MSK Therapy and Sports Injury Clinic

We often advise assessing you 48 hours post injury as it takes time for the body to respond. Other than pain and the mechanism of injury, the initial presentation doesn't give you the full extent of the damage.

Swelling can take time to kick in.... notice the swelling build over the 24-48 hour period as the bruising also starts to appear.

Swelling is the body protecting itself from further damage, this put pressure on the pain receptors which can increase the pain and a makes moving a joint more uncomfortable which can make an injury appear worse than it is... it can also mask a more severe injury.

For this reason, we often advise waiting 48-72 hours post injury before coming to see us, as often within the first 24 hours, the body is still responding and swelling is still developing which can make it more difficult to assess... if the pain is unbearable and you're unable to weight bear on the injured side, then a trip to A&E may be advisable.

Sports massage & soft tissue therapy isn't just a massage...

It includes a detailed consultation, assessment and a devised treatment plan. Sports massage techniques are used alongside other treatment modalities including stretching, Kinesiology taping, medical acupuncture and in some cases osteopathic manipulation and articulation.

Post-treatment aftercare often includes stretches and exercises to do at home or the gym between appointments.

We've got a few changes happening over the next few weeks in the clinic.

First up, my clinic hours will be changing and I will now be working Thursday daytimes instead of Thursday evenings.

I will still be offering evening appointments on Tuesday and Wednesdays, however these do tend to book up quickly, so recommend booking in advance to secure your regular slot.

These changes will be starting on 1st October.

Where are we based?

You can find MSK Therapy & Sports Injury Clinic at the Balmoral Hub, just off the AWPR at Charleston. The Balmoral hub is located behind Volvo & Audi and is a shared office building.

There is parking onsite and it is just 5 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop.

Whats the difference between SPORTS MASSAGE and PHYSIOTHERAPY?

There's some crossover within the professions but there's also limitations to the services we can provide.

At MSK, we work closely with a number of physiotherapists within the city and if what you are presenting with is beyond our scope of practice, we may refer you on to a Physiotherapist. If you're unsure about what service you need, get in touch.

What a weekend! Awesome vibes this weekend P&J Live Aberdeen. Not only is it great to have more events in Aberdeen, my favourite part of the weekend wasn’t the finish line. It was bumping into so many of you within the fitness industry in & around Aberdeen.

To see so many familiar faces, clients, and friends all supporting and cheering for each other is what Aberdeen is all about!

Thank you so much for all the words of encouragement and support in the arena today! My cup is well and truly full 💙

I hope you all had an amazing time The Gauntlet, see you in clinic for your post event massage and gauntlet debrief 😜
