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.

Best of luck to everyone participating!🏊🏼‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I still have some slots left for next week if you would like to book in using the booking button at the top of the page or via an email, phone call or message.

Happy Friday😊

I don't know about anyone else, but I found it SO nice to have some 'give' in my running surface last weekend following some much needed rain🏃🏼‍♀️👟!

As we transition into autumn and some prepare for the busy race season ahead (too many to mention!), it's important to adapt to changing running conditions—soggy, muddy trails, hilly terrain, and slippery leaves on pavements all require recruiting different muscles to stabilise ourselves. Now is also the time to focus on optimising rest and recovery between training sessions to support any increases in intensity or mileage.

If you do have an autumn race on the calendar or are dealing with a twinge or ni**le, don’t wait—get in touch or book a free discovery call to learn how regular treatments can help keep you on track.

Following on from launching my shiny, new 'booking' button on this page, I've just updated this previous post to include information about online booking requirements (see the last paragraph below!).

I hope it helps answer any payment questions you may have, but please just ask if you would like to know anything else or have any concerns.

I remember how hectic the lead-up to the start of the new academic year can be, especially after 6 weeks of juggling school holidays and work life!

If you’ve been running around sourcing uniforms, locating lost lunchboxes, or making IKEA trips for Uni halls (and your to-do list feels endless), don’t forget to schedule in a little self-care for you.

Parenting can be exhausting, so as the new term kicks off, make sure to carve out some time to reset by booking in your next appointment😊

Please note, you won’t be able to book directly through the booking button for tomorrow but if you give me a shout, I can get you booked in. 🙂

It was back to work today after an action-packed, fun-filled bank holiday weekend (which proved great for my daily step count)!!

Things kicked off on Friday at the festival with our eldest, we then headed off for a couple of nights away with our youngest in our new folding camper. Wi******er blessed us with sunshine, fresh air and a great base for some R+R — including a brilliant mystery adventure through the city.

Whoop! Exciting! ONLINE BOOKINGS ARE NOW LIVE right here on this page! 📣

That's one small step for my business… and one giant leap for this self-confessed technophobe!

In the early days of my therapist career, I avoided online booking (there are a few considerations around this for lone working therapists). But as things have grown and evolved, I’ve realised how helpful and convenient it is for you to be able to book at a time that suits you.

I’ve been quietly trialling the system behind the scenes for a little while now, and (fingers crossed!) most of the teething issues are sorted. That said, if you do run into any hiccups, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’m always happy to help or answer any questions.

So please feel free to click the button above to book your session!
If you prefer to book via another method, that’s absolutely fine too 😊
