Massage Therapy with Deborah McCarthy


Massage (Tui Na & Thai massage)

Tui Na is essentially Chinese massage. The difference with Western massage is perhaps that you will definitely know you've been worked on with this deep, robust and vigorous therapy. Focus will be applied to your specific pain sites, acupressure points, energy lines, muscles and joints. You can use this therapy to treat injuries, ease aching muscles or simply for a sensational massage.

I became a Chartered Physiotherapist in 2008 having gained a BSc in Physiotherapy at Bournemouth University. Prior to that I had graduated with a Bsc in Sport and Exercise Science; where my research focussed upon running shoe design’s influence upon injuries.

As a graduate physiotherapist I gained valuable experience rotating through various specialities within the NHS, before concentratng on my keen interest of Musculo skeletal physiotherapy. Within this speciality I haved enjoyed enhancing many skills including acupuncture, dry needling, clinical pilates, spinal manual therapy, both in the Uk and overseas.

Whilst overseas I expanded my experience working with colleagues from around the world, treating a hugh spectrum of patients including high level athletes and many work related injuries.

My passion for treating patients comes from the satisfaction of getting to the root cause of problems and allowing patients to maximise their quality of life. This requires tailoring my treatment to each patient’s needs and insuring they are able to not only resolve problems, but also gain an understanding of how to prevent future issues.
