Kathryn Mitchell, Soft Tissue Therapist

Kathryn Mitchell, Soft Tissue Therapist Soft Tissue Therapy including Sports, Remedial and Pregnancy Massage Treatments in Southcote, Reading. EASE, RESTORE, REDISCOVER MOVEMENT.

As a Soft Tissue Therapist, I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals experiencing minor and chronic ​musculoskeletal injuries or pain. My approach is also ideal for anyone looking to move with greater ease or ​reduce tension. I work using a combination of sports, remedial, and advanced clinical massage techniques, honed through ​training with the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM) and the Jing Institute of Massage and ​Complementary Medicine. In addition to the above, I am also trained in pregnancy massage and hot ​stone therapy through the Jing Institute. I also have kinseology taping qualification. I am fully insured, a Member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage (ISRM), hold an Enhanced DBS ​Certificate, a BTEC L5 Professional Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy and a BTEC Professional Diploma in ​Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage. I have also undertaken further training in Mental Health specifically ​developed for Massage Therapists. Before embarking on my journey as a Soft Tissue Therapist, I was a Nursery Nurse for many years, working ​with children with additional needs and supporting vulnerable families. This experience has equipped me ​with a deep understanding of care and compassion, which I bring into my therapy practice. As a mother of two young adults, I understand the demands of a busy life and the importance of ​maintaining a healthy balance. Outside of my work, I enjoy photography, long distance and trail running, ​cycling, yoga and generally spending time in the great outdoors. SERVICES AVAILABLE:

Pre and Post Event Massage

Pre event massage: Prepares the joints, tissues and mind for optimal performance. Post event massage: Relaxes the nervous system, helps prevent post event soreness and aids range of movement. Both treatments avoid deeper, prolonged soft tissue work to align with event timing. Soft Tissue Therapy

Combines sports and remedial massage with advanced clinical massage, hot stones and stretching techniques to target individual needs. Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance your training, someone seeking pain-free movement, or you simply would like to manage daily stress, tailored treatments can help. Pregnancy Massage

Specialised treatments to help expectant mothers manage common pregnancy-related aches, pains, and conditions. These nurturing sessions offer not only physical relief but also a calm space for you to relax and focus on yourself

Discount for Parents or Carers of Children with Additional Needs

As a parent of a neuro diverse young adult, I genuinely believe it is so important to look after your own physical health and general well-being. Soft Tissue Therapy can be highly beneficial for this. I aim to make these treatments as affordable as possible by offering a discount.

The festive period can mean many different things to different people.

As Therapists, we recognise that while this season can be joyful for many, it can also bring stress, pressure, or difficult emotions for others.

If you find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed by it all, here’s a gentle self-care technique I wanted to share. I hope you find it helpful over the coming days.

Stuck for a small gift or stocking filler? 🎁🎄

I have mini pots of massage wax available this Christmas.
If you’re ever unsure how to loosen things off between treatments, I’m always happy to help. I can talk you through some simple at-home techniques, including ones where a dab of wax can make a difference.

I also have mini pots of throat and chest balm - the perfect addition to any household during winter time.
...and if you’d like to treat someone even more, a gentle reminder that I have gift vouchers available too!

M is for Musician 🎵🥁🎸

You may or may not know this, but I’m a big music fan when I’m not working but I find my 'work head' can still be on, making observations sometimes! I had the pleasure of seeing one of my all-time favourite bands this weekend...

Being a musician can be physically tough on the body. Repetitive movements combined with fine and gross motor skills, flexed or rotated positions, and one-sided playing patterns can all take their toll.

Soft Tissue Therapy can help:
• Ease discomfort from overuse
• Aid better movement and posture
• Improve comfort during practice and performance
• Keep your body functioning at its best

🎄Wow! Only 13 more sleeps until December… so I thought I would share my special December offer! ⛄

As a mum and someone who’s previously worked in a school, I know just how busy, overwhelming, and exhausting December can be - sometimes you just need a moment to press pause.

That’s why I’m maintaining my treatment room as a cosy haven of calm throughout December. Whether you’re feeling stressed, frazzled, or simply craving some quiet time, you're very welcome to pop by for a 30 minute relaxing massage at a discounted rate☺️

Please message or email me directly to book.
