Sports massage is commonly used by athletes and active individuals as part of their recovery and performance routines. The following slides highlight key findings from current research, focusing on the most well-supported benefits—from reducing soreness and improving flexibility to regulating the nervous system and managing pain. Together, these effects help explain why massage can be a valuable tool when used strategically

So, if you’re an athlete, active individual, or someone who experiences pain and stress, it may be worthwhile considering where massage might best fit in your routine as part of your approach to recovery, performance or overall wellbeing.

I have some big news to share. I will be relocating to Abu Dhabi in mid-August and, as a result, will be closing my business here. This decision has not been easy, and I deeply appreciate your loyal support and custom over the years.

However, my colleague, Finlay, who has been learning and working closely with me, will be taking over the room. I am confident that Finlay will provide you with the same high level of service and care that you have come to expect.

I kindly ask that you continue to support Finlay during this transition. You can follow Finlay for updates and to book appointments.

Also, if you or anyone you know has gift vouchers, I encourage you to book in with me before mid-August.

Thank you once again for your understanding and support. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to reach out!

Thanks,

Chris

The above graphs show some of the results from a recent assisted stretch therapy session. The aim of the session was to address hip mobility issues.

Their hip range of motion (ROM) was assessed before and directly after the session.

The results showed that a single session led to significant acute improvements in hip range of motion.
