Oliver offers specialised hands-on therapies in Sligo, including Neuromuscular Therapy and Fascia Manipulation. Each treatment takes an individual approach to understanding areas of pain, tension, stiffness or restricted movement, helping you move with greater comfort and ease.
Whether you are experiencing persistent muscle tightness, discomfort from work or exercise, or difficulty moving freely, Oliver will take the time to understand your concerns and tailor your treatment to your individual needs.
Neuromuscular Therapy is a specialised hands-on treatment focusing on tight, overworked or stressed muscles and surrounding soft tissues. Using movement assessments, skilled palpation and targeted techniques, Oliver identifies areas contributing to your discomfort rather than focusing solely on where you feel pain.

Neuromuscular Therapy and Fascia Manipulation both use hands-on techniques, but they focus on different aspects of the body’s tissues.
Neuromuscular Therapy primarily focuses on muscles and surrounding soft tissues, helping address tension, tenderness and movement restrictions.
Fascia Manipulation targets connective tissue restrictions to improve mobility and help the body move more freely.
The most appropriate treatment depends on your symptoms, movement and individual circumstances.

Some techniques may create pressure or tenderness when working on areas of tension. Treatment should remain within a comfortable and appropriate level for you. Always let Oliver know if something feels too uncomfortable so that adjustments can be made.
Appointment length depends on the type of treatment and your individual requirements. The expected duration can be confirmed when booking.
