Your Questions, Answered

  • Sports & remedial massage is a targeted treatment designed to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, aid recovery, and address pain or dysfunction caused by sport, work, injury, or everyday life.

  • Not at all. Despite the name, sports & remedial massage isn’t just for athletes. Many clients seek treatment for back pain, neck and shoulder tension, postural issues, work-related aches, or general muscle tightness.

  • Common issues include muscle tightness, neck and shoulder tension, lower back discomfort, post-exercise soreness, reduced mobility, and overuse injuries.

  • Sports massage focuses on supporting performance, recovery, and injury prevention, while remedial massage aims to assess and treat muscle dysfunction, pain, and movement restrictions. In practice, treatments often combine elements of both depending on your needs.

  • Some techniques can feel intense, especially when working on tight or sensitive areas. Treatment should always remain within a manageable level of discomfort and be tailored to your preferences.

  • Your first session typically includes a discussion of your goals, medical history, current symptoms, activity levels, and an assessment before treatment begins.

  • This depends on your condition and goals. Some clients feel improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.

  • I hold a BTEC Level 5 Professional Diploma in Sports & Remedial Massage from the London School of Sports Massage (LSSM), providing advanced training in assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions.

  • Please wear loose-fitting shorts. Depending on the areas being treated, you may be asked to remove your top to allow access (e.g. shoulders or back). You’ll always be appropriately draped with towels, and your comfort and privacy are a priority.

  • Yes of course. My treatments are primarily focused on reducing pain, improving mobility, and addressing muscle tension. However, treatment can be adapted to use lighter pressure if you prefer a more relaxing experience.
