Cloverfields Sports Massage Therapy

Coming for your first session can sometimes feel daunting, especially if you’ve never had Sports Therapy before. Understandably, some clients come in very nervous and worried that they’ll be trying to crawl off the table to escape the pain inflicted on them! That’s not the case, and here’s a few things to expect from your session:

Each treatment starts with a chat - to find out if you are in pain or feeling achey anywhere; what your day-to-day life is like; a bit about your history to gain an insight to anything which may be relevant to any pain or tension that you’re experiencing; and most importantly to talk about what you want from the session (with a bit of guidance from me if you’re experiencing pain).

Some people come for an escape from the busy world and want a more relaxing style deep tissue massage; others are nervous so need more understanding and sometimes lighter pressure; while others want whatever it takes to get rid of the pain or tension they are feeling.

No matter what you come for, I will always apply a pressure which you’re happy with - if you feel it’s too much, then tell me and we’ll adjust the session. Sports massage doesn’t have to be painful or deep to be effective - the aim is to relax the muscles which are causing the tension and that’s not going to happen if you’re feeling tense in more pain!

Most importantly, no one size fits all!

Sitting at a desk all day? If you’re experiencing neck pain, you’re not alone! Those hours in front of a screen can leave us with:

💻 tight shoulders that feel like they’re up by our ears;

💻 a stiff back that aches by the evening;

💻 a neck that clicks when you turn it (if you can manage to turn it freely at all!);

💻 headaches caused by tension in the neck and tops of your shoulders.

Sports massage and sports therapy isn’t just for athletes - it’s for anyone who wants to undo the toll of everyday life. Lots of my clients work in offices or in front of a computer at home.

My availability for the next few weeks - I’m already taking bookings for the beginning of December so get in touch if you have been hoping to book. I can always add you to the cancellation list too in case something comes up last minute!

Sometimes people ask why I do what I do - and honestly, as corny as it sounds, it’s because I love helping people feel better! Especially when they feel like the pain or discomfort that they’ve been feeling for so long will never end.

It’s following someone’s journey to make a difference in their lives - whether as a committed gym-goer or athlete, doing their first marathon, or to those making steps to move more often but sometimes lacking the motivation.

I love seeing people walk out of the treatment room feeling lighter and moving easier. It’s how you make me smile with the small, sometimes quirky, ways to describe how much better clients are feeling straight after their massage and how quickly they forget the pain that they were in at the last session when they walk back in the next time! 😁

A few appointments left for this month but I also have a few emergency appointments available if you’re struggling. Message, phone or email me if you’d like to book!

Thank you to all my clients - new and existing - for your patience over the last six weeks. I am back to normal working hours and still have a few slots available for September. If you have contacted me and I’ve still not replied please try again - I have had some problems with my phone in the last couple of weeks but believe it is all sorted now.

I love the little quotes that come from my clients after a session with me - they always put a smile on my face and each one of you finds a different way of expressing how much better you feel (albeit sometimes a teeny bit tender!) after the tension has been released!
