Massage
Pin Point Sports Therapies & Massage offers a variety of massage services including deep tissue and sports, therapeutic and relaxation.
​
By manipulating both the muscles and soft tissue of the fascia with pressure from the hands, therapeutic and relaxation massage can assist in the relief of chronic tension, anxiety and stress, relief from pain and discomfort in the physical body, improve blood circulation, decrease fluid retention, aid with mental and physical fatigue, and increase the flexibility in the joints. Therapeutic and relaxation massage is both relaxing and enjoyable and it promotes not only good health but also a happy soul!
​
Deep tissue and sports massage will assist sore muscles either through sporting injuries or from constriction as a result of stress, thus enabling joint mobilisation, particularly around the neck and shoulder areas. Hayley also specialises in tendon release and sciatic nerve problems.​
Cupping
What is myofascial cupping and how does it work?
​
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up underlying tissues such as the fascia (connective tissue ) and muscles, blood and other fluid, close to the surface of the skin. Myofascial cupping is typically applied on the back, shoulder, neck, sacrum, hip, abdomen, legs and arms.
Using massage techniques, areas of muscular restriction and tension are located and myofascial cupping techniques are then applied by moving the cups in a gliding motion over the surface of the skin or, where fascial adhesion and trigger points are found, the cups may be left on specific areas for short periods of time to reduce or eliminate those adhesions or trigger points. Cupping therapy is still very effective even if the cups are not left in place for very long.
Most manual techniques are based on compression of the muscles and other tissues, such as deep tissue techniques, soft tissue mobilisation and joint mobilisation techniques, whereas myofascial cupping works by creating suction of the cup to produce negative pressure or tensile stress that causes dilatation and capillary rupture; this is what creates the reddish-coloured circles called ecchymosis or bruising, and the lasting effect of this is what is typically seen to be therapeutically beneficial. Cupping works by stimulating inhibitory neural pathways, altering pain thresholds, promoting blood circulation, relieving swelling and increasing tissue temperature. The myofascial cupping technique reduces discomfort in the target tissues and has been shown in multiple scientific research studies that it has a good effect in relieving chronic pain and consequently improving a patient's quality of life.
Strapping

Blading (IASTM)
RockBlades/mohawk/mygrip are a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM). This is a technique that has been around for thousands of years where tools such as spoons or coins were used to scrape the body’s soft tissue.
Rockblades were developed by RockTape – a well-known company that produces kinesiology tape worn by many athletes. They are used as part of a treatment plan, alongside massage therapy techniques.
The tools (Mallet, Mullet and the Mohawk) comprise of a variety of different edges and shapes, which can be used to scan soft tissues for any areas of alteration in the soft tissue. The tool offers a very different form of tissue mobilisation to using the hands and can be extremely light and gentle in painful areas, or areas requiring injury rehabilitation.
The application of these tools can:​
• Help improve muscle function
• Help improve performance
• Help to eliminate pain
