​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. We use a combination of techniques that have been developed to ensure effective and efficient results are gained from each treatment. These include:

Feeling tense during your deep tissue massage?

Breathing can make all the difference. Try slow, deep breaths to help your muscles relax and ease discomfort. Focus on exhaling fully to release tension.

Chronic muscle pain can feel like an unwelcome companion that just won't leave. But what if targeted deep tissue massage could finally offer the relief you've been searching for?

At SP Sports Massage, we've witnessed firsthand how personalised deep tissue sessions change lives. Take Sarah, a local runner plagued by persistent calf tightness and knee discomfort. After just three sessions of focused myofascial release and trigger point therapy, she reported not only significant pain reduction but also improved mobility that allowed her to hit new personal bests.

Or consider James, an office worker with chronic shoulder stiffness from long hours at his desk. Through a rehabilitative deep tissue massage plan tailored to his posture and muscle imbalances, he experienced lasting relief and greater ease in daily movement.

These stories highlight a crucial insight: effective pain relief stems from addressing the root cause, not just masking symptoms. Our personalised assessments pinpoint the exact imbalances and muscle tensions, allowing us to apply advanced techniques like deep tissue release and muscle energy work that truly make a difference.

If you're tired of temporary fixes and want to explore a proven path to lasting relief and improved function, why not start by empowering yourself with knowledge?

Is your body warning you of injury ahead?

Our bodies often send subtle signals before an injury occurs, but recognising these early signs can be challenging. Ignoring them may lead to chronic pain or setbacks in your athletic performance.

Take, for example, a runner who noticed slight tightness in the calf but dismissed it as normal fatigue. Within weeks, that tightness evolved into a strain requiring weeks of rest.

Understanding and decoding these early signals allows you to take preventative action—whether through tailored sports massage, myofascial release, or other therapies—to avoid full-blown injuries.

Listening to your body's whispers today means fewer interruptions tomorrow. What subtle signs have you noticed but not yet acted upon?

Are you drinking enough for effective muscle recovery?

Hydration plays a crucial but often overlooked role in how well your muscles heal after therapy and exercise. Without proper fluids, tissues stay stiff, soreness lingers longer, and your massage or treatment won't reach its full potential.

Next time you book a session at SP Sports Massage, remember that water is part of your recovery plan. Drink regularly before and after your treatment to help flush out toxins and keep your muscles supple.

Feel the difference that hydration can make to your therapy results and overall wellbeing.

Have you tried combining deep tissue massage with mindful breathing?

Combining these two powerful practices does more than just relieve muscle tension. Mindful breathing during deep tissue massage helps regulate your nervous system, improving relaxation and allowing deeper release of muscle knots.

For example, clients at SP Sports Massage often report feeling not only less pain but also a heightened sense of calm and improved breathing after treatment. This combination accelerates recovery and reduces stress-related muscle tightness.

What does this mean for you? By integrating mindful breathing into your deep tissue sessions, you can achieve longer-lasting relief and a more holistic healing experience.

Is your body telling you it needs help?

Muscles often send subtle signals before pain becomes obvious. Tightness, occasional cramps, reduced flexibility, or unexplained fatigue could mean your muscles are silently struggling.

At SP Sports Massage, we specialise in finding and treating these hidden issues through personalised hands-on therapies like deep tissue massage and myofascial release.

Listen to your body before discomfort takes over—your path to lasting relief starts here. Ready to feel the difference?

Do you know the signs of hidden muscle tension?

Many people ignore subtle muscle tightness until it becomes chronic pain. At SP Sports Massage, we help you spot the early warning signs before discomfort escalates.

Common indicators include persistent stiffness, unusual fatigue in muscles, and slight aches after activity that don't improve with rest. These are often hidden because the body adapts to tension over time.

For example, a runner might dismiss tight calves as normal soreness, but untreated, this can lead to more serious issues like tendonitis or back pain.

Understanding and addressing muscle tension early means you avoid long-term pain and improve your performance and wellbeing. Our personalised assessments target these hidden areas with advanced techniques like myofascial release and deep tissue massage.

Have you noticed any subtle muscle tightness lately? Don't wait for pain to worsen—early intervention is key to lasting relief and recovery.

Is your posture quietly undermining your recovery?

Poor posture often goes unnoticed but can be a major cause of chronic pain and delayed healing. Over time, your body adapts to these habits, making discomfort feel 'normal' – but it's not.

Simple adjustments like maintaining a neutral spine, avoiding prolonged slouching, and regular stretching can ease tension and support lasting relief.

At SP Sports Massage, we start every treatment with a full postural assessment. This helps us tailor therapies that address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Don't let poor posture hold you back any longer. Small changes today can prevent chronic pain tomorrow.

Chronic pain isn't just about discomfort—it's about how it limits your life, day after day.

At SP Sports Massage, we don't settle for temporary fixes. Our advanced hands-on therapies target the root causes of chronic muscular pain, using techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.

Here's how we approach lasting relief:

• A personalised assessment to understand your unique pain pattern and body alignment.
• Targeted therapies that release tension, improve mobility, and break down scar tissue.
• Techniques that stimulate healing and reduce inflammation for long-term benefits.

Take Jane, a local runner who struggled with persistent calf pain despite trying various treatments. After a tailored programme combining myofascial release and deep tissue therapy, she regained her mobility and returned to running pain-free within weeks.

What this means for you: chronic pain doesn't have to be a life sentence. With expert care focused on your body's needs, recovery is possible.

Are you ready to stop managing pain and start living fully again? Let's create a personalised therapy plan that works for you.
