Oliver offers specialised hands-on therapies in Sligo, including Fascia Manipulation and Neuromuscular Therapy. 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.
Fascia is a continuous network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, nerves and internal organs. When this tissue becomes restricted or less mobile, it may contribute to stiffness, discomfort and changes in movement.
