What is Sports Massage ?
Sports Massage covers the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body e.g. muscles, ligaments and tendons.
It is usually a firm, and deep massage concentrating on the circulatory and drainage systems of the body and changing the resting tone of muscles.
Sports Massage can help at many levels - Boost Sporting Performance
- Aid & Boost Recovery Time

- Resolve many common sporting injuries including pain at the elbow and shoulder
- Increase sporting recovery

Is it only for people who are involved in sport?Sports Massage can help with elite and recreational athletes for conditioning, training and injury recovery.
It can also however help the more sedentary amongst us! For example, anyone who sits in front of a PC for too long will know how good it feels to have their shoulders and back worked out!
Who can benefit from Sports Massage?
Most people of any age can benefit.
What to expect during a consultation
I will take down some basic details in the case history, to choose an appropriate massage approach to best suit your complaint.
You will then be asked to undress, in some cases to your underwear. Towels are used to protect modesty.
I will explain the techniques I would like to use, and make sure you are happy for me to precede.
During the massage you may be asked to lie on your back, front or side, but if any of these positions is difficult, an alternative approach can always be found.
Massage techniques may involve movements across your skin, applying pressure at specific points or moving joints and occasionally, stretching is used.
What other massage treatments are available?
I am ITEC trained in holistic, deep tissue, swedish, hot stone, chair, remedial and relaxation massage. I use aromatherapy blends with grape seed oil and warm towels.
