 92 years! She has since completed a further degree gaining a Masters in Paediatric Musculoskeletal Health and graduating with a distinction. Ellie is excited to be back to her home county, treating and getting to know the local community. We are absolutely delighted to welcome her back to where her journey started.
