Peter Mercer Soft Tissue Therapy - It’s more than just a sports massage

You don't need to be an athlete or have a sports injury to benefit from treatment. Whether you're a runner preparing for an event, someone recovering from an injury or simply tired of living with aches and pains, treatment is designed around your goals—not a standard routine.

What can I help you with?

  • Neck pain

  • Shoulder pain

  • Lower back pain

  • Tight calves

  • Hip pain

  • Running injuries

  • Marathon recovery

  • General muscle tightness

Every appointment includes assessment, hands-on treatment and advice to help you stay active long after you leave the clinic.

Soft Tissue Therapy is a clinical approach to treating muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.

In my Whitstable clinic, using hands-on treatment, movement assessment and rehabilitation advice, I help reduce pain, improve mobility and support recovery from injury. Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs—whether you're training for a marathon, recovering from exercise or simply want to move more comfortably.
