Sports massage is a focused deep tissue treatment designed to improve performance, reduce muscular tightness, and support recovery from training or everyday activity.
At REACH Therapies, I provide mobile sports massage therapy for athletes, runners, office workers, and anyone experiencing muscular tension, stiffness, or fatigue.
Each treatment is tailored to your specific needs — whether you’re preparing for a sporting event, recovering afterwards, or managing the physical demands of daily life. Through a combination of deep tissue techniques, stretching, and focused pressure, sports massage helps improve flexibility, boost circulation, and promote faster healing.
Any effective sports massage should include a postural assessment prior to any treatment.
A postural assessment is a detailed observation and analysis of how your body aligns and moves. By looking at your posture from different angles — standing, sitting, and during movement — I can identify muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and areas of overuse or weakness.
These insights form the foundation for a tailored treatment plan, which may include sports massage, stretching techniques, and personalised movement advice to restore balance and improve function.
What to Expect During Your Session
Each session begins with a friendly consultation to discuss your lifestyle, physical activity, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. I’ll then assess your posture through a series of gentle observations and movements, focusing on how your muscles and joints work together.
You’ll receive clear feedback and practical advice — including stretches, strengthening techniques, and tailored recommendations — to help you maintain correct posture in everyday life.
For ongoing support, I may suggest follow-up treatments to release tension, improve mobility, and reinforce postural alignment.
