Sports Therapy
I am a qualified Sports Massage Therapist, however, I approach each treatment with a holistic perspective. As a herbalist, I recognise the body as an interconnected system, not just muscles and bones, and I tailor every session to meet your specific needs.
If you are seeking postural maintenance and injury prevention, consider booking a sports massage or deep tissue session. Together, we will work to find the right balance between targeted treatment, muscle relaxation, and promoting healing through trigger point therapy.
For those needing a break from a busy lifestyle, a relaxing massage offers an opportunity to disconnect from external stresses and reconnect with your body. This experience leaves you feeling lighter, more positive, and renewed.

FAQs
What is the difference between sports massage and relaxing massage?
Sports massage focuses on muscles, tendons, and joints to prevent injury, improve flexibility, and support recovery. Relaxing massage prioritizes stress relief and overall relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system and rejuvenate the mind and body.
How often should I get a sports massage?
Frequency depends on your activity level and personal goals. Athletes or those with specific issues may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions, while others may find monthly treatments sufficient for maintenance.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session will begin with a consultation to discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals. The massage will then be tailored to your needs, combining techniques that provide both treatment and relaxation.
Are there any conditions that prevent me from receiving a massage?
Certain conditions such as open wounds, infections, severe osteoporosis, or uncontrolled high blood pressure may require postponing massage therapy. Always disclose your medical history to ensure safe treatment.
Can massage help with chronic pain?
Yes, massage therapy can help alleviate chronic pain by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
Deep tissue massage can be intense but should not be overly painful. Communication during the session is essential to ensure pressure is comfortable and effective.
