FAQ
FAQ
How does Recovery & Manual Therapy differ from Assisted Stretch Therapy?
Recovery & Manual Therapy (Body Reset) is a comprehensive, hands-on session combining precision manual therapy, myofascial techniques and light stretching to help release muscular tension, restriction and tissue blockages.
Assisted Stretch Therapy is lighter and fully passive, focused primarily on improving flexibility and calming the nervous system.
If you are unsure, Recovery & Manual Therapy is the most adaptable starting point.
Do I need to be injured to book a session?
No.
Most clients are not injured they simply feel tight, restricted, or overloaded.
Functional Motion supports both active and sedentary bodies looking to move and feel better.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows movement (e.g., leggings, shorts, t-shirt).
All treatments are oil-free and performed fully clothed.
For comfort and hygiene, a clean body and fresh clothing including clean socks are essential 🙂
Will it be painful?
Sessions are precise but not aggressive.
Some areas of restriction may feel intense, but you are always in control and encouraged to communicate throughout.
The goal is improved movement not discomfort.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals and current condition.
Some clients benefit from a single reset session, while others choose ongoing maintenance or progressive mobility work.
Consistency often leads to more sustainable results.
Do you use tools like cupping or scraping?
Yes, when appropriate.
Tools such as scraping or cupping may be incorporated to support tissue release and circulation always as part of a structured session, never as a stand-alone treatment.
Is this physiotherapy?

Functional Motion provides recovery and mobility services focused on manual therapy and movement.
It is not physiotherapy and does not include medical diagnosis or rehabilitation plans.

I’ve been seeing Clemence for assisted stretching and the difference has been incredible. She helped me relax deeply while working on my fascia, and I feel amazing after every session. She also gives me simple exercises to do at home, which has really improved my joints and overall movement over time
Rebecca, 31
Assisted stretching
I train regularly and was constantly dealing with tightness and restricted movement, especially in my hips and shoulders. Working with Clemence has made a noticeable difference in how I move and recover. The combination of manual therapy and assisted stretching has helped me feel less restricted and more efficient in my training. It’s now a key part of my routine
William, 43
Recovery Therapy
I spend long hours at a desk and was starting to feel constant stiffness in my neck, shoulders, and lower back. Sessions with Clemence have really helped release that tension and improve my posture. I feel more open, less tight, and much more comfortable day to day. I recommend
