Advanced Sports Massage Solutions

In the early days of my sports massage career, the commonly held belief was that effective treatment required a tough and painful approach to break down ‘scar tissue’ and ‘knots’. However, modern research has debunked this myth, highlighting that massage need not be an ordeal. Additionally, it has revealed that massage isn’t exclusive for athletes, and ‘deep’ massage doesn’t necessarily hold more benefits than a standard massage (though deep tissue massage remains beneficial for those who prefer this style).

At our clinic, we go beyond the traditional notion of sports massage. Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment, providing a clear understanding of your specific needs rather than simply addressing the sore areas. We utilize a range of massage techniques and equipment, allowing us to tailor our methods to your unique requirements, ensuring a more effective and personalised treatment.  Our philosophy challenges the misconception that massage must be painful to yield results, prioritising your comfort and overall well-being.

How we use massage

We adapt the use of massage to address your individual needs, which can include: relief for ongoing pain, incorporating massage as part of a full rehab programme for pain/performance issues, and offering pre & post event massage for sports events such as races. Our focus is on delivering effective and personalised results for your well-being.

Choose the treatment that works for you

There are various ways we can apply sports massage to provide you with the benefits you need. The days of digging in with an elbow as much as possible are over. 

After conducting your assessment, we can explore which form of treatment will be most suitable and effective for you, ensuring it delivers maximal benefit.
