About
When I experienced a dislocated shoulder, the only treatment which really helped my pain and discomfort was soft tissue therapy. I was able to regain full movement and confidence to do the things I really enjoy doing, especially lifting heavy weights!
I was so impressed by the results and the help I was given, I decided to retrain as a Soft Tissue Therapist. I wanted to be the best possible therapist and pushed myself by attending the prestigious Oxford School of Sports Massage, graduating with a Level 5 Diploma, the highest level possible, in Sports and Remedial Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy.
I love that every body is different, which is why I’m committed to creating a personalised massage for each of my client’s needs in Chipping Norton and the surrounding area. I make sure that you’ll leave every treatment feeling rejuvenated and ready to progress your goals.
Soft Tissue Therapy / Sports Massage
Soft tissue therapy is much more than a sports massage. This is a fantastic, effective treatment if you’re suffering from a specific injury or niggle, whether that be from sitting at a computer all day giving you neck pain or if you’ve just taken up a new sport and are experiencing back pain. We look at the whole body to assess what is causing the issue and treat accordingly.
This should not be a brutal experience as it can often be perceived to be. I work with you to ensure you’re comfortable to get the most effective results and ultimately leave you feeling more relaxed than when you entered the clinic.
Deep Tissue Massage
Generally ache all over and in need of some rejuvenation? This treatment is for you. I use firm pressure over a larger area to provide a thorough treatment to leave you feeling less tense, more flexible and to help prevent against future injury. This is perfect for those who may be seated for long periods of time at work, stressed or may have recently taken up or regularly training for sport.
I work with towels to keep you warm, comfortable and to ensure modesty is maintained at all times.

Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling)
Medical Acupuncture, also known as Dry Needling, is the use of very fine needles to treat specific areas of pain or tension within the muscles of the body. The use of Medical Acupuncture utilises an approach used to treat the structure and function of the body based on anatomy and physiology in a different way to Traditional Chinese Acupuncture.
Medical Acupuncture in clinic in Chipping Norton works to create an interaction between the body and central nervous system and can reduce muscle tension and pain.
Consent, medical history and treatment strategy will all be considered before utilising Medical Acupuncture and can be included at no extra cost in the treatment time.
Dry Cupping
I use Korean suction cups which create a negative (de-compressive) pressure to lift, separate and stretch underlying soft tissues. They promote blood, oxygen and nutrient flow to an area which can help treat pain, improve mobility and movement. Many patients feel the ‘release’ benefits immediately during treatment.
Consent, medical history and treatment strategy will all be considered before utilising Cupping and can be included at no extra cost in the treatment time.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage utilises smooth volcanic stones, typically alongside other rhythmic, deep and long strokes of the accompanying massage. Hot stones help ease muscle tension, promotes endorphin release, dilates blood capillaries and boosts the flow of nutrient rich blood to tight muscles, ligaments and fascia, encouraging deep relaxation. It also just feels very lovely!
Consent, medical history and treatment strategy will all be considered before utilising Hot Stones and can be included at no extra cost in the treatment time. Please specify in your pre-treatment consultation form if you would like to include Hot Stones as part of your treatment.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)
Designed to assist with your soft tissue therapy treatment for musculoskeletal immobility and pain. IASTM addresses soft tissue restriction, initiates healing mechanisms and stimulates mechanical receptors which create favourable changes in movement and pain.
At Elevate in Chipping Norton, I utilise RockBlades which engage the myofacial tissue by creating tension and shear – creating both a mechanical and neurological effect to the system.
Consent, medical history and treatment strategy will all be considered before utilising IASTM and can be included at no extra cost in the treatment time.
Free yourself from pain; recover from injury faster. Helping you achieve better quality and quantity of movement.
