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.

Anyone else out there in complete awe of Sara Cox this week proving that age is but a number! As someone who has dabbled her own toes into ultra distances, I can't even begin to imagine what her legs must be feeling right now.

What a woman💪🏃‍♀️
What a fantastic cause too! Children in Need is something I love to get behind having previously worked with children who have benefitted greatly from some amazing work and support via a CIN grant🙂

Frequently heard phrases in the treatment room:

‘I feel like going to sleep now💤’
‘I could stay here all day☺’
‘I don’t know why my tummy is so noisy’
‘Sorry, I can’t stop yawning😴’
‘I feel so much lighter’

I love hearing these!

They are a sure sign that your autonomic nervous system is shifting from sympathetic to parasympathetic mode — the body’s “rest and digest” state, where heart rate and breathing slow down, digestion is stimulated, and the bladder may function more effectively.

If you see me regularly, you may know what a big fan I am of walking as a form of self-care—whether it’s to help you increase your daily movement, ease back or chronic pain, or support your recovery after an injury.

Here's a gentle reminder of the many evidence-based health benefits of walking🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️.

I will always work with individual preferences when it comes to massage medium.

We are very aware of sensory processing and sensory preferences in our house, so if you really don't like the texture, feel or smell of what I am using - please just say, it really isn't a problem😀 I personally don't like oil which is why I don't use it as a therapist (not that there is anything wrong with it)!

Massage can also be performed through clothing with no medium.

A nice little, post-work, wind-down run.

Just me, myself and I, present in the moment, loving all things autumn, whilst valuing my own self-care.

It's been an incredibly busy month in the treatment room and running will always be my own go-to 'time out'🍁🍂🐿
