In Work. In Sport. In Life.
My
Story
Treat and Compete began as a service to meet the needs for members of the public who experience musculoskeletal issues derived from work, sport or life. From 2012 I have been able to hone in on what helps people and provide that in the bookable session below.
Treat and Compete is delivered by me, Cash, your therapist! I operate as a sole trader delivering my service. My given name is Catriona however I like to be referred to as Cash :)
Over the last 12 years I have learnt skills from being involved with sports teams, working in healthcare settings and always continuing with professional development. I have been lucky enough to work with some athletes in my time although I have to say that working with the public is my favourite part of the job and what I recognised was right for me.
Outside of my clinic I play for a grassroots woman & non binary football team called Camphellcats F.C It is a very enjoyable aspect of my life !! As one of the clubs sponsor my logo sits proudly on our shirts and I try and help the team with any stretching / performance and recovery advice when they are looking for it :)
Your
Story
It is likely that you will be suffering with anything from mild postural discomfort to an inflamed painful joint, or muscle brought on via work, sport or life. Your story may involve emotional onset of pain or you could be training for an ultra marathon or a couch to 5k and are looking for support in those areas. You could be an individual who has a musculoskeletal disorder and would like to improve your situation. Regardless of where your issue stems, I look forward to helping you out. The framework I apply is Consultation, assessment & treatment plan. Your treatment plan consists of techniques that are designed to help your situation followed by aftercare methods such as stretching, altering technique or advice about applying a change in the area that may have led to your issue.

Google Reviews.
"With a neck and lower back that suffer frequent pain due to a combination of weakness, tightness and sitting for long periods of time for work, Catriona has been incredible to help relieve my pain. Pain has reduced significantly since coming to Treat and Compete. I come back frequently to manage my pain and am able to due to the fair prices. Highly reccommend!"
"Cash was recommended to me by a friend after I injured my lower back, nearly 2 years ago. Honestly one of the best recommendations I've received. Whatever injury or bad posture ailment I take, Cash somehow works her magic. We've worked through a number of things from lower back, shoulder injury to tight hip flexors. Amazing for on-going support if you're active or even if you just sit at your desk all day. Highly recommend and will continue going back."
"I've been attending Treat and Compete for a couple of years now for chronic pain and I highly recommend for any and all physio needs! Cash is incredibly informed, listens and responds accordingly, super friendly and just brilliant at what she does"
