How Can Sports Massage Help?
Sports Massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the muscles and surrounding soft tissues. It can help relieve feelings of tension and stiffness, improve comfort and support easier movement.
Sports Massage may be particularly beneficial for:
Muscle tightness and tension – helping relieve discomfort in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back and legs.
Stiffness from everyday activities – particularly if you spend long periods sitting at a desk, driving or carrying out repetitive tasks.
Post-exercise muscle soreness – helping you feel more comfortable following exercise or physical activity.
Active lifestyles – supporting muscle comfort and flexibility for people who regularly run, cycle, attend the gym or play sport.
Physically demanding jobs – helping ease muscle tension associated with lifting, manual work or spending long hours on your feet.
General muscle discomfort – providing focused hands-on treatment for areas that feel particularly tight or uncomfortable.
Every Sports Massage is tailored to your needs, whether you’re an experienced athlete, an occasional exerciser or someone simply looking to move more comfortably.
What Happens During a Sports Massage?
Your Sports Massage appointment begins with a brief discussion about any areas of muscle tightness, tension or discomfort, along with your lifestyle, activities and what you’d like to achieve from your treatment.
Chris will then tailor your massage to your individual needs, using a combination of hands-on techniques to work on the muscles and surrounding soft tissues.
Depending on your requirements, treatment may include deeper massage techniques, targeted pressure on areas of muscle tension and gentle stretching.
You don’t need to be experiencing pain or have a sports injury to book a Sports Massage. Many people simply enjoy regular treatment to help ease muscle tension and feel more comfortable.

It can be beneficial for anyone experiencing muscle tightness, tension or stiffness, whether that’s caused by sitting at a desk, driving, physical work, exercise or everyday activities.
Our Sports Massage treatments are tailored to your individual needs, whatever your age, activity level or lifestyle.
Sports Massage doesn’t have to be painful to be effective.
Some techniques involve deeper pressure, particularly when working on areas of muscle tightness or tension, but treatment should always remain within your comfort levels.
Chris will discuss your preferences and adjust the pressure throughout your appointment. If anything feels uncomfortable, just let him know.
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment.
Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to remove some clothing to allow access to the relevant muscles. Towels will be used to maintain your comfort and privacy throughout the treatment.

This depends on your individual needs, lifestyle and reasons for booking.
Some people book occasional Sports Massage appointments when they experience muscle tightness or discomfort, while others prefer regular sessions to help manage tension associated with exercise, work or everyday activities.
There is no fixed schedule that suits everyone. Chris can discuss how often treatment might be beneficial for you, without any obligation to book further appointments.
