Holistic Practice Philosophy

Janice Clarke, Sports Soft Tissue Therapist

Janice is a Soft Tissue Therapist specialised in the treatment of sports injuries. I wanted to bring together my passion and interest in sports to my work as a soft tissue therapist to help individuals and teams progress from being able to perform normal daily physical functions to sporting and highly skilled activities.

Soft Tissue Therapy is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is not only applicable for sports people but for everyone as it helps in prevention and recovery from soft tissue injuries.

“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.”
– Lao Tzu
