Transforming Lives: My Experience as a Soft Tissue Therapist at Breakspeare Clinic
Posted on 17th October 2024 at 14:48
I have been working at the Breakspeare Clinic for just over 4 months, and so far it's been great!
I've seen many lovely patients and have helped a number of different conditions. A couple of common issues I've treated include frozen shoulders, cervicogenic headaches and hip pain (generally caused by a tight piriformis!).
A lot of my patients have felt some kind of relief after the first session and even more benefits after the second.
Lots of my patients are already on to maintenance sessions as the original issue is causing significantly less problems. I've enjoyed treating cervicogenic headaches as the patients gain so much relief from such an annoying symptom.
Soft Tissue Therapy has been incredibly useful in my treatment plan for patients. Using massage and mobilisation techniques, my patients gain a greater range of motion and experience a reduction in pain too.
While helping me by carrying out some simple exercises at home, patients have had some great results. I have treated a few stubborn shoulders such as adhesive capsulitis and impingement issues using these techniques with great effect.
I have gained a lot of confidence since taking on this role which has massively helped my studies towards my Osteopathy degree that I'll be finishing in June. Practicing as a soft tissue therapist ahead of qualifying as an osteopath will give me a great boost into my career!

Thank you to all the patients I've seen so far who have helped me settle into my new job and gain my confidence.
Here are just a couple of reviews from some of my patients:

Lottie is a very accomplished and professional therapist. Her assessment of my needs followed by hands on massage has had a significant and positive impact upon my limited mobility in my hips - despite being already diagnosed with arthritis. Fully recommend.

I was extremely happy with my recent soft tissue massage with Lottie I had yesterday. I like the combination of manual therapy and deep tissue massage as a therapy - I felt it really hit the spot and am looking forward to going back for more - thank you!
