Positively enhancing your sport, work and life


I offer the following treatments:

1. Sports & Remedial Massage, incorporating the Hendrickson Method of Orthopaedic Massage and Manual Therapy
You don’t have to be a sports person to benefit from this type of treatment - in fact, many people who come to me have aches and pains caused by postural bad habits from working at computers, driving for a living, having strenuous jobs or hobbies like sewing and knitting!

So sporty and non-sporty people alike can suffer from conditions such as headaches, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel and most commonly back, neck, shoulder and knee pain; all of which can be eased with massage therapy and a general overhaul of a person’s postural bad habits.

Many soft-tissue problems are caused by one set of muscles being stronger than their opposing set, which throws our bones and joints out of alignment. To help correct this imbalance, I combine specific work to release tight muscles and strengthen/reawaken weak muscles, together with exercises that can be continued at home.

I have also found that the Hendrickson Method has helped people with chronic pain conditions such as Fibromyalgia and arthritis.

For your first session, please bring or wear light clothing – for example jogging trousers, leggings (not too tight, please) and a stretchy T-shirt/top. This initial appointment lasts roughly 1 hour 25mins, during which time I take a full personal and medical history. This is followed by practical, hands-on work - part assessment/part treatment - after which I’ll use my findings to devise a bespoke treatment plan.

Follow-up treatments are for up to 55mins. I may use solely Hendrickson Method techniques, or more traditional oil massage… or a mixture of both.

How many treatments will I need? It is impossible to know how many treatments will be required - it depends on the severity of the problem, how long you’ve suffered with it, and how your body responds to the treatment. Generally we say that a difference should be noted after three sessions and I’ll update/tailor the treatment plan as necessary. Sometimes, we’ll help to alleviate the initial problem only for this to reveal a deeper, underlying issue!

2. General/Maintenance Sports Massage
For those who have no specific ‘issues’ and prefer a more traditional massage with oil. Using myofascial release and deep-tissue techniques; therapeutic stretching, including PNF/MET (resistance) release. Post-event 'recovery' massage also available.

3. Relaxation massage, including Hawaiian LomiLomi
I was extremely lucky to undertake my very first massage training course on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Maui; and as part of my course, I was taught LomiLomi (the Hawaiian word for ‘massage’). This traditional form of massage from the islands of Aloha is flowing, rhythmic and wonderfully relaxing. During the massage, a combination of soothing Hawaiian tunes and scented oil will transport you to your very own private paradise isle, a perfect getaway from the stresses and strains of everyday life.
