SPORTS MASSAGE
Sport massage treatment uses soft and deep tissue massage and muscle energy techniques to soothe training niggles and manage fatigue during training, pre or post event. Whether you're simply an active person or you're a competitive athlete needing regular maintenance this will improve your flexibility, muscular performance and longevity.
SPORTS THERAPY
Leah will assess the cause of your musculoskeletal injury and you'll receive targeted treatment for short and long term relief of your symptoms. Simple strength and conditioning stretches and exercises are given you can do at home to further rehabilitate, similarly to what you might expect from a physiotherapist.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm pressure similar to Thai or Swedish massage, to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, helping to release chronic tension, ease stubborn knots and improve mobility. It’s ideal for anyone dealing with persistent aches, postural strain or tight muscles from training or a desk-bound day, leaving you feeling looser, lighter and properly restored.
MYOFASCIAL CUPPING
Suction cups are applied on areas of musculoskeletal or fascial tension and moved over the surface in a gliding motion or left on for a short period of time. This improves flexibility of chronically shortened connective and soft tissues. This greatly relieves pain and hugely improves posture.
REGULAR MASSAGE
Whether you’re training for a marathon or sportive, playing for your local club or lifting weights several times a week, regular sports massage and sports therapy can relieve tight, overworked muscles, improve flexibility and range of movement, and help manage niggles before they become injuries stopping you doing what you love.
RELAXATION MASSAGE
A combination of soft and medium pressure to help you recover from the daily stresses affecting your body, whether you have recurring back, neck and shoulder pain from desk work or you just need a little self care and time out. Massage can reduce your stress levels, improve your mood and boost your energy.

REVIEWS & FEEDBACK
5*
I would thoroughly recommend Annie for sports massage and general sports therapy. She is very knowledgeable about many aspects of therapy and also general fitness and training. I have had pre and post event massage on my legs and specific massage on a sore back and stiff shoulders, all very successful.

I had already seen a physio for a trapped redial nerve which had started to free but all the muscles in the shoulder were still in protection mode and very tight. Annie went to work on my shoulder injury and certainly helped relax the muscles and ease the pain. I would definitely recommend a visit to Annie to sort out all the injuries and niggles, and I will be back, But hopefully not to often :)

I had a 60 minute free consultation with Annie. She was very thorough, discussed the history of my foot injury and determined I could have mild plantar fasciitis. I’ve been unlucky to inherit wide feet and bunions! After pointing out the area of my feet weakness, I had a relaxing foot and calf massage. I’m pretty sure the treatment benefited my run the next morning. I look forward to seeing Annie again for my next session.
