Do you feel inflexible and experience muscle tension and ache?

Sports massage helps you to:

By forming an integral part of your training, regular sports massage treatments can:

As part of the treatment we will explore areas of restriction / dysfunction, range of motion, proprioception and coordination testing, review of your stretches, warming up and cooling down routines, as well as advice on remedial exercises to help improve your performance.

What clients have said following a sports & remedial massage treatment:
I have been visiting Felicia now for over 2/3 years. I have tried lots of therapists for reflexology but she is by far the best. Just the right amount of pressure but no pain, just a wonderful sense of well being. My feet just seem to feel like they are walking on air when I depart. Her gentle massage is also extremely good and she is the only one that has helped with my tight muscles around my shoulders, especially in winter months when I play golf. I would have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful, caring lady. A thorough professional, through and through.
As a long time sufferer of lower back, tight shoulder and neck muscle discomfort finding a professional to treat and relieve the pressure with clinical sport and deep tissue massage was a great relief. Whether golfing, working at a computer or, heavy gardening, I found muscle tightness an issue. A three weekly visit to Felicia during the past four years has proved an enormous benefit leaving me less tense and more flexible. Long may my treatment continue which I recommend to all fellow sufferers.
I am surprised at the difference I can feel after the treatment - my legs are so much lighter and the hips feel looser. I like the fact that Felicia explains what muscles she is treating and why. I also feel very involved in the treatment process as we explore together new stretches or how to improve my technique
