​Over the years, playing a variety of sports has seen me suffer from many niggles and injuries. This triggered an interest in how the body works, the cause of injuries and their prevention. I experienced the benefits of Sports Massage and such was my enthusiasm, I wanted to help others reach their goals. I signed up to train as a Sports Massage Therapist and upon qualifying founded SP Sports massage therapy. My priority from the outset is to get you back to sport progressively, so you can expect assessment, treatment and ‘homework’ – exercises that enable you to play an active role in your rehabilitation. Whether your injury is sports related or not I can still help – the following are some of the more common injuries I see:

Frozen shoulder, impingement, rotator cuff ruptures, tennis and golfer’s elbow, repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, migraines, back pain, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, groin strain, hamstring rupture, IT band friction syndrome, patellofemoral pain, shin splints, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis, sprained ankle. We use a combination of techniques that have been developed to ensure effective and efficient results are gained from each treatment. These include:

Active release technique

Do you know the signs of hidden muscle tension?

Many people ignore subtle muscle tightness until it becomes chronic pain. At SP Sports Massage, we help you spot the early warning signs before discomfort escalates.

Common indicators include persistent stiffness, unusual fatigue in muscles, and slight aches after activity that don't improve with rest. These are often hidden because the body adapts to tension over time.

For example, a runner might dismiss tight calves as normal soreness, but untreated, this can lead to more serious issues like tendonitis or back pain.

Understanding and addressing muscle tension early means you avoid long-term pain and improve your performance and wellbeing. Our personalised assessments target these hidden areas with advanced techniques like myofascial release and deep tissue massage.

Have you noticed any subtle muscle tightness lately? Don't wait for pain to worsen—early intervention is key to lasting relief and recovery.

Is your posture quietly undermining your recovery?

Poor posture often goes unnoticed but can be a major cause of chronic pain and delayed healing. Over time, your body adapts to these habits, making discomfort feel 'normal' – but it's not.

Simple adjustments like maintaining a neutral spine, avoiding prolonged slouching, and regular stretching can ease tension and support lasting relief.

At SP Sports Massage, we start every treatment with a full postural assessment. This helps us tailor therapies that address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Don't let poor posture hold you back any longer. Small changes today can prevent chronic pain tomorrow.

Chronic pain isn't just about discomfort—it's about how it limits your life, day after day.

At SP Sports Massage, we don't settle for temporary fixes. Our advanced hands-on therapies target the root causes of chronic muscular pain, using techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy.

Here's how we approach lasting relief:

• A personalised assessment to understand your unique pain pattern and body alignment.
• Targeted therapies that release tension, improve mobility, and break down scar tissue.
• Techniques that stimulate healing and reduce inflammation for long-term benefits.

Take Jane, a local runner who struggled with persistent calf pain despite trying various treatments. After a tailored programme combining myofascial release and deep tissue therapy, she regained her mobility and returned to running pain-free within weeks.

What this means for you: chronic pain doesn't have to be a life sentence. With expert care focused on your body's needs, recovery is possible.

Are you ready to stop managing pain and start living fully again? Let's create a personalised therapy plan that works for you.

Is your posture silently setting you up for pain years down the line?

When poor posture becomes a habit, your body adapts—but not in a good way. Muscles tighten, joints misalign, and what starts as a small discomfort can turn into chronic pain.

At SP Sports Massage, we focus on identifying and correcting postural issues early with personalised assessments and targeted therapies like deep tissue massage and myofascial release.

Taking action now means preventing the long-term strain that leads to headaches, back pain, and reduced mobility.

Simple daily stretches can be the key to extending the benefits of your therapy sessions.

After a targeted sports massage or myofascial release treatment, your muscles and tissues are primed for recovery—but without follow-up care, those gains can fade quickly.

Incorporating just a few minutes of gentle stretching each day helps maintain flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and improve your range of motion. For example:

- Cat-Cow stretches to ease spinal stiffness
- Hamstring stretches to prevent tightness after deep tissue work
- Shoulder rolls to release lingering tension from desk-bound postures

Clients who commit to these daily stretches often notice longer-lasting relief from chronic pain and faster recovery times between sessions.

What daily stretch have you found most helpful after therapy? Let's share and learn together.

Remember, your therapy doesn't end when you leave the clinic—it's a partnership for lasting wellness.

How does cupping therapy speed up muscle recovery?

Cupping isn't just an ancient tradition—it's a powerful tool to accelerate healing and relieve muscle tension. By creating suction on the skin, cupping boosts blood flow to affected areas, helping flush out toxins and reduce inflammation faster than massage alone.

At SP Sports Massage, our experienced therapists combine cupping with deep tissue techniques to target stubborn muscle tightness and chronic pain. This approach supports your body's natural recovery process, helping you get back to peak performance sooner.

Here's what makes cupping effective for muscle recovery:

- Increases circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles
- Relaxes fascia and connective tissue, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness
- Aids lymphatic drainage to remove waste products from damaged tissue

For athletes and active individuals, cupping can reduce soreness after intense training and prevent injury by keeping muscles supple. For those struggling with chronic muscle pain, it offers lasting relief by addressing deeper tissue restrictions.

Are you ready to move faster through recovery and achieve lasting pain relief? Our personalised cupping therapy sessions in Leeds and Bradford are designed to meet your unique needs.

Let us help you heal better and move easier. Book your appointment with SP Sports Massage today and take the first step toward renewed strength.

What makes advanced myofascial release different from a regular massage?

Unlike a standard massage that mainly focuses on muscle relaxation, advanced myofascial release targets the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. This technique gently releases restrictions and adhesions within the fascia that often cause chronic pain and limit mobility.

Here's why it stands apart:
• It's a personalised, hands-on approach tailored to your body's unique needs.
• The therapist uses sustained, precise pressure to untangle deep fascial restrictions.
• It addresses the root cause of pain rather than just soothing symptoms.
• It improves movement and function long after the session ends.

If you've tried other therapies without lasting relief, advanced myofascial release could be the key to breaking persistent pain cycles.
