How do I book an IDD session?
If you have had pain for more than three months and are unsure what treatment option might be best for you, we offer a free 15 minute consultation where you can better understand your options.
There is no obligation to have treatment.
Clinic Director Oliver Hicks says:
“Certain patients require something more for their pain than we can provide with just manual therapy and exercise. I became interested in the possibilities of IDD Therapy and trying the treatment myself and talking to colleagues, saw how it could help me better serve patients in my community.
The addition of IDD Therapy has meant that we can help more patients get off pain medications, avoid invasive treatments and get their life back.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Deep tissue massage
A deep tissue massage aims to alleviate knots and tension deep within the muscles. This usually involves targeted firm pressure to help reduce the tightness sensation that can occur when muscles “knot” or “cramp” following physical exertion.
Myofascial release
The fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds our organs, with myofascial tissues connecting and supporting our muscles. Myofascial release therapy is a targeted manual therapy specifically aimed to reduce swelling and tightness that can be present inside these connective tissues. It can be used to increase mobility.
Stretching
Stretching is a common technique used in sports massage. It uses the body’s own movement to reduce tension, increase flexibility and promote a wider range of mobility. Stretches may include individual movements and exercises or assisted movements targeting specific points of tightness or injury.

What is a sports massage?
A sports massage is a type of massage therapy, typically aimed at individuals who lead athletic lifestyles. It is a therapy that focuses on muscle manipulation, deep tissue massage techniques and stretching. A sports massage can target specific points of injury, prepare the body for a specific physical challenge such as a sports competition, or provide post-event care for tightness and aching muscles after a long workout. Our sports massages are specially designed to suit an individual's needs, whether they are in a specific stage of training or are in injury rehabilitation.
You don’t have to be athletic or even lead an active lifestyle to benefit from a sports massage. The techniques our massage therapists use are designed to reduce the stress from everyday life, using manual therapies to help you decrease tension by increasing mobility, blood flow and overall physical health.
