Optimise Performance and Activity Levels Without Stiffness Holding You Back

While muscle ache and stiffness may seem like inevitable outcomes of ageing or heavy training, ignoring these symptoms can impact your overall mood, energy, and ability to fully enjoy life.

Our specialised sports massage therapy aims to enhance your wellbeing, improve mobility, and facilitate a return to your favourite activities, free from discomfort and stiffness.

Who Can Benefit from Sports Massage?

Sports massage isn’t just for elite professionals — it’s highly beneficial for cyclists, golfers, runners, athletes, and weightlifters at all levels. Whether you're training for a marathon, recovering from intense lifting sessions, or simply staying active, sports massage helps reduce muscle fatigue, improve recovery times, and prevent injuries.

Pre-event sports massage can enhance performance, increase flexibility, and mentally prepare you for peak exertion, while post-event massage supports faster recovery, reduces soreness, and limits delayed onset muscle stiffness (DOMS). It can also help identify imbalances or tightness that may impact your performance long-term.

Our expert therapists use advanced techniques such as Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, and Active & Passive Stretching to address muscle tightness, restore movement, and support ongoing training goals.

We work with you to pinpoint the problem areas, treat them using the most suitable massage techniques, and identify the root cause of the issue. This approach empowers you to independently manage your condition long-term, ensuring the stiffness doesn’t recur.

Our Patient Stories

I have been going on and off to ProSport Physiotherapy for a few years now. I have seen a few therapists and regardless of who I see for treatment or a sports massage the standard is high. They are professional and personable and provide a great service. The atmosphere is always relaxed and welcoming and I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been with these guys and girls for around three years now and am currently doing mat pilates twice a week with Imani and Amy. The whole team from front the door inwards are great. Always welcoming and friendly as well as being very professional. As this is a physiotherapy based set up you can be sure you are in safe hands for their sessions. There is a good schedule of slots  including Reformer Pilates to suit all days and times during the week and if you are new to it or not sure, taster sessions are always available. Come and give it a try. I recommend it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been attending reformer pilates weekly since November 2025. I have had such a wonderful experience with these classes.  Both Imani and Sarah run great reformer classes and demonstrate exactly what you need to do. The sessions are always well structured and perfectly balanced between challenging and enjoyable.
