Treatment List
Tailored massage treatments to keep you moving comfortably and confidently.
Sports Massage
Each Sports massage is tailored to your needs, using focused techniques to reduce pain, ease tension and help you relax so you can recover faster.
Where helpful, I may use hot stones as part of your treatment to gently ease tension and support deeper relaxation – at no extra cost - if this is something you would particularly like let me know at the time of booking so I can heat them in advance.
From a sore neck to achy feet, sports massage can help you feel better and keep you moving. You don’t have to be an athlete, and treatment doesn’t need to hurt. Massage can support recovery from injury and ease chronic pain, which may help you reduce or even stop using painkillers

FAQs
What is sports massage?
Sports massage is a type of massage that focuses on the muscles, tendons and soft tissues you use in everyday life, exercise and sport. It’s not just for athletes – it can help runners, people who sit at a desk all day, and anyone dealing with aches, tension or persistent pain. I use a mix of focused techniques and gentle pressure, tailored to you, to ease tight areas, support recovery and help you move more comfortably. I find techniques that incorporate movement - such as muscle energy techniques and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation - work particularly well.
Do you treat runners?
Is massage painful?
What happens at my first appointment
How do I book?
I used to believe that “no pain, no gain” applied to sports massage – but I don’t now. We know much more these days about how the nervous system and pain work. If pressure is too strong, your body can tense up and your nervous system may feel threatened, which can make it harder to relax and increase the pain you are feeling.
A gentler, well‑judged approach still works on muscles and soft tissue, but it also helps your nervous system feel safer and calmer. When your body isn’t bracing or guarding, it’s often easier to ease tension, improve movement and get longer‑lasting relief – without leaving you feeling bruised and battered.
My hours are very flexible so just text or call and I'll do my best to fit you in even if it's at relatively short notice.
Yes. I regularly treat runners of all levels – from beginners doing their first 5K to experienced ultra runners. Sports massage can help ease tight, tired muscles, support recovery between runs, and reduce pain as you build your miles for your next event. As a runner I really know how important it is to maintain consistency and avoid injury!
Paperwork is first (boring but necessary!) I'll chat to you about what issues you have, what you have been doing and how that might have triggered the pain. We might do some joint and muscle tests to figure out exactly what is going on and we chat about what you are hoping to achieve with the massage. The first session often goes on longer than an hour as this history-taking bit is a really important step in working out a treatment plan.
