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. Part of my story surrounds identity. 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
APPOINTMENT

Pre Session

When you arrive I will welcome you into the studio where our appointment will begin. I'll start with a run through of the treatment plan I have put together. This treatment plan will be based on the information you provided, at time of booking. How you present via this process will determine the techniques I have selected. They are designed to best serve your needs. If you are unhappy with any part of the treatment plan however, your are entitled to not give consent and I can amend it :) This is encouraged rather than seen as being a problem :)

Post Session

After our session I leave the room for a few minutes so you can get ready. When I return we can discuss the effectiveness of the session and what might be important for you to focus on based on your needs. Following this we can schedule a followup and take card payment if applicable.
