Muscle Strains & Soft Tissue Injuries

Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries can range from a sharp twinge during exercise to deep soreness that builds over time. These issues are common in both active individuals and those returning to movement after a break – and if not treated properly, they often become recurring problems.

At Advance SRM Therapies, we take soft tissue seriously. Our detailed assessments and hands-on therapy help speed up recovery, reduce compensation patterns, and support healthy tissue repair.

We help with:

Muscle strains (mild to moderate)
Soft tissue overload or microtrauma
Pulled hamstrings, calves, quads or back muscles
Strains from sport, lifting or repetitive movement
Lingering soreness or tightness following injury

We work to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and encourage healing through expert soft tissue techniques – not just generic massage. We also provide rehab plans to strengthen the area and support a confident return to movement.

Whether you’ve had a sudden injury or a nagging issue that won’t shift, we’ll take the time to treat it properly and thoroughly.

Real Feedback, Real Results

"The team at Advance SRM are amazing. Both Jo and John have helped our entire family with acute and chronic problems.
Both my daughters are competitive dancers and the team have gone above and beyond to help them recover and manage injury and get them back dancing. This includes John strapping my daughter to make sure she could safely dance ahead of an international competition.
Jo has helped immensely for myself with post breast cancer recuperation and regained so much movement while reducing pain - she has undone years of damage! She also is a whizz at alleviating migraine tension.
Jess has been incredibly supportive of our fundraising efforts to help our local team represent England at international World Dance Championships.
Cannot recommend the team highly enough, and on top of all the great therapeutic services they provide, they are also involved with various local community groups."

"As a fitness teacher I would only recommend Advance SRM. John & his teams knowledge of anatomy & biomechanics is outstanding, I learn something new every time.
Add a lovely building with free parking & friendly staff gives it my 5 stars."

"I can thoroughly recommend Advance SRM Therapies in terms of the excellent care provided and the professionalism and kindness of my therapist, Jo. I went to her in excruciating pain from sciatica, and she diagnosed and treated the cause over a number of weeks. She has also followed up to make sure I am still well, and given me exercises to do to prevent it reoccurring. I have recommended SRM to others, without hesitation."

"My Son has Cerebral Palsy and John has been treating him for several years now. John has a very calm way about him, my Son also has Autism so sessions don't always go to plan but John adapts quickly and gets the best out of each session. He always explains things in simple terms and I have found his advice to be invaluable over the years. He has been and will continue to be, an important part of my Son's physical progress."

"I visited Jo for a Scar Tissue Therapy after having my second c-section. After the first few sessions I could already see dramatic improvement in the appearance of my scar but the true test was when I returned to competitive swimming where I had previously (after my first c-section) suffered a lot of pain across my lower abdomen and behind my scar. Jo had explained how scar tissue can attach to muscle and demonstrated selection of massage techniques for me to try at home. This was fantastic. Then a year later I returned for more advice alongside another scar tissue treatment where she introduced the silicone cupping along the scar to loosen the scar tissue from the abdominal muscles that had finally repaired themselves. I was sold! I bought some cups there and then and haven’t looked back! I cannot recommend Jo enough! And John’s videos online are ALWAYS so helpful if you’re ever unsure or want to try a bit of tlc at home! Thank you team!"

"I have been seeing John for over 7 years now. I have multiple health issues and injuries, and John (in conjunction with my personal trainer) has managed to keep me mobile despite all the challenges my body has thrown him over the years. I see John every month, and it has honestly been a life changer. Highly recommend Advance SRM."

"I've been seeing Jo for pregnancy and post natal treatments for 2 years and would highly recommend her to anyone in the same position. Jo takes the time to understand what is needed from each session - whether that's general relaxation or working on specific issues like PGP and sending across management plans between our appointments."
