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.

💝 February 14th is just around the corner 💝
If you celebrate, why not give the gift of self-care?

A gift voucher can be a lovely way to support someone’s wellbeing — whether that’s a partner or friend.

✨ Vouchers are perfect for someone who:
• Is currently working through a training plan and wants to reduce muscle soreness or avoid overuse injuries
• Carries a lot of responsibility at home or work and rarely puts themselves first
• Is pregnant and wanting to feel more comfortable or nurtured
• Lives with chronic pain
• Or simply wants to ease, restore, and rediscover movement!

Some Friday fun that I just haven't been able to un-see since getting my new, dark green, work linens a couple of weeks ago😊

Full disclosure - I have loved The Traitors after a day at work ever since it first started. I find it is the perfect excuse to put my feet up with a nice big cup of tea and relax (though sometimes glued to the edge of my seat)!

Enjoy the final tonight if you're another fan (or totally ignore this post if not)!

Person Centred Treatment: The Bigger Picture

As therapists, we like to look at the bigger picture, not only considering what’s happening in the moment, but also about what’s going on in your life between sessions.

Here are a few examples:

🏃‍♂️ The Runner with a 'Ni**le' – You might see yourself as a runner dealing with a minor issue, but if you're also a sleep-deprived parent, you might not be getting enough rest and recovery between training sessions.

💻 The Desk Worker with Stiff Neck and Shoulders – You may feel that your job is contributing to your discomfort, but if you're also caring for elderly parents in your spare time, or your job is at risk, stress might be playing a role too.

🔨 The Active Worker – You may find that regular treatments help keep you moving, but if you’re also managing a chronic pain or medical condition, there may be other factors to consider in your overall health, well-being and treatment.

That’s why from your very first appointment, we make time for a thorough consultation—to understand you as a whole person. Working together, we create tailored treatments and self-care strategies that fit your individual needs.

Phewy! That was one, super busy week, but one thing I LOVE about my job is the variety. I think the only thing I haven't done this week is a pregnancy massage, other than that I've covered it all.

Happy Friday everyone - thank you for your continued support and have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to😊

Well done to everyone who took part in Woodcote 10k yesterday🥇!

The past few weeks of freezing temperatures have meant many of us have been running on slippery or impacted ground. This, combined with the extra demands our bodies face just to stay warm while training, means you might be feeling heavy legs, restricted ankles, or a few sore joints right now.

If that sounds familiar and you’ve been meaning to book in as part of your training plan, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to help 😊

🏃‍♀️ I am currently taking bookings for:

• Bramley 10/20
• Local winter & spring 5k / 10k races
• Reading Half Marathon
• London Marathon
• Brighton Marathon
• Manchester Marathon
• Spring ultras
• Any other winter or spring races!

A gentle, friendly reminder: It’s completely okay to speak up about your comfort or ask for clarification during your treatment!

As therapists we are here to ensure your well-being. We always appreciate knowing if something feels uncomfortable or if you’re unsure about something, so please don’t hesitate to ask - it will allow you to feel at ease during your time with me😊

Brrr - it sure has been a chilly week❄⛄!

Thankfully, I have my hot stones to the rescue - providing soothing warmth to the body while supporting improved treatment outcomes.

Here is a little repost regarding the use of hot stones (or any form of heat) for anyone who would like to know more or book in to try some...
