This includes a subjective assessment through conversation and a physical examination to evaluate posture, range of motion, muscle imbalances, and areas of pain or tenderness.
The assessment helps the therapist understand the client's needs, identify areas of focus, and develop a personalised treatment plan. At the end of your session, Ellie may provide advice on stretches, exercises, or hydration tips to maintain the benefits of the massage and support your recovery.
A physiotherapist-led sports massage ensures that the treatment is tailored specifically to your needs, taking into account your fitness level, injury history, and any underlying musculoskeletal issues. With their in-depth understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, a physiotherapist can provide a more comprehensive and effective massage than a regular therapist, ensuring safety and optimal results.
Ellie will begin with a brief assessment to understand your physical activity level, areas of tension, pain points, and any injury history. This helps her personalise the massage to meet your specific needs, so please be sure to include relevant information on your pre-assessment form.
Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific goals, lifestyle, and exercise preferences, whether you’re an athlete or just starting a fitness routine and seeking physiotherapist-led maintenance massage. We will also consider your personal needs and preferences to ensure a fully customised approach.

No, you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage. It’s helpful for anyone with muscle tightness, pain, or discomfort from activities like running, gardening, or sitting for long periods. It can also support those recovering from injuries or surgery.
Sports massage can sometimes feel intense, especially if there are areas of muscle tightness or injury. However, it should never be unbearable. Ellie will adjust the pressure to suit your comfort level, ensuring effective treatment while maintaining a relaxed experience.
The frequency of sports massage depends on your activity level, goals, and any underlying issues. For athletes, regular massage (once a week or fortnight) can improve performance and prevent injury. For recovery, Ellie will recommend the appropriate frequency based on your condition.
