Sports injury assessment

At Vitality Vault, I provide comprehensive sports injury assessments to accurately diagnose the problem. By conducting a detailed evaluation of your symptoms and physical condition, I can identify the root cause of your pain. This process includes a thorough history of your activity levels and previous injuries, as well as specific tests to assess your range of motion and strength. With this information, I can devise a tailored treatment plan that not only addresses the immediate issue but also helps prevent future injuries, enabling you to return to your sport stronger than before.

Rehabilitation programmes

My rehabilitation programmes are designed to support your recovery from injuries sustained during sports activities or daily life. Each programme is customised based on your specific injury and goals. I incorporate a variety of techniques, including exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as strategies to enhance pain management. Regular assessments and adjustments to your programme ensure that you're progressing effectively toward your recovery goals. I aim to help you regain your confidence and swiftly resume your normal activities, fostering a sustainable, pain-free lifestyle.

Manual therapy

I utilise manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain and restore function to your muscles and joints. This hands-on approach includes various methods such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and myofascial release. By applying targeted pressure and movements, I can release tension and improve circulation, promoting healing and flexibility. Manual therapy can be particularly beneficial for athletes recovering from injuries or individuals experiencing chronic pain. My aim is to offer immediate relief while also encouraging long-term improvements in your overall mobility and well-being.

Exercise prescription

At Vitality Vault, I provide tailored exercise prescriptions that focus on your individual needs and goals. Whether you are aiming to recover from an injury, improve your fitness level, or enhance your athletic performance, I will design a programme that suits you. The exercises I prescribe will not only help you regain strength and mobility but also promote injury prevention. I prioritise education and motivation throughout our sessions, empowering you to take an active role in your recovery and overall health journey.

Sports massage therapy

Sports massage therapy plays a crucial role in your training and recovery process. At Vitality Vault, I offer specialised massage techniques aimed at alleviating muscle tension, reducing soreness, and enhancing flexibility. This therapy is perfect for athletes looking to optimise performance and prevent injuries as it prepares the body for strenuous activities and aids recovery afterwards. By improving circulation and promoting relaxation in your muscles, sports massage not only helps you feel better physically but also mentally prepares you for your next challenge.

Gait analysis

Gait analysis is an essential service I provide at Vitality Vault, focusing on the biomechanics of your walking or running patterns. Understanding how you move can reveal underlying issues that may lead to injuries or discomfort. Using advanced techniques, I assess your gait and identify any irregularities. This allows me to develop appropriate interventions, which may include custom exercise programmes or recommendations for footwear. By addressing these issues, I aim to enhance your performance and prevent potential injuries in your athletic pursuits.

Therapeutic ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a modality I use at Vitality Vault to promote tissue healing and relieve pain. The ultrasound machine emits sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues, increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. This treatment is particularly effective for soft tissue injuries, tendonitis, and joint issues. I incorporate therapeutic ultrasound into my treatment plans to accelerate recovery, enhance the efficacy of other therapies, and help you return to your regular activities or sports as quickly and safely as possible.

Kinesiology taping

Kinesiology taping is another effective technique I utilise at Vitality Vault to support your muscles and joints throughout the healing process. This method involves applying a specialised tape to the skin, which helps to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and enhance mobility. The tape is designed to mimic the elasticity of human skin, allowing for a natural range of motion while providing support. I incorporate kinesiology taping in conjunction with other therapies to optimise recovery and prevent further injuries, ensuring that you can continue to pursue your activities with confidence.

Nutritional advice for athletes

Nutrition plays a vital role in an athlete's performance and recovery. At Vitality Vault, I offer personalised nutritional advice tailored to your specific needs and goals. I can guide you on optimal dietary choices that will fuel your training, enhance recovery, and support your overall health. Understanding the importance of macronutrients and micronutrients, I aim to educate you on how to maintain a balanced diet that aligns with your athletic aspirations. This holistic approach ensures that you are not only physically fit but also properly nourished to support your activity levels.

Spa Massages

In addition to my sports therapy services, I also offer spa massages at Vitality Vault for relaxation and stress relief. These soothing treatments are designed to promote overall well-being, providing you with an opportunity to unwind and recharge. Whether you're an athlete needing recovery after a rigorous regimen or someone looking to de-stress, my spa massages offer a luxurious escape. Incorporating various techniques, the massages will relieve tension, improve circulation, and leave you feeling rejuvenated. I believe in the importance of self-care within your fitness journey, and spa massages can be a key part of that.
