Chris Sherville

Chris took 2 years out to successfully complete a BTEC level 5 qualification in Soft Tissue Therapy.

STT is the assessment, treatment and on-going care of soft tissue injuries or discomfort, through massage, muscle energy techniques, sort tissue release and exercise programs.

The following conditions can be treated effectively with Soft Tissue Therapy.

Muscle and tendon injuries

Injuries caused by overuse

Lower back pain

Neck and shoulder pain

Tension headaches

Tennis/golfer’s elbow

Frozen shoulder

ITB syndrome

Sciatica

Massage, whether deep tissue, sports or therapeutic, is used to treat muscle pain, injury and stiffness, but it has proven value in relaxation and the reduction of stress, anxiety and the body/mind connection. It increases immune function, releases oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins and helps to reduce cortisol.

Chris enjoys working with colleagues in the practice to work with their clients and help with long term maintenance.

Chris also holds a certificate of safe practice for ear wax removal using micro-suction and warm water irrigation with electronically controlled, low pressure, warm water jet as the modern replacement for syringing.
