Our customised massage treatment and preventative maintenance program, will maximise your athletic p

Over the years, playing a variety of sports has seen me suffer from many niggles and injuries. This triggered an interest in how the body works, the cause of injuries and their prevention. I experienced the benefits of Sports Massage and such was my enthusiasm, I wanted to help others reach their goals. I signed up to train as a Sports Massage Therapist and upon qualifying founded SP Sports massage therapy. My priority from the outset is to get you back to sport progressively, so you can expect assessment, treatment and ‘homework’ – exercises that enable you to play an active role in your rehabilitation.

Frozen shoulder, impingement, rotator cuff ruptures, tennis and golfer’s elbow, repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, migraines, back pain, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, groin strain, hamstring rupture, IT band friction syndrome, patellofemoral pain, shin splints, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis, sprained ankle.

Work can leave your muscles tight and sore, but deep tissue massage offers more than just temporary relief.

By targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, this therapy helps break down chronic tension caused by long hours at a desk or repetitive movements. It not only eases pain but improves posture and mobility—so you feel better throughout your working day and beyond.

Have you noticed persistent neck, shoulder, or back tightness after work? Deep tissue massage might be the key to managing these issues effectively.

Extend the benefits of your massage treatment with simple self-care habits.

Many clients feel relaxed immediately after their session but wonder how to maintain that feeling for longer. The truth is, what you do after a massage is just as important as the treatment itself.

Here are practical tips to help you get the most from your recovery:

• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins released during the massage.
• Warm baths or showers: These soothe muscles and improve circulation.
• Gentle stretching: Keeps muscles flexible and maintains your range of motion.
• Rest and gradual activity: Avoid intense exercise for 24-48 hours to allow your body to heal.
• Mind your posture: Being mindful of how you sit and stand prevents undoing the benefits.

We often see clients experience longer-lasting relief by combining our advanced hands-on therapies with these post-treatment care steps.

Remember, massage is a powerful tool, but your active involvement in self-care makes the difference between temporary relief and lasting recovery.

Cupping therapy is often seen as just a pain relief tool. But did you know it offers so much more?

Beyond easing muscle tension, cupping helps improve circulation, strengthen lymphatic drainage, and boost your body's natural healing process. It can even reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation.

At SP Sports Massage, we combine cupping with advanced techniques like myofascial release to target the root causes of discomfort – not just the symptoms. This holistic approach supports faster recovery, better athletic performance, and lasting wellbeing.

Curious how cupping could fit into your personalised treatment plan? Reach out and let's explore the benefits together.

Cupping therapy isn't just an ancient tradition—it's a powerful tool for modern recovery.

By creating gentle suction, cupping helps increase blood flow, release muscle tension, and speed up healing. This makes it ideal for athletes pushing their limits or anyone struggling with chronic muscle pain.

Curious how an age-old technique can give your body a fresh start? One session might be all it takes to feel deeper relaxation and improved recovery.

Ready to feel the difference? Reach out to us at SP Sports Massage and let's create a personalised plan that works for you.

Why do personalised therapy plans lead to faster, more lasting injury recovery?

Because every body and every injury is unique.

At SP Sports Massage, we begin with a detailed assessment that goes beyond your symptoms. We analyse your posture, muscle imbalances, and movement to uncover the root cause of your pain. This personalised approach isn't about quick fixes—it's about crafting a treatment plan tailored precisely to you.

For example, a regular client from Leeds suffered persistent calf pain that wouldn't fully heal despite trying several treatments. After we developed a bespoke plan combining myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and personalised self-care advice, their recovery accelerated, and they've remained injury-free for over a year.

What does this mean for you? Personalised therapy addresses the source of your discomfort, not just the symptoms. It improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and strengthens vulnerable areas, promoting a quicker and longer-lasting recovery.

Ready to move beyond temporary relief? Let's work together to build a therapy plan that's truly tailored to you.

Simple daily habits can make a significant difference in supporting your sports massage therapy and preventing injury.

At SP Sports Massage, we see many clients benefit not only from expert hands-on treatments but also from small, consistent actions they take every day. These habits help maintain muscle health, improve recovery, and reduce the risk of injury.

Here are some practical daily habits to complement your massage therapy:

• Stay well hydrated – drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins and supports tissue repair.
• Warm up gently before exercise – active stretches prepare muscles and reduce strain.
• Maintain good posture throughout your day – especially if you spend long hours at a desk.
• Use foam rolling or self-myofascial release to ease muscle tightness.
• Prioritise quality sleep – your body heals and regenerates during rest.
• Listen to your body – avoid pushing through persistent pain or discomfort.

Take the example of Tom, an amateur runner who struggled with recurring calf tightness. After adding daily foam rolling and ensuring proper hydration alongside his monthly sports massage sessions, he noticed improved muscle flexibility and fewer injury flare-ups.

Your recovery path doesn't start and end in the clinic. Daily care empowers you to protect your body, improve performance, and extend the benefits of advanced therapies like deep tissue massage and myofascial release.

Is your chronic pain linked to postural imbalances? Many don't realise how much their body alignment affects ongoing discomfort.

Postural imbalances occur when muscles and joints aren't aligned properly, often due to habits like sitting at a desk all day or repetitive sports movements. Over time, this misalignment places uneven stress on the body, leading to chronic pain in the back, neck, hips, or shoulders.

At SP Sports Massage, we focus on identifying these imbalances during your initial assessment. For example, we recently worked with a runner whose persistent hip and lower back pain was traced back to a subtle pelvic tilt. By combining myofascial release and targeted deep tissue techniques, we helped restore her alignment, reducing pain and improving mobility.

Understanding the root cause of your pain is crucial. Treating symptoms alone often means the problem returns. Our personalised treatment plans address the underlying postural issues, promoting lasting relief and preventing future injury.

If you're tired of short-term fixes and want to explore how correcting your posture can ease chronic pain, let's talk. What postural habits do you think might be affecting your body? Share your thoughts below or book an assessment to begin your path to lasting pain relief.
