Tibial Stress Syndrome Cardiff
Massage & Reflexology for Shin Splints
Tailor made massage treatments for clients with shin splints & stress fractures to accommodate for particular needs, and aiming to gain symptomatic relief. We intend to address your personal discomfort and help give you symptomatic easement. Every person is different - we do not intend to 'label' your discomfort - just provide simple everyday self-help tips and practical ways to gain relief.
This special range of sports massage biomechanical therapy, in combination with reflexology and acupressure trigger point therapy is suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions with acute or chronic Tibia Stress Syndrome (shin splint) pain and an inflammation of the shin or tibia. Obviously, stress fractures may occur anywhere in the body.
Your treatment will start from an assessment of the biomechanic posture of your foot and any possible excess pronation or supination of your heel, which may lead to adverse biomechanical pressure and pain along the tibia.
Aromatherapy essential oils may be blended to suit your particular needs, to tailor make a pain relief and an anti inflammatory oil blend. Trigger point therapy treatments and myofascial soft tissue manipulations suit acute pain conditions, a lack of biomechanical mobility or reduced range of motion.
Shin Splints and all other stress fractures, may also bring about cramp in the lower body, calf tension and tibia pain. You may wish to compare the stress fracture treatment with Tendonitis.

Short versions of shin splint massage treatment may be performed without oil, over your clothing.
When performed in this way, this massage routine may be quite deep and invigorating, when needed.
For longer sessions, this shin splint pain relief treatment uses a highly specialised blend of Aromatherapy essential oils that will be tailor made to suit your personal needs (anti inflammatory and/or Tibia pain relief, as required).
Tibia Stress Syndrome treatment also lends itself really well to the inclusion of Hot and Cold Stones therapy, as these basalt, marble and granite stones are highly effective in relaxing sore muscles, especially with acute sports injuries and muscle soreness or shin splint tendon strain.
Shin splint treatment is recommended at any time of the year, as this actually promotes a sense of refreshing harmony.
Shin splint client testimonials:
"World Class - Olympic standard.. I've visited City Marshall several times. Having ran in two Olympic Games and having a silver medal in one I'd say I've got some very credible knowledge and experience in world class massage therapy. I've had some of the best therapists in the world treat me in the past and I must say that Philip at City Marshall is one of the best therapists I've ever had. You get what you pay for and that's Olympic standard.... The best! I look forward to visiting again soon!"
Jamie Baulch, Welsh Olympic silver medalist 9 July 2015
"Currently being treated for a lower calf injury, possible running injury, and after 3 sessions can feel a real positive difference in the area. Phillip is very informative, friendly and knowledgeable and has highlighted and treated other areas of concern that have aided my recovery. Highly recommended."
Gareth Evans Newport 25 November 2013- on FreeIndex
"Shiatsu and Reflexology. It is obvious that Marshall has taken a lot of time and expense in mastering his many massage skills. This is not a pamper massage... Go there and be prepared to learn and be open minded. The Shiatsu is certainly highly therapeutic and if you are relaxed enough to have a massage without oil - this is surely what you should look into. Marshall's Reflexology technique is very clinical - not quite the foot massage that one expects - but extremely beneficial. I am hooked and have recommended it to all my mates at work."
Chloe Jones Cardiff on 11 August 2012
"I recently had Shiatsu massage and Thai Foot massage at City Marshall. The treatment was very relaxing. Philip Marshall certainly knows his stuff! I paid for a hour and a half treatment, and unlike some therapists who shave minutes off, Philip gave me a full hour and a half treatment, offering advice on related topics. The treatment room is very comfortable and Philip is extremely professional. My aches and pains have eased and I have booked another treatment. I would recommmend Philip to anyone. I have seen many therapists over the years and Philip is certainly one of the best."
Rebekah Humphries Risca on 8 May 2012
"My wife and I have received several Shiatsu treatments as well as foot reflexology from Philip. His service is excellent, his expertise and genuine care is second to none. Really appreciate his after care advice."
