Sports Massage

It doesn't matter if you're stiff from sitting at a desk, bending all day in the garden or from a sporting activity; sports massage is for anyone with pain and stiffness.

I hold a Level 3 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy and have experience in treating elite athletes, recreational enthusiasts and workaholics.

I am a mobile therapist (based in Taunton) and will bring my couch to you by appointment.  

What treatments are available?

• Deep Tissue / Remedial Massage to reduce muscle tension in problem areas.
• Maintenance Massage to help you recover from training or competition and avoid tightness building up.
• Pre and Post Event Massage to optimally prepare and recover directly before and after competition. 
• Neck, Shoulder and Back Massage to release tension from the posture of sitting in a car or at a desk all day.

Put off by a previously painful sports massage? You dictate how much pressure you want and can relax with a body massage if you prefer.

Injured? Book a session with me if your Physio recommends sports massage to speed up your recovery.

How long are treatments? Local appointments can be booked for 30, 45 or 60 minutes and can be shared between 2 or 3 clients.

What to expect:

My treatments start with a screening and then involve flowing strokes, kneading the tissues and directing pressure to relieve frictions and trigger points. I will also facilitate stretches and offer post-care advice to maximise the benefits of massage:

• stimulates circulation
• removes metabolic waste products
• reduces blood viscosity and blood pressure
• decongests tissues to speed up their recovery
• reduces muscle stiffness, pain and fatigue 
• increases flexibility and range of movement.
