About Swain + Powell

Working for and operating out of Grasshoppers RFC, Swain + Powell is a Sport Injury and Massage Clinic open to private clients.

Established in 2006, our staff are fully qualified Sport Rehabilitators and professional masseuses and have experience dealing with a wide range of traumatic injuries and muscle problems.

We treat a wide variety of conditions and injuries, from chronic back pain to acute sprains and strains. Muscle soreness and postural abnormalities are commonly treated with deep tissue massage and post operative rehabilitation is undertaken with the utmost care and consideration for the client's needs and goals.

All our staff are fully qualified in the areas in which they practise and are governed by the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT).

Post Operative Rehabilitation

After surgery, following your surgeon's protocol, we will guide you safely through your rehabilitation process back to full health.

Our exercise prescription and hands on work will be highly specific to your individual requirements. We will progress at a pace that suits you and fully involve you in the aims and purposes of everything we do.

Postural Correction

Correct posture is an important part of everyday activity. Incorrect posture leads to muscular imbalances, pain and reduced function. Taking an active approach to posture correction and maintenance will help to prevent problems in later life, or correct those that have already surfaced.

Your posture will be assessed and through use of massage, muscle energy techniques and isolated exercises, we work together to correct any imbalances and improve your body's function and form.

Injury Rehabilitation Whether it's getting back to competitive sport or simply being able to enjoy everyday life pain free, effective injury rehabilitation relies on accurate diagnosis and treatment of injuries.

Our rehabilitation regimes are aimed at restoring a full range of motion and strength to injuries, with additional work to improve stability for future prevention of further injuries.

Injury Strapping

Some injuries require the use of strapping to improve joint stability, reduce swelling, improve proprioception or even prevent an unwanted movement. We have a number of techniques with which to bring about the required result.

Deep Tissue Sports Massage

Deep tissue massage is a massage therapy used to release chronic muscle tension. It focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue and eliminating localised areas of tension. It is especially helpful for:

Stiff neck Low back pain Sore shoulders Limited mobility Recovery from injuries (eg. whiplash, falls or sports) Repetitive strain injury (eg. carpal tunnel syndrome) Postural problems Osteoarthritis pain Fibromyalgia Muscle tension, spasm, reduced range of motion
