Ross Fulton BSc (Hons),DSM, DRSM, SMTO

Ross was trained by the Scottish Massage School and is qualified to Diploma level in Swedish and Sports and Remedial Massage. Through regular workshop attendance he is experienced in Myofascial release techniques and also uses some Slavic massage.

Ross's interest in massage began following the serious illness of a relative. Even when unconscious, pain and physical distress were obviously alleviated through a simple facial and hand massage. Ross believes touch is essential to our everyday lives and mental, physical and social wellbeing. Many issues and events in our lives can make us fearful or tense about another person even coming close to us. Overcoming this in a professional environment is a first step towards allowing physical contact. Ross would encourage you to bring along company to sit in on the massage if this is an issue for you.

Ross continues his professional development through experience, reading and workshops to widen his skills in massage.

Sports and Remedial Massage

Massage

How do I work?

As a remedial therapist, I focus on the soft tissues and the bony structure of the joints. Treatments comprise of a consultation and if necessary, a range of movement assessment. Each treatment is tailor made and incorporates the following techniques:

• Effleurage
• Friction
• Petrissage
• Myofascial and neuromuscular techniques
• Lengthening and stretching of the muscles
• Active, passive and resisted movements

Basically, you may have either a light massage or deep muscle work.
