Kirwan massage clinic—injury management treatment plans

To keep you in check when you're feeling good

Keeping to a regular treatment plan even when you are feeling good will help decrease the chances of future injury. Having a proactive approach to health and thinking from a preventative angle will help you in the long run.

After your initial consultation, our therapists will design a plan that suits how your body reacts and responds to treatment. Our treatment plans generally run for 4–8 weeks.

It's important to keep in mind that everyone is different, and their body will respond differently to treatment. With this in mind, we take the time to reassess the plan after every treatment. We may suggest taking a corrective stage plan to get you to this general care and maintenance stage. If this is the case, we will suggest coming in weekly or fortnightly to get you back on track. Our goal is to make sure you come back before the dysfunction starts up again.

For all our athletes

At NQ Bodyfix, we're here to make sure you perform at your best on the day of your event.

Ideally, you'll come in at a time when you can have 24-hours off high-intensity training after treatment. This gives your body enough time to recover after the massage and ensures you don't undo all our efforts. If you want a deep tissue or remedial massage, please remember that you will need to book in 3–4 days before the event.

Since it is normal to feel sore and lethargic after your treatment, you will need time to recover so you can perform at your best. During your off-season, we recommend keeping a regular plan to ensure your body is always ready to perform at its peak.

Great to mix with your physio care

Our team can provide injury management by working with your other health care professionals, or individually. We often see clients who have a major (or minor) injury and require our help to start using their body in different ways.

Through massage, we can work to release particular muscles that may be compensating for injury. Assisted physiotherapy can also be used to strengthen the correct muscles and help clients use their body in the correct way.

Depending on each client's situation, we aim to create a short-term plan to help you get on your way to a healthier you.

Long-term pain

When it comes to chronic conditions and disease that can make life unpleasant, our team want to make sure that you get the most out of your massage treatments. Even short-term pain relief can make all the difference to a client's mental health.

Once we have worked with you to create a plan, we will monitor your feedback and the treatment plan itself. We look at how and when you need treatments most so that we find something that works for you. Our ultimate, long-term goal is to have you on a plan that provides suitable pain relief.

All Trimesters

Our pregnancy care plan, as with all of our plans, is tailored to our client's needs. This plan will change depending on how you are coping with symptoms and if you have been pregnant previously.

During the 1st and 2nd trimesters, we aim to use a similar program to our general care plan. This is a check-up treatment that is used as a preventative measure. Once you get halfway through your 3rd Trimester, we will change the treatment to suit the pressure and strain your body is under. We will take into consideration how you are dealing with the symptoms of pregnancy and will treat any signs of dysfunction.
