Sports Massage

Sports massage is a targeted therapy that helps relieve muscle tension, prevent injuries, and boost performance. Ideal for both active individuals and anyone dealing with daily aches, it supports recovery, flexibility, and overall mobility.

Benefits Include:

Reduced muscle tightness & soreness
Faster injury recovery
Improved flexibility & circulation
Relief from fatigue & stress
Correction of postural imbalances

Who It’s For:

Gym-goers & athletes
Office workers with tension or poor posture
Anyone recovering from injury or managing stiffness

What to Expect:
Each session is tailored to your needs, using deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and stretching to release tight muscles and improve movement.

Sports massage can be a standalone treatment or part of a wider plan with physiotherapy and rehab.

At Tigers Eye, we help you feel better, move easier, and perform at your best.

Acupuncture

At Tigers Eye, acupuncture is used alongside physiotherapy to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and support recovery.

We use medical acupuncture, a science-based approach grounded in anatomy and clinical evidence.

How It Helps:

Pain Relief: Eases acute and chronic pain by stimulating the body’s natural painkillers.
Muscle Relaxation: Releases trigger points and reduces tension or spasms.
Improved Healing: Boosts blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair.
Better Movement: Reduces stiffness and supports more effective rehab exercises.

Common Conditions Treated:

Back & neck pain
Osteoarthritis
Tendonitis
Muscle & joint pain

Part of a Holistic Plan

Acupuncture is often combined with:

Manual therapy
Joint mobilisation
Rehab exercises
Taping & postural strategies

Our therapists tailor every treatment to your needs, helping you recover faster and move with ease.

Osteopathic Articulation

Osteopathic articulation is a gentle, hands-on technique that improves joint mobility, eases stiffness, and restores natural movement. Using slow, controlled movements through your joint’s normal range, it helps reduce pain and improve function.

Benefits Include:

Looser, more mobile joints
Reduced muscle tension
Better posture and movement
Support for arthritis and long-term conditions
Recovery after injury

What to Expect:

This technique is gentle, non-invasive, and often described as relaxing. It’s typically used alongside other treatments like soft tissue therapy, rehab exercises, or acupuncture for the best results.

At Tigers Eye, osteopathic articulation is part of a tailored treatment plan designed to help you move freely, recover faster, and feel your best.

IASTM

Fascial release and IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) are hands-on techniques that target tight or restricted connective tissue to ease pain, improve movement, and support recovery.

What’s Involved?

Fascia is a web of connective tissue that can become tight or stuck due to injury, poor posture, or inactivity.
IASTM uses specialised tools to gently treat these restrictions with precision, often more effectively than hands alone.

Benefits:

Releases scar tissue and adhesions
Reduces pain and muscle tightness
Improves flexibility and mobility
Boosts healing and circulation
Speeds recovery from injury

What to Expect:
Your physiotherapist may apply manual pressure or use instruments over targeted areas. Some mild redness or sensitivity is normal. This is often combined with exercises or other therapies for best results.

At Tigers Eye, these techniques are part of a personalised treatment plan, helping you move better, feel better, and recover faster.

Taping

Sports taping is a targeted technique used to support muscles, joints, and ligaments during activity. It helps reduce pain, prevent injury, and improve performance, whether you're training, competing, or recovering.

Types of Taping:

Rigid taping for joint stability
Kinesiology taping (e.g. Kinesio Tape, RockTape) for muscle support and circulation

Benefits:

Reduces muscle fatigue & joint strain
Aids injury recovery
Minimises swelling & inflammation
Enhances movement & body awareness
Helps prevent re-injury

Common Uses:

Sprained ankles & knees
Shoulder or back support
Tendonitis & overuse injuries
Postural correction

Our therapists are trained in advanced taping techniques and tailor each application to your specific sport, injury, or recovery needs.
