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.

In Work
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.
In Life
Syndromes, Stress, fatigue
The structure of my service offers time to discuss the pain or discomfort you are experiencing day to day.

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!"

"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."
