“After diagnosing what was causing the pain in my shoulder, Sue quickly removed the worst of the pain. Further treatments and suggested exercise fully healed what had been a long term injury. I would definitely use and recommend Sue in the future”

What is sports massage?
Sports massage is a form of soft tissue manipulation specifically designed to help athletes and physically active people by addressing muscle tightness, improving circulation, and aiding in recovery and injury prevention. Unlike regular relaxation massage, sports massage specifically targets areas of tension or discomfort with the goal of improving how your body functions. Our therapists use firm pressure and specialised techniques to release tight muscles, break down knots, and improve and sustain flexibility where you need it most. Despite its name, sports massage isn't just for athletes. It helps anyone experiencing muscle tension, whether from physical activity, work postures, or everyday stress. Our therapists will always explain what they're doing and why, ensuring you understand how the treatment addresses your specific concerns.
