"Incredible team, I’ve been going to LV for 6/7 months now, they’ve made me achieve my goals and beyond after suffering a stroke I lost all movement in my left side. Thanks to roberto and other team members I’m walking unaided and now focusing on my hand and arm. Every week I discover a new ability that I never thought I’d ever be able to do again. I’ll forever be thankful to LV and the team for giving me my life back."

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions about our treatments

If you have any other questions not answered here, feel free to contact us, a member of our team will be happy to help!

What is SCENAR and how does it work?

Scenar therapy is a natural approach for pain relief. It stimulates the body’s own healing system to release endorphins and other neuropeptides which can help sooth painful injuries/conditions. Scenar also has the benefit of aiding chronic pain at a steady pace as well as acute pain/injuries.

What does SCENAR feel like?

In general, SCENAR treatments feel like a sightly prickly pins and needles sensation. It’s a therapy where strength of the sensations can be modified for each individual depending on how receptive a person is.

What’s the difference between SCENAR and TENS?

One of the big differences between SCENAR and TENS is that the signal in a TENS machine is repetitive which can cause the body to become desensitised to the signal and therefore making the treatment less effective. With SCENAR, the signal is always changing due to the biofeedback mechanism which allows a two-way communication with a patient’s nervous system. This constant change in signal allows the body to redirect activity towards painful areas of the body.

What can SCENAR be used for?

Sports Injuries
Back and neck pain
Sciatica
Plantar fasciitis
Shoulder pain/ frozen shoulder
Tennis elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Arthritis
Chronic pain

Which type of massage should I have?

A sports massage will increase blood flow to the targeted muscles and help to reduce tension. This is a great massage to relieve tight muscles, increase flexibility and reduce pain. Reducing muscle tightness helps to prevent injuries. A remedial massage is a therapeutic form of massage which is adapted to suite those with different medical conditions. It is relaxing and calming in nature. This massage will help with relaxation, stress relief, depression and anxiety and long term conditions. Our therapy team are also trained in myofascial release which can be incorporated into a massage where indicated. If you are unsure as to which massage you may benefit from call our client care team on 01243 943023.

What should I wear?

Please wear comfortable clothing and underwear. Your clinician will need to access the area being treated. You will keep your underwear and towels will be used to keep you warm.

What should I expect from a massage appointment?

On arrival you will be welcomed by our reception team and offered a hot or cold drink. Your clinician will invite you into the clinic. Depending on the area being treated and massaged your clinician will ask you to undress as required and your privacy will be maintained. Towels and pillows will be positioned to keep you warm and comfortable throughout. Your clinician will ask what level of pressure you prefer at the start of your massage and then adjust as needed throughout.

How often should I have sports or remedial massage?

How often you require a massage will depend on you clinical needs. This can be discussed with you clinician at your initial session.
