How sports massage helps you
- Enhances both athletic and everyday performance: Designed to support the demands of an active lifestyle, sports massage improves mobility, flexibility, and overall physical function.
- Reduces muscular aches and pains: Whether from intense workouts, prolonged sitting, or repetitive movements, muscle tension and soreness can build up over time. Sports massage targets these problem areas, helping to relieve pain and restore balance to the body.
- Boosts circulation and accelerates recovery: Proven to increase blood flow to damaged or fatigued areas, sports massage promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and helps the body recover more efficiently after exertion or injury.
- Supports overall wellbeing: By relieving muscular tension, reducing stress, and improving movement, sports massage plays a vital role in enhancing both physical and mental wellbeing.

Enhanced Techniques: Massage Tools & Heat Therapy
To further support your recovery and elevate the effectiveness of your sports massage, we may incorporate advanced tools and techniques, including:
Massage Tools
We utilise specialised tools, incorporating vibration therapy and trigger point therapy to target deeper layers of muscle tissue, break down adhesions, and stimulate blood flow. These tools allow for more precise treatment and can accelerate your recovery when used alongside hands-on techniques.
Heat Therapy
Applying heat before or during your massage helps increase circulation, soften tight tissues, and reduce stiffness and soreness. Our unique heat packs allow us to work directly on the area while the heat is applied, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment. This means deeper relief, better muscle release, and a more soothing experience overall. Whether used as a warm-up or integrated into the session, heat therapy elevates your massage to the next level.

Inspiring stories of health and healing
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie paid good attention to my daughter's ongoing knee issue and checked everything out to give us peace of mind. He advised of potential causes and gave practical advice and ideas including daily exercises to help support and strengthen. Charlie was approachable, professional and thorough, especially in dealing with a child (9 years old). I would definitely use him again in the future and recommend his services. Amy Kingswell2025-07-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie had been brilliant at understanding and explaining my enduring knee pain.

As a semi-retired person, I saw Charlie for issues with my knees which meant I was nervous running. He sorted out exercises to improve my muscles to help support the knees. Thanks to Charlie, I am now comfortable running again! Jane Anderson2025-05-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie is an amazing human and an even better physio! He is incredibly adaptable to all my challenges and needs and is always open to learning what works for me and changing my plan. I could not recommend him more. Neil Shah2025-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great treatment and assessment of my back injury very helpful with advice. Tom Clayton2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I discovered Charlie when looking for somewhere to go to help with a long standing shoulder injury… hoping I had found someone good. I had! Charlie did an excellent job getting deep into some very grumpy tissue. At the outset he did some assessments on my strength and range of motion rather than just diving in. He was also super helpful with suggesting stretches and exercises I can do to help me with continuing to keep on top of it myself. All in all, I am glad I picked Charlie for my treatment. He’s a very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful young man. If you’re looking for physiotherapy, sports massage or acupuncture and you’ve found this page, you’re in the right place. Just book your appointment! Helen Paice2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie was a brilliant. I put my back out moving some chest of drawers and could barely stand up straight. Charlie got me moving again and gave me some gentle exercises to help me build up my strength again. Super lovely guy, I would recommend S&C therapy to anyone! Dominic Read2024-06-30
