Change of clinic hours 24 Oct – 11 Nov 2016

opening hours

Please be advised that IC Sports Therapies are changing our opening hours for the period Monday 24 October to Friday 11 November 2016.

The changed hours are in response to our reduced staffing levels, with our Principal Therapist  Nicki Cooke away, serving as a Team Therapist at the Indoor Cricket Masters World Series tournament in Birmingham. (You can keep up to date with the tournament with the 2016 WCIF Masters World Series – Live Streams!)

The continuing needs of our clients are being met by Jason, Colin and Lisa, our Physiotherapy, P.T. & Pilates, and Swedish Massage therapists.

Clinic hours

For the week of 24-28 October, our hours will be 8:00am – 5:00pm. Our phones will be answered by Steve, who will answer your enquiries and take your bookings.

For the period 31 October to 11 November, Steve will also be away, and our phones will be answered by Tia, who will take your booking for you. Our clinic will open as required for client bookings only.

Therapist hours

For the 3 weeks of amended hours, our therapists are available by appointment as follows:

  • Jason: Tuesday 9:00am – 6:00pm, and Thursday, 9:00am – 6:00pm
  • Colin: Wednesday Noon – 7:30pm, and Thursday 8:00am – 3:00pm
  • Lisa: Wednesday 12:30pm – 3:30pm, and Friday 9:00am – 6:00pm

Normal services will resume

From 14 November we will again have our full complement of staff, and will resume our normal opening hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday.

Please note that Nicki  is already two-thirds booked out for the week of 14 November, so if you are especially waiting to see her, we advise you to book a time ASAP.

Swedish Relaxation Massage

Swedish Massage
Draw aside from the madness, take a deep breath and relax with Swedish massage. Smooth flowing and continuous movements are directed back to the heart to enhance the deep relaxation experience and to leave the body and mind feeling rejuvenated.

Benefits of Swedish massage

  • relieve muscular tension
  • improve circulation, flexibility & joint range of movement
  • promote relaxation and peace of mind
  • May improve quality of sleep

Techniques

Techniques consist of:
Effleurage – derived from the French word effleurer meaning “gentle pressure”. It consists of smooth flowing and continuous long gliding strokes to warm up the muscle tissue and enhance the relaxation experience.
Petrissage – derived from the French word “petrir” meaning to knead. Kneading, lifting & rolling techniques are used to help improve muscle blood circulation, increase muscle tone & deep muscle relaxation.
Friction – circular and cross fibre friction movements help to increase blood flow and tissue mobility.
Tapotement – repeated rhythmical percussion movements to the superficial tissue. The brisk movements stimulate the nerve endings which produce tiny muscular contractions, resulting in an overall increase in muscle tone. Techniques such as hacking, pummelling & cupping are used.

Promote your well-being with Swedish Massage. Book now.

I always walk away feeling relieved and relaxed!

I’ve had massages from Lisa over the past year and always walk away feeling relieved and relaxed! I recently recovered from SIJ dysfunction and began training/exercising again. Massages with Lisa has allowed me to confidently get back into activities that I had done prior to my injury and maintain a functioning body. I thoroughly recommend Lisa and her professional services.

Over 18 months of back pain and sciatica

Following a recommendation from a friend, I went to see Nicki after being messed around by chiropractors and wrongly diagnosed by other medical specialists. After 6 intensive sessions I am now back doing things that I couldn’t do for more than 18 months of struggling with back pain and sciatica due to muscle spasm. At my first visit, Nicki pin-pointed my problem and following an hour of intensive treatment I was able to walk mostly normally again and even do light exercise on the treadmill. I still have days where I get muscle spasm but Nicki showed me ways I can ease this with simple exercises that will keep me going until I can visit her for more intensive treatment if I need it, and I have the confidence to get out and do things now, as I know that if needed then Nicki is only a phone call away. I have recommended Nicki to lots of friends and relatives and will spread the word to others who I can see will benefit from her help. I am not being paid or offered any other incentives to say this about IC Sports Therapies.
