MAKING LIFE HAPPEN

THERAPIES


Appointments are waitlist only and are for current members only, whether in clinic or online. This is due to such high demand.

Please bear in mind it could be at least 8 weeks before you could get an appointment.

Contact is only accepted by either text on 07879415711 or by email at info@tdracademy.co.uk.

FIRST APPOINTMENT


A first session:

  • 1 hour and 5 minute session for your first visit.

  • When attending for your first session, Tanya will discuss further bookings with you at that time. Packs can be purchased then for 1, 3 or 6 sessions. Most people require a minimum of 3 further sessions.

  • When attending, you can choose what the session involves based on your requirements and what Tanya feels is also right for you, which may mean a mix and match session from: Pain & Injury Management, Rehab Programme, Any Massage or Relaxation Therapies, Pilates Matwork, Pilates Equipment (eg. Reformer), Yoga, or any type of Personal Training. 

Note - we ask people to provide 3 large towels for any treatments. This has been to reduce cross infection and also to keep costs down. If you do not bring any towels, there will be a £2 additional charge to cover their use.

(All bookings are subject to our T’s and C’s.)


TESTIMONIALS

Thanks to Tanya for getting me on the road again. Bad Achilles injury in September, three months of treatment with TDR and delighted to say I managed to complete the Ballyclare May Fair 10k on Saturday. Highly recommended so thanks again
— Wesley
I couldn’t recommend Tanya highly enough. We visited her with my son, who swims competitively with club and Ireland after he broke his shoulder and was experiencing pain and restricted movement. Through her analysis she pin pointed where the issues were starting and over weeks worked on and provided techniques to strengthen and stretch these areas. We had to take it right back to basics but this paid off with a successful swim season and hopefully continued support from Tanya will now build on his progress so far. Thank you!

THERAPIES AVAILABLE

 

Injury & Pain Management Treatment Sessions

If you have sustained a musculoskeletal injury from any sport, from work or any lifestyle factors, or are suffering from acute or chronic pain, you can book in for an assessment, and receive expert hands on treatment and rehabilitation advice from an experienced Advanced Neuromuscular & Level 5 Sports Massage Therapy practitioner. An assessment is carried out and treatment and exercise/movement advice is provided as deemed appropriate for the greatest effect, and can involve:

  • Sports Massage / Soft Tissue Therapy

  • Advanced Bodywork Techniques

  • Dry Needling

  • Kinesio Taping

  • Posture & Movement Retraining

  • Gait Analysis

  • Pilates for Injuries

  • Movement and Exercise Rehabilitation Plans

  • Stress Management with Massage & Movement

  • Sessions can be on site or online

Treatment of every musculoskeletal condition, such as:

  • Back pain and sciatica,

  • Nerve type pains,

  • Shoulder injuries,

  • ITB syndrome, GTPS,

  • Tennis/golfers elbow,

  • Hip, knee and foot pain, eg plantar fasciatis,

  • Headaches, vertigo type symptoms, neck tension,

  • Post surgery including scar work,

  • Any aches & pains - unsure of what or why.

  • Tanya can treat all soft tissues in the body - muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, nerves and joints in all areas in the body.

 

I hear it too often “I wish I had tried this type of treatment sooner but I didn't know it would help or it wasn’t advised to me”. Often we get results in reducing pain, increasing range of movement, feeling looser and more mobile, and start to feel muscles work that didn’t before. Ultimately my focus is getting you back to doing what you have had to stop or reduce due to your symptoms, and this can often tie in with reducing or coming off pain medications, of course working alongside GP/Consultant advice. Often it is 3 sessions minimum, but after one we will know if we are on the right track or need to try a different approach. I will give you an honest and clear explanation of the journey and what I feel is best for you to progress. So if you are unsure, book in and let’s try, and you may be surprised at what I can do as it’s much, much more than just hands on treatment and exercises - it’s a holistic approach to your body and short term improvement with an overall long term improvement plan.

Sports Massage / Soft Tissue Therapy

Sports Massage is a style of body massage that can use added pressure when needed and aims to work into specific areas of tension for physical relief.  It is available for:

  • Pre & post event muscle recovery from sports events or in preparation for any upcoming physical exertion or afterwards to help your muscles return to a well rested state.

  • Daily muscle maintenance to keep muscles performing in their best condition for whatever you need them for in sport or life!

  • Injury prevention through keeping developing areas of tension relieved before they can progress to trigger points, knots and adhesions that undermine optimal function.

Sessions can last from 30 mins upwards, based on areas needing worked and level of work needed.

The complementary therapies available are:

I just wanted to offer some positive feedback on the back care workshop. I found it to be very informative and practical.  Tanya got us to actually work through the practical advice so we can go back and start using the knowledge now to hopefully make a difference in our work lives.  I’d recommend it to anyone whether they are experiencing pain in their job or not. A very worthwhile course.

Gerard, Allstate NI

“Tanya delivered us a very informative workshop on the importance of postural behaviour in the workplace. The session was very engaging and eye opening on how workplace behaviours can have an adverse effect on your physical health over a pro-longed period, with subsequent postural imbalances leading to issues such as back and neck pain. Tanya superbly led a demonstration of different measures you can take to set up a healthy workstation, as well as demonstrate some basic daily exercises which can make a big difference to your physical health. Tanya was fantastic, we would strongly recommend this workshop to other businesses and we look forward to having Tanya back again.”

Michael, Rainey & Best

If other therapies are listed on your policy and you wish to avail of these, contact Tanya if you are unsure if it is a treatment we offer.

What Are Healthcare Cash Plans?
