Treatment
Sports Massage
Energising, hands-on support for training, recovery, and staying injury-free.
Sports massage is built for active bodies - whether you train regularly, compete, or are simply recovering from an injury. You don't need to be an athlete to benefit: this treatment helps with recovery, injury prevention, and general mobility for anyone whose body needs to move well.
I combine deep tissue techniques with assessment, stretching, and mobilisation, tailored to how your body actually moves rather than a fixed routine. The goal is always the same - help you recover faster, move more freely, and stay ahead of the niggles before they become injuries.

What to Expect
Before, during, and after
Before
- Stay hydrated, and avoid a heavy meal or a lot of caffeine right before your session
- Comfortable clothing helps if part of the session involves movement or assessment
During
- Expect a mix of deep tissue work, stretching, and - where useful - some active movement
- This could include resisting against pressure or moving a joint through its range
After
- Drink plenty of water, and avoid intense exercise for 24 hours if we've worked deeply
- Any stretches or mobility tips are worth sticking with between sessions
"You don't have to be training for anything to get value from a sports massage - I see just as many people dealing with everyday stiffness as I do people in serious training blocks. The approach is the same either way: work out how your body is actually moving, then treat that."- Luke, Redfern Remedial Massage
FAQ
Sports massage questions
Not at all. Sports massage techniques are just as useful for general stiffness, desk-related tension, or old injuries as they are for competitive training.
It uses a lot of the same techniques, but sports massage often involves more active participation - movement, resistance, and assessment - geared toward how your body performs, not just how it feels at rest.
That depends on the event and your training load - as a rule, avoid very deep work in the 48 hours before something important, and use it more for recovery in the days after.
Whatever you're comfortable moving in. Some assessments involve a joint or limb moving through its range, so looser clothing can help.
