YOUR STORY

It is likely that you will be suffering with anything ranging from mild postural discomfort to an inflamed painful joint, brought on via work, sport or life. 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 navigate a way forward :)

MY STORY

Treat and Compete began as a sports injury and pain management service in 2012 to meet the needs for members of the public who experience musculoskeletal issues derived from work, sport or life. 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 however my given name is Catriona :) Over the last 13 years I have applied skills that I learnt from various courses, being involved with sports teams, healthcare settings and always continuing with professional development.

Stress, Ergonomics, Time 

For some of us our jobs can bring a level of stress that places demands onto our musculoskeletal system. My appointment aims to provide relief from the tension and heaviness you are experiencing.

The structure of my service gives time for us to discus areas where changes could be made and implemented easily at the start middle or end of your day.

In Sport

Performance, Recovery, Injury

Depending on the reason for your appointment I provide Sports massage for Recovery and Performance focusing on the muscles most utilised in the sport or activity you participate in.

Injury classifications I work with include: Pre injured mild pain unto to Grade 3 Ligament Sprain. Part of my job is to get you focused on what is important and why time spent on warmup / stretching or rehabilitation will thank you in the long run.

This time in itself is always therapeutic and your treatment plan aims to serve as a way forward. I have helped a range of individuals who experience general muscular stiffness to chronic pain derived from life stressors to those dealing with muscular syndromes.

STORY TIME

*****

In work

"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!"

*****

In Sport

"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."

In Life

"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"
