Sunny Das2024-02-13Being a lorry driver I started to suffer from a severe neck/back pain. A huge knot behind my shoulder blade, being there for 6 months maybe more on and off. I went to one or two massage therapists, it did not do the trick. I found Live Well and went with Steve. Went with a Deep Tissue Massage. After expressing my issue, his explanation to the deep tissue totally reduced my pain. Advising another may be needed. Couldn’t have been happier with the result. Felt sore the next morning as advised, however the knot and aches reduced significantly. Due to book another soon.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

DON DRAPER2022-12-05I have been using Livewell Health for nearly 2 years for massages after various spinal operations. Some for healing injury, some for general healthy living. Diane, the lady who answers the phone, is always couteous and points me in the right direction. My most recent appt was with Natalia, who was professional and friendly. Most importantly, she understood which methods to use with my sciatica issue. She was very knowledgeable and was happy to go above and beyond by sending me exercises I could do at home (all in her owm time after my hour was up). All in all the business as a whole to me is faultless and I would highly recommend to anyone, even more so for injuries as I know it can be daunting using a new therapist if you are in pain. Thumbs up, 5 STARS.

Benefits of sports massage
Sports massage isn't just for elite athletes or people who exercise regularly. Everyone can experience pain whether that's joint or muscular, whether it is from sports or simply sitting at a desk, standing for long periods or lifting heavy items. We spend more time at work and putting our body into unatural positions and putting it under signifiant pressures not to mention poor postural positions, repetitive tasks. All of these normal day to day things can lead to muscular imbalances, tightness or bio-mechanical dysfunctions. So let's talk more about the benefits of sports massage and how our team can help?
- Increased Muscle Flexibility
- Increased High Quality Blood Flow
- Faster Healing and Recovery Times
- Increased Fascia Elasticity
- Improved Sporting Performance
- Ability to break down and improve Scar Tissue
- Ability to break down Trigger Points and Reflex Points

What techniques do our sports therapists use?
There are standard sports massage techniques that you will find at all clinics that offer a sports massage service and then you have more advanced techniques which are usually only performed by sports therapists that take much higher qualifications. We have explained these below.
Standard Sports Massage Techniques:
Effluerage - Effleurage is a massage technique involving long, sweeping strokes that glide over the skin, often used to warm up muscles, stimulate blood flow and lymphatic flow and promote relaxation.
Petrissage - Petrissage is a massage technique that involves kneading, squeezing, and lifting the muscles to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall muscle function.
Flushing - Flushing is a sports massage technique that involves applying long, quick, sweeping strokes towards the heart to increase blood flow, remove metabolic waste, and promote muscle recovery.
Tapotement / Hacking - Tapotement, or hacking, is a sports massage technique characterised by rhythmic, percussive tapping motions using the edge of the hands to stimulate muscles, enhance circulation, and invigorate the body.
Thumb Frictions - Thumb frictions is a sports massage technique where the thumbs apply deep, circular pressure to specific areas to break down scar tissue, adhesions,muscle knots, and enhance tissue mobility
Advanced Sports Massage Techniques:
Trigger Pointing - Trigger pointing is a sports massage technique that involves applying focused pressure to specific tender points in muscles to alleviate pain and release tension.
Soft Tissue Release (STR) - Soft Tissue Release (STR) is a sports massage technique that combines muscle stretching and targeted pressure to release tightness, improve flexibility, and restore normal function to affected soft tissues.
Muscle Energy Therapy (MET) - Muscle Energy Therapy (MET) is a sports massage technique where the therapist uses the client's active muscle contractions against resistance to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall flexibility.
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) - Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a sports massage technique that targets specific muscle groups and their associated nerves to address pain, release muscle tension, and correct postural imbalances through precise, focused pressure.
Positional Release - Positional Release is a sports massage technique that involves placing the body in a specific, comfortable position to relax and release tight muscles, reduce pain, and improve overall function by easing muscle and joint tension.
