Elliot Heath - Sports Massage Therapist

My favourite way to spend a Sunday

Exciting news! I will be offering sports therapy treatments as of next week.

I will be there Thursday to Saturday every week.

I trained at RWF a few years back during my powerlifting years. Derran and the team have recently moved into a newly refurbished space with onsite parking and they’ve even added a ‘business hub’ so that you can work away from home if needed!

You can use the link in my bio to book in or get in touch directly.

Really looking forward to seeing new and existing client there soon!

— SPORTS MASSAGE MYTHS —

There are loads of misconceptions about sports massage and the benefits it can bring so, I thought I would shed some light on a few of them.

❌ It breaks down scar tissue ❌

No matter how hard we try we can’t break down scar tissue.

We can however effect the muscle tissue around it. This can positively affect mobility and aid injury recovery.

❌ It has to hurt to be effective ❌

It used to be a badge of honour to see a massage therapist and leave feeling like you’ve gone 12 rounds with Mike.

Some level of discomfort is to be expected during a sports massage treatment but for the best results we work to a maximum threshold of discomfort (outlined by you, the client). Working within this range helps keep you and the target muscles relaxed during treatment.

❌ One treatment will fix everything ❌

I wish this one was true! I would love for all of my clients to leave their first session 100% pain free but more often than not injuries have developed over time and will take a while to heal fully. Incorporating regular massage into your recovery/maintenance routine is key, especially if you are training a lot or have a manual job.

If you would like to know more about how sports massage actually works and how it can help you, drop me message!

— MOBILITY GAINS AFTER JUST ONE TREATMENT! —

Marc came to see me because he was having issues getting into the correct position when deadlifting. Having tested his mobility we found that his hamstrings, glutes and lower back muscles were tight.

Tight muscles are not able to generate as much force and can hinder performance. Often an immediate increase in strength can be seen following massage treatment!

The second photo is post treatment 👊🏼👊🏼

— AMAZING RESULTS FOR MY CLIENT IN JUST 3 APPOINTMENTS —

Justin came to me with discomfort in his shoulders particularly when training in the gym. He had super tight lats and biceps that stopped him from extending his arms overhead. He also struggled to externally rotate his shoulders - this is really important when training in the gym as well as maintaining good posture. Justin drives a lot for work and when he isn’t driving he is sat at a desk working from a computer. These issues, caused by day to day tasks, are really common and I see a number of clients with similar posture related problems.

I offered some advice for training in the gym alongside delivering treatment to the affected areas. Justin fed back to me that he can now lift in the gym pain free and is applying the training tips I have given to him.

The treatment I offer is more than just a massage and the results speak for themselves.

Everyone can improve their posture and performance in the gym!

Lots of my clients struggle with posture related issues. Generally these problems stem from working in a seated position either at a desk (or on the sofa as a result of the CV19 pandemic), looking at their phones for extended periods or working in a position that puts their arms in front of them.

This can lead to tight chest (pectoral) and shoulder (deltoid) muscles and achey upper back muscles (trapezius and rhomboids, etc). Giving the appearance of rounded shoulders.

In some cases the head sits in a forward position (tech neck) which causes strain on the muscles in the neck.

This rounded position is sometimes referred to as Postural Kyphosis and it can have an impact on performance, athleticism and day to day well being.

The good news is that the issues can all be corrected with soft tissue treatment and corrective exercises to help strengthen the weakened muscles!

I am still running an introductory offer for all new clients - 25% discount applied to your 1st session (£30 instead of £40/hour)

Get in touch to book in a session which includes full postural assessment and follow up plan.

Did you come out of the blocks too quickly now that the gyms are back open?

Have you had ongoing pain or discomfort throughout lockdown?

Spent too much time sat at your desk while working from home?

All of the above factors can leave you achey and sore. Whether the issues are coming from desk posture, inactivity or too much activity - I am here to help.

As lockdown restrictions ease, now is the perfect time to book in a sports massage therapy session.

I am offering a 25% discount for your first 60 minute appointment - priced at just £30 (regular price £40.00/hour).

This session includes:

- Thorough pre-treatment assessment to establish your exact requirements. This will ensure that you get the most out of your 60 minute session
- Detailed postural examination - this is a head to toe assessment and I will explain exactly what I am seeing as we go so that you can understand how it is impacting how you are feeling
- Using the information gathered we can build a plan to keep you moving and injury free - this is a combination of stretches, movement patterns and recommended exercises that you can apply outside of your session with me
