MPS Sports Massage

Never had a sports massage before and not sure what actually happens? Here’s the honest rundown.

We start with a quick chat. What’s going on, what you’re hoping to get out of it, anything I should know before we start.

Then an assessment, to actually work out what’s going on rather than guessing.

After that, it’s hands-on — working through the area, or areas, that need it. Pressure’s adjusted to you throughout, not just set and left.

Toward the end, I’ll usually talk you through what I found and why, plus anything worth doing yourself in between visits.

No surprises, nothing sprung on you. Just a proper look at what’s going on, start to finish.

Message me INFO if that takes the mystery out of it enough to give it a go.

We talk about the common question of cost and why focusing on the root cause rather than temporary fixes saves time and money in the long run. I explain that it’s not about being the cheapest, but about being worth it.

We talk about how often to book a sports massage based on your training intensity and specific needs. For hard training, every three to four weeks helps prevent issues. For specific problems, schedule sessions close together then space them out. For general maintenance, monthly is often enough, but more than once a month can be beneficial. It’s less about a fixed rule and more about listening to your body.

We talk about how booking a session only when you’re in pain isn’t the ideal approach. Regular maintenance sessions help catch tautness and imbalances early, especially for those who train consistently. We encourage trying it before something forces the issue.

I share a client review that validates everything I’ve said about lymphatic drainage. After two sessions, they felt more energized, less bloated, with reduced water retention and more defined jawlines. They’re booking monthly to maintain results. This feedback proves the theory works in practice.

We talk about the isolating experience of living with invisible chronic pain, where the lack of visible signs leads others to doubt or dismiss your suffering. We emphasize that the gap between how you look and how you feel is exhausting, and that being believed is the first crucial step toward healing.

We talk about five common examples where pain originates from a different area than where it’s felt, including tight hips causing lower back pain, shoulder dysfunction leading to elbow pain, a stiff upper back causing tension headaches, weak glutes showing as hamstring tightness, and a restricted angle indicating an issue further up the chain. We explain why treating just the sore spot often fails because the actual cause is elsewhere.
