Sports massage focuses on the needs of athletes and active people, helping with training, recovery and keeping the body moving well. Remedial massage is a broader therapeutic approach for everyday muscular aches, tightness and stiffness. In practice I often blend the two, based on what your body needs.
It can help you feel more mobile and prepared before activity, ease muscle soreness afterwards, and support your recovery between training sessions.
It can help with everyday muscle pain, tightness, stiffness, strains, postural tension and general aches. If you're dealing with something persistent, I'm always happy to talk through whether massage is a good fit for you.
Not at all. Plenty of people come simply because they feel stiff, tense or run-down, no injury required.
No. It's just as useful for weekend runners, gym-goers and anyone who's active, whatever your level.
It depends on how active you are and what you're hoping to get from it. Some people come regularly, others as and when they need it. We can work out what suits you.
It can be firm, and you might feel some discomfort, but it should never be overly painful. I'll always check in with you and work at a pressure that's right for you.
Many people find regular massage helps them feel more comfortable and manage persistent tension. For anything ongoing, I'd always suggest keeping your GP in the loop too, so we're working alongside your wider care.
Yes. Massage works well alongside things like stretching, foam rolling, and treatment from other practitioners such as physiotherapists.
Both work well. Beforehand it can help warm the muscles up, and afterwards it can aid recovery and ease post-workout soreness.

A very gentle, rhythmic massage that supports your body's natural circulation and can help you feel lighter and less puffy.
People often find it helpful for general puffiness and swelling, and as support during recovery after surgery, always alongside your medical team where relevant.
It uses much lighter, rhythmic pressure, rather than the firmer work of a sports or remedial massage. It's a gentler, more soothing experience.
It's gentle and suits most people, but if you have a medical condition such as heart problems or an active infection, please check with your doctor first, and let me know so I can look after you properly.
Yes, it can be safe and welcome during pregnancy, but it's important to work with a therapist experienced in prenatal massage, which I am. Please do check with your doctor before any massage during pregnancy.
