our services

1 hour sports massage

Each session is tailored to your individual needs. I always perform a full assessment and take a thorough case history to ensure my selection of soft tissue techniques is appropriate. Each session finishes with an explanation of how to care for your condition at home.

15 minute consultation

Booking a phone consultation gives you time to explain to me the nature of your problem and tell me more about what you are looking for from working with me. It is an opportunity to ask me questions and helps you decide if working with me may suit you and suit me.

5 session course of treatments

For some issues a course of treatments is more effective than a single session. Booking a series of treatments allows me to offer you a more comprehensive treatment plan and better get to the heart of the issues. I offer 5 sessions for £190, giving you one session free.

TestimonialS

I had Dale do a lot of work on my shoulders, neck and back as I was plastering all day and had some serious aches and pains. After a few appointments I could really start to feel the difference and and the pains and stiffness in my muscles was disappearing session after session. Seriously recommend to anyone. Real top bloke too. Great experience Cheers Dale

“Dale was incredibly thorough in trying to identify the cause of my sons low back pain. Great advice and support. Outstanding service and professionalism. Highly recommended”

“I contacted Dale after being in pain on and off for some time in my neck and shoulder following a trapped nerve in my neck- I would wake up ever morning with my neck hurting and a numb arm! Dale came to my house and asked me some questions before attempting to ease my shoulder. He talked me through everything he was doing and explained why he was doing it (very interesting, and nothing he couldn't answer). I havnt had the pain since and this was over 6 months ago that I saw him! I even had a message asking how I was getting on 🙂 I would definitely recommend Dale's services!! Thanks again :)”

Problems We Can Treat

Below are just some of the issues we can try and treat for you. This list is not exhaustive.
Check back regularly as the list will be added to.

Ligament injuries

Ligaments can be the bane of many a sports persons life. With a very poor blood supply they do not heal well. We can suggest exercises and rehabilitation processes. Sports massage can assist with the stiffness and nearby muscles.

impingement

Heavy lifting or sports with movements over your head can cause this. Your shoulder bones actually touch your tendons when you move. Sports massage can help blood flow to the area and loosen you up to release some movement.

Back pain

The broadest area of problems exist in the back. The are many possible diagnoses for the area. Get a free 15 minute consultation with us and find out how we can help. From muscle strain to slipped discs, numbness, pain or aches; let us help.

Shin splints

Pain along the shin? Been running or walking a lot recently? This common problem can usually be kicked into touch after some fact-finding is done. Be careful to rest well if you think you’ve developed shin splints. More impacts will worsen the issue.

Plantar Fasciitis

Have you got a pain in the heel? A sharp stabbing pain that feels like it’s coming from well inside the heel could be plantar fasciitis. If the pain comes when you lift up using the front of your foot we might have your diagnosis right there.

golfers Elbow

You don’t have to be a golfer to get their elbow! Make a fist and grip hard – you can feel and see the results of that action clearly. Repeat this over and over again as part of a sport or work and it might take its toll. Forearm and elbow can be affected by this.

sciatica

Buttock to foot pain that’s often boosted when bending over or coughing could be Sciatica. It’s a nerve that’s playing up. Treating the pain with massage. Also massage to improve flexibility thereby lower the risk of a re-occurance.

Hip pain

A lot is asked of our hip joints and sometimes that sound their disagreement. Over-training, bad lifting technique or just age can flare up a hip problem. A course of stretches and massages to improve blood flow and flexibility will help no end.

Groin Strain

Over stretching while playing sport, that foot goes out just a touch too far. You have a few muscles in the groin and that’s all it takes to get a tear or rupture. Serious tears can need surgery, minor ones can benefit from sports massage.

Achilles tendonitis

The most famous of all tendons. It keeps your calf attached to your heel. Heavy and repeated movements where you lever and land on the ball of your foot can really put this tendon through the ringer. We can help.

Whiplash

Most people think of whiplash as a short-term minor ache resulting from a car crash. But, it can last for years and be crippling. Neck pain, dizziness and headaches are all possible. A course of sports massage can assist recovery.

Posture Pain

Many of us spend 80% of our working day sat at a desk. This is neither natural or healthy. If habits are created by repetition then a bad posture at work can quickly become your normal. Deep tissue massage can relax you back to comfort.
