Sports Therapy
Sports massage, if applied correctly, is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system. Received regularly this may help athletes prevent injuries, which might otherwise be caused through overuse. Sports massage is more of a quick fix than a ‘fixer-upper’, but when combined with healthy eating, enough sleep and stretching, it keeps your body supple, strong and flexible.
Sports massage is not just for athletes and sports persons as there are many benefiting health factors as well such as; improved circulation, improved flexibility and has even been proven to improve sleep.
Personal training with us guarantees results – be it weight loss, improved fitness, or simply being fit for life.

Correct posture helps muscles function properly, decreases abnormal wear of joints that could lead to arthritis, prevents backaches and muscular pain, reduces fatigue and contributes to a good appearance.
Out of 24 hours, approximately 8 hours are spent lying down or sleeping, 14 hours sitting up (breakfast table, desk, car, dining table, sofa) and 2 hours standing. This may be one of the contributing factors if you lack good posture. However this can be addressed through massage, stretching and a change of lifestyle.
Sports massage can relax and loosen the muscles which are made sore by bad posture, allowing your body to position itself in its natural and pain free state. With ongoing massage, the muscles are loosened and relaxed joints have greater freedom. This allows the body to position itself in a healthy and natural posture, therefore avoiding negative movements and positions developed over time as a reaction to the pain.
Pre and Post event sports massage is specifically designed to help an athlete perform at their best, and to recover as quickly and effectively as possible after their event. Anyone taking part in any sport at any level will benefit from a pre and post event massage.
We will turn up at your event or sports club with everything we need; all we require from you is a space in a tent, hall or changing room. We will arrive before the start, set up our massage table(s) and we won’t leave until we are sure everyone who wants a massage has been treated. The day can be organised in many ways depending on your wishes but the most popular ways are as follows:-
– The event/club will pay a fixed fee to us for the whole event/match and any athletes that need or want a massage are welcome.
– The event/club pays no fee but each athlete pays a small charge for receiving a massage. It works simply with each athlete adding their name to our list when they finish the event and we massage on a first come first served basis.
In all cases, each athlete will receive a 10-15min massage and also be given some water to rehydrate and aid recovery of the muscles.
