Move Well Massage, Rehab & Balance, run by Viv Slater, is based in Thame, Oxfordshire, OX9 3ZQ. This location is handy for people who live or work in Thame, Haddenham, and the surrounding villages. 
  • I provide musculoskeletal therapy and sports massage. This goes far beyond deep tissue massage. I use an advanced range of muscle release techniques and gentle joint mobilisations, often used by physiotherapists and osteopaths.
  • I assess your movement patterns and ask questions about your pain or discomfort, and work out what the injury or movement restriction is
  • I then provide you with rehabilitative exercises and rehabilitative yoga to reduce pain and improve strength, flexibility and balance.
  • The treatment and exercises that I provide will: reduce muscular and joint pain and tension, prevent and rehabilitate injuries and help you to move well, in daily life or in sport and activity.
  • I can treat you whatever your age, stage of life and level of activity.
  • You'll be pleasantly surprised at what can be achieved, in a short time, with some treatment and advice from me, and some home exercises and simple lifestyle changes from you.

I provide a friendly, approachable service that will put you at ease, whatever your age or level of activity. As well as providing treatment, I give you tools to help you get yourself better and move well. I am a facilitator in that process, rather than creating a situation where only I can "fix" you and you are reliant on me. This leads to better long-term results for you.

If you would like regular, maintenance treatment to keep on top of aches and pains, I am happy to do that. Or, if you prefer to fix a specific problem, we will deal with that in one or a few appointments.

I help you back to comfortable movement as efficiently as possible. If I see that you will get better more quickly with another practitioner, I will suggest them.  ​By being very honest and clear with my patients, they come back when they need to, and they refer friends, family and colleagues to me.  You can read google reviews about patient experiences here.

I have years of experience working in the NHS in Health Coaching, Physiotherapy and Cancer care. This gives me a unique skill that you won't find with all therapists: I can give you suggestions of what to do next, privately or within the NHS, if you can't work out what approach to take to resolve more complex or persistent musculoskeletal issues.

Why not book an appointment and see if I can get you moving well and feeling better?
