Soft Tissue Therapy & Sports Massage
Soft Tissue Therapy (STT) is a hands-on treatment designed to help reduce muscle tension, aches & pains, and improve your body’s musculoskeletal health
A Soft Tissue Therapist treats everyone from athletes to the sedentary & seasoned citizens to adolescents. A soft tissue therapist works with your muscles, ligaments, and nervous system to ensure your quick recovery.
What happens during an Soft Tissue Therapy appointment?
A Soft Tissue Therapist will take time to listen and ask a few easy questions about your pain. Then they’ll gently check how you move, conducting a few simple tests.
After that, they will explain and provide a diagnosis, inform you of your treatment options, and tell you how long your diagnosis should take to heal.
What STT can help with
Back and neck pain
Shoulder, elbow, hip, knee,
and ankle problemsSports and activity-related injuries
Persistent or recurring pain
Stiffness and reduced mobility
Postural or movement-related issues
What to expect from treatment
If you’ve seen a Soft Tissue Therapist before, some of the treatment may feel familiar. We use gentle massage, light joint movements and sometimes quicker techniques to help calm the uncomfortable area.
To top it all off, we work with a prevention mindset. Our Soft Tissue Therapists will work with you to help build a plan to stop your pain coming back.
STT training & governance
For your peace of mind, we’re committed to professional development, high ethical standards of practice & research. Our STT are members of The Association for Soft Tissue Therapists (SMA). They follow evidence based research, high ethical standards, and the code of conduct set out by the SMA to raise the standard of care since 2002.

“After suffering from hip pain for 5 years, it had finally reached a stage where it was effecting my daily life. I was considering a hip replacement when I heard about Formby Clinic from a friend and am so glad I booked an appointment with Sam. I’m now walking pain free and feel stronger than ever!”
It took Sue to go from considering a total hip replacement, to being pain free and back hiking the hills.
