Sports massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on muscles and soft tissues to reduce tightness, improve movement, and support recovery. It’s commonly used alongside training or regular physical activity to help the body cope with load and stress.

No. Sports massage is suitable for anyone who trains, exercises regularly, or experiences muscle tightness related to activity or daily life. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit — just active in some way.

Your first session will start with a short discussion about your activity levels, any problem areas, and relevant health information. Treatment is then tailored to you using hands-on soft tissue techniques, within my scope of practice. There are no surprises or unnecessary steps.

It’s recommended to stay well hydrated in the 24–48 hours leading up to your appointment and to avoid intense training immediately beforehand where possible.

After treatment, it’s normal to experience mild soreness, redness, fatigue, or a light-headed feeling. These are common contra-actions and usually settle within 24–48 hours.

Light activity such as walking is encouraged after your session, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for the remainder of the day.

I am currently completing my Level 3 Sports Massage Therapy qualification. All treatments are delivered within my scope of practice, following professional standards, and are fully insured. Sports massage is not a medical treatment and does not replace diagnosis or care from a qualified healthcare professional.

You should not book if you have an acute injury, unexplained nerve symptoms (such as numbness or tingling), a skin infection, or if you are pregnant without prior discussion. If you’re unsure, please complete the intake form and review the questions carefully before booking.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. You don’t need to bring anything else — just arrive a few minutes early so the session can start on time. There are changing rooms and toilets should you need them.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a charge. Missed appointments without notice may be charged in full. Full terms are available on the Terms & Conditions page.
