What to Expect from Sports Massage Therapy

“What to expect from your sports massage session:

• Targeted assessment — We look at how you move to understand what’s tight, restricted or overworked.
• Deep tissue & targeted techniques — Focused work on the muscles that need it most.
• A mix of pressure — Some areas may feel intense, but never painful or unsafe.
• Improved mobility — You’ll often feel lighter, looser and able to move more freely afterward.
• Personalised advice — Stretches, mobility work or recovery tips to support your progress between sessions.

Sports massage is designed to help your body feel, move and perform better — not just today, but long term.”

Move better, recover faster.
That’s the goal of every sports massage session I deliver.

Whether you’re lifting, running, cycling, or just feeling the effects of day-to-day tension, targeted soft-tissue work can help you:
• Reduce tightness
• Improve mobility
• Speed up recovery
• Prevent recurring niggles

Your body works hard — give it what it needs to keep moving well.
If you’re feeling stiff, sore or not performing at your best, I’ve got you.

I’m currently on annual leave until Monday 2nd November

We are now offering an addition service to all clients. Compression recovery boots.

If you find that you’re always feeling pretty stiff after doing sports, it could be the case that you need to see a massage therapist, that’s where I come. It’s a sign that your body is not really recovering properly and massages can help with that.

Happy New Year to all my amazing clients and friends, here’s to a great one. See you all soon

Let’s talk about Expectations Vs Reality

I have many clients who have an unrealistic outlook on sports massage therapy, and what they will gain from it. So, I am here to provide some insight which will help not just you, but also myself with your care plan.

Here are just a few examples of what I hear:

Expectation - “My sports massage is going to be some relaxation time for me”

Reality - Just because it’s called a massage, doesn’t mean it will be relaxing. If you want pure relaxation time, then a Swedish Massage is probably more your thing.

Expectation - “My massage will rid me of pain”

Reality - Sometimes clients will experience some pain after their treatment and this can be for various reasons. It is normal.

Here are some considerations when setting expectations:

◻️ Duration of the pain/issue - chronic conditions are much harder for me to resolve

◻️ Pain intensity - severe pain will be much harder to ease

◻️ Additional medical problems - there are many issues we can feel as therapists in the body, however, will not be able to treat, for example kidney stones, infections, appendix grumbles

◻️ Stress levels - stress can cause havoc on muscle tension, certain types of massage are more conducive to stress, however some can cause further stress on the muscles

◻️ Time - plan ahead and arrive on time if not early to your appointment, that way you won’t arrive feeling stressed out

◻️ Communication - something I want everyone to take note of, please communicate with me if the pressure isn’t right, if the music is annoying, if the temperature in the room isn’t right. I need to know these things to ensure you are in a relaxed state

◻️ Rehab - to help with your muscle recovery, homework is sometimes set for you to continue certain stretches to quicken your recovery at home. I can only do so much, massage alone will likely not cure the problem entirely

And finally…

◻️ Personal care & clothing - I have had so many clients apologise for being sweaty straight from a workout, or haven’t shaved their legs, feeling self-conscious for showing skin. Newsflash! I do not care! I have seen it all before

Thank you for listening 👍
