Soft tissue therapy is a collective term for the treatment of superficial soft tissues. Common techniques include deep tissue massage, friction, myofascial and trigger point release. We believe we have some of the most experienced soft tissues therapists around and some have worked within International and premiership football level and understand how to adapt the techniques to meet our clients goals. For example, excessively deep techniques may not be suitable if you are just about to start a day’s work or take part in a sporting event. All clients are treated as individuals and your preferences as to the depth of the massage and the techniques used can be discussed with our therapists. You do not have to be a sports person to have a deep soft tissue massage and many of our clients are not into sport but just enjoy a good loosen up to keep them at there best day to day.
Notably, you do not need to be a sportsperson to receive a massage and many of our clients utilise this service for ongoing maintenance, stress-relief and performance-enhancement reasons.
Sophie Richardson is our clinic’s lead soft tissue therapist and has worked also as the England women’s national football team’s soft tissue therapist and sets the standard of care expected from all our massage therapists via in-house tutorials, lectures and training.
I have been going to Team Buckley now for a number of years due to an ongoing back complaint, and i can whole heartedly say i would never go elsewhere.I have been treated by Andy and Sophie , both of whom are exceptional in their craft, whilst being friendly and extremely professional.
"I have been visiting Team Buckley for many years now and find it an important part of my training. As a long distance triathlete it is fundamental that i keep my body in the best possible condition throughout training and during my recovery. The sports massage therapists here have a wealth of knowledge and experience in covering all sport. I am very fortunate the therapists also experince in triathlon, either participating or coaching, so they fully understand the strain my body goes through. This is imperative when it comes to my treatments as they adapt the session to aid recovery allowing me to train, race or rest depending on my schedule. As a multidiscplinary team they have kept me functioning, provided good advice and more importantly helped me achieve my goals. Thank you to you all.
"Absolutely perfect massage from Team Buckley. I have been seen by Sophie, Enya and Andy before and all three have been brilliant. Extensive knowledge and they tailor the treatments individually.

"I came to see Team Buckley nearly 5 years ago when i was plagued by injuries and saw Andy Buckley. From day one i never looked back and they got me going again and keeping the injuries to a minimal. This aslo opened up myself to more sensible training that has resulted in me competing for GB at age group level, where i have one European and National medals and now the GB Aquathlon captain for the World Championships.
