Swipe across for the after result!

Joe Butterworth came in struggling with movement and pain issues in his neck and shoulders.

Struggling to move around, constant tension, and pain that was affecting his mood, I gave him some deep tissue treatment in the mid back, and the full trapezius area which was causing the blockage of movement.

After releasing the muscle tension, Joey has had a reduction in pain and has also been able to increase his ROM massively!

What is a Sports Massage? 🏃‍♂️👇

A sports massage is a targeted treatment designed to support your body through training, physical activity and everyday movement.

Despite the name, it is not just for professional athletes. It is for anyone who puts regular strain on their body, whether that is through the gym, running, sport or even long hours at work.

It focuses on specific muscle groups that are under stress, using a combination of deeper pressure and more focused techniques to help reduce tension, improve mobility and support recovery.

It can be used to
💪 Help the body recover after training
🏃‍♂️ Prepare muscles before physical activity
🔧 Address tight or overworked areas
📈 Support overall performance and movement quality

Unlike a general relaxation massage, sports massage is more specific and goal driven. It is about how your body is functioning, not just how it feels in the moment.

If you are training regularly or dealing with ongoing tightness, sports massage can play a key role in keeping your body performing at its best 🏆

Recovery tips to support your training 👇

If you’re training regularly, what you do between sessions matters just as much as the sessions themselves.

To keep your body moving well and reduce tightness, focus on the basics:

🧘‍♂️ Stay consistent with stretching or mobility work
🌀 Use foam rolling to target tight areas
🥗 Fuel your body properly with good nutrition
😴 Prioritise rest so your muscles can actually recover

These habits help you perform better, recover quicker, and avoid that constant tight, heavy feeling.

But they’re not a replacement for treatment.

Think of this as support alongside your regular massages — not instead of them.

"There’s a reason I don’t go to anyone else…” ⭐

Summer has been coming to me for sports massage for a long time, and this is exactly what it’s about.

It’s not just one session. It’s understanding someone’s body over time, knowing what works for them, and helping them stay mobile and performing at their best.

Working with athletes, especially at a competitive level, means dealing with ongoing demands on the body. The goal is always to keep things moving well, manage any issues early, and support performance long term.

Really appreciate the trust and the kind words 🙌
