LW SPORTS THERAPY IS BASED IN MARTOCK, TAUNTON AND YEOVIL

 A consultation is designed to help understand the pain or discomfort you may be in. This consists of a verbal (subjective) assessment where the injury is discussed through questions, in order for the therapist to gain an understanding of what is occurring so that the best tests can be selected to help reach a diagnosis. After the subjective assessment has been completed, an objective assessment will begin. This is a physical examination of the client to source the underlying issue of the pain or discomfort. From this a treatment plan is formed and discussed with the client to help them make the best recovery they possibly can.

 Rehabilitation aids recovery from an injury through prescribed exercises which form a rehabilitation plan, individually designed for each client. No injury is the same and no client will recover at the same pace. Each client is treated individually with everything aimed towards the client reaching their own goals; from walking to playing sports again – LW Sports Therapy will get you there! 

1-2-1 sessions are available at an additional cost to the plan, for those clients who would prefer extra time with their therapist to go over techniques or give extra guidance during home rehabilitation. 

 This is usually used to support an injury during the rehabilitation phases, until the injured area feels strong enough to support itself again. Lauren is ability to use a wide range of tapes, from encouraging lymphatic flow to stabilising joints during exercise. 

LW Sports Therapy offers a wide range of functional and supportive tapes, be it for daily use during the healing phase or for training sessions and match days during the return to play stage. Lauren also offers Kinesiotaping (K tape).

 LW Sports Therapy can give you advice on sensible eating to reach a target weight goal. If you are wanting to eat healthier and would like a plan to follow to encourage you to stick to it, then Lauren can design you an individual one to include healthy foods that you like to eat. These can be created alongside a fitness training plan if you are looking to get in shape with both healthy eating and exercise combined. 

Get in touch with information on your own personal goals and targets and Lauren can give you advice on the best way to reach those.

If you are a sports club or team, a group of friends or family, or just an individual who is looking to maintain fitness or to begin your fitness journey then contact Lauren. She can provide you with online sessions through zoom, which are all targeted specifically towards the aims and objectives of the clients involved. LW Sports Therapy can offer whole team sessions (e.g football teams including all players and staff who can join the one call and train together). This can be arranged at convenience of the club to make it available to as many members of the team as possible. Individual sessions can be designed for you; all Lauren needs to know is what your end goals are and she will help to get you there! If you and your friends or family would like to train together, small group sessions can be planned to make fitness a fun and enjoyable way of getting together. Block bookings are available for everyone too!

This technique involves the use of placing decompressed cups onto the skin's surface and then creating a suction, lifting the skin into the cups. This modality helps to target the underlying tissues such as the fascia as well as muscles, along with the blood and other fluids that are closer to the skin's surface. While this treatment method can leave the client with red or dark rings on the skin for a few days post appointment, this occurs due to the tension in the tissues underneath the cups placement. This is not a painful treatment despite the marks that can be left on the skin! This is a great, effective and quick way to have an immediate effect on the deeper tissues of the body to release tension.

Cupping can be used alongside Sports Massage treatments to enhance the results further.
