What I treat
Hands-on treatment for the aches, tightness and niggles that come with training, and with everyday life.
Deep tissue massage
Slower, deeper pressure for stubborn tightness and knots that have built up over weeks. You stay in charge of the pressure the whole way through.
More about deep tissue massageCupping
Cups that gently lift the skin and muscle rather than pressing into them, used alongside massage on tight, stubborn areas.
More about cuppingInjury advice and aftercare
Straight advice on what is going on, with stretches and aftercare to do at home, so the good work carries on between sessions.
More about injury adviceMade for people who train
I work with runners, footballers and gym goers: people whose bodies take a lot of load every week, and who want to keep training rather than sit it out.
You do not need to be competing to book. If training, work or long days on your feet have left you tight and sore, a session will help.
- Runners: calves, hamstrings, hips and the niggles that creep in as the miles go up.
- Footballers: recovery after match day, and the tight quads, groins and hamstrings that come with it.
- Gym goers: shoulders, backs and legs that have been worked hard under load.

Questions people ask
Do I need to be an athlete to book?
No. Sports massage suits anyone who trains, plays or spends long days on their feet or at a desk. If something feels tight, stiff or sore, it is worth booking.
Does sports massage hurt?
It can feel firm, especially on tight areas, but it should never be more than you are comfortable with. You are in charge of the pressure the whole way through, so just say if you want it lighter or deeper.
Which treatment length should I book?
Thirty minutes is enough for one or two areas, such as calves or neck and shoulders. Forty-five minutes gives time to work properly on a couple of areas. An hour suits back and legs together, or a thorough session after a race or a big week of training.
What should I wear?
Shorts and a vest top or T-shirt are ideal. You only need to uncover the area being treated.
How do I pay?
You pay by card when you book online. If you need to change your appointment, use the link in your confirmation email or give me a ring.
