What Can I Expect From My Sports Massage Appointment?​

Initial Consultation
Our sports massage sessions begin with a brief consultation to understand your reason for seeking treatment, understanding your problem areas and specific concerns.  This allows us to treat your problem effectively, ensuring we focus directly on the areas that need attention.
  • 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.

Each treatment session is fully customised to your individual needs. Your sports massage will be delivered by a fully qualified Physiotherapist, skilled in providing effective massage therapy that incorporates deep tissue techniques and trigger point therapy to ensure safe, targeted, and lasting results.

To support ongoing progress and prevent flare-ups, discounted block booking options are available, providing consistent care for your long-term health and 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.

These methods are integrated as needed and are tailored to your individual condition, preferences, and goals. They’re especially useful for chronic tension, stubborn trigger points, or when preparing muscles for deeper work.

Have been to S&C Therapy twice now, once for a sports massage and the other for a running assessment. Had a great experience both times - Charlie is friendly and personable and uses his expertise to find solutions to your problems in a way that is easy to understand and follow. After my running assessment I felt inspired to put into practice the advice Charlie gave to improve my running performance. The practice is well equipped and welcoming, would highly recommend.

Charlie, physio at S&C Therapy is excellent and would highly recommend; I had been experiencing a far amount of discomfort in my shoulder for many months which was hampering/limiting the range of movement but after having a consultation with Charlie and a number of physio treatment session, together with the exercises that Charlie gave me to follow I now experience no discomfort in my shoulder and now have full movement back which allows me to continue my fitness journey. Charlie took time to understand the issue(s) behind the discomfort in my shoulder and treated it accordingly. Thank you Charlie.

By seeing Charlie regularly for both physio and acupuncture for a few months, I’ve been able to dramatically reduce my pain. He’s always helpful, takes time to understand the problem and thinks outside the box to customise your physio exercises and treatment depending on how you’re feeling. Plus the new physio space is great! I would absolutely recommend Charlie and S&C Therapy to anyone

Charlie really took the time to help address my concern over my knee and create a plan to help recover my knee which really took the stress off me and I realised there was a (structured) solution to get better. Just a bit unclear/wasn't well informed on how long full recovery will take.
