I am a qualified Sports Massage Therapist based in the Burnley area of Lancashire. Following my qualification and professional registration I have undertaken additional CPD courses adding to my skill set and have spent the last year self employed, working both mobile and within a sport rehab therapy setting, building up a diverse client base whilst gaining additional experience. I now work on a mo

bile basis and I am able to offer a professional, diverse range of treatment options at a competitive rate. I am qualified with VTCT, registered and insured with the Federation of Holistic Therapists and a friendly no obligation consultation is always available. Sport massage therapy plays a vital part in any athletes schedule of preparation, recovery and maintenance. Massage therapy also provides relaxation from everyday physical and mental stressors and helps the body achieve balance and return to its optimal capability. With a diverse background in Health, specialist physical support, sport and combined therapies I graduated with a 1st class Honours degree in Health, Rehab and Social Sciences and further studied Sport Massage Therapy with advanced deep tissue techniques with VTCT. As an amateur athlete,I run multiple disciplines at club level from road to fell and can offer sport massage, deep tissue treatment and advice across a vast field from managing disabilities to maintenance, performance recovery and injury prevention for the mainstream athlete.

** Treatment Fees** Hey Everyone, hope you are all enjoying the sunshine of spring☀️🕶️ Just letting you all know that I’m finally adjusting my prices up a little to bring me inline and to cover the usual inevitable rising costs. From 1st May 2025, a single treatment will be £40.

As always, I’ve held off as long as possible, but I am confident I remain very competitive in my fees and will be continuing to give value and quality as there is never a charge for assessments or advice and my standard treatment will remain at the duration of at least a 45 minute session. Thanks for your continued loyalty and support as always, it’s very much appreciated 🙏

See you all soon….Mick

Another recovery treatment after yet another marathon for long term client, friend (world marathon runner and pacer) Jason Rippingale. In fact Jason was just back from the long flight home from Sydney, Australia. This was marathon number 71 ! an age group world championship race too. Despite the hills and headwinds, Jason finished in a phenomenal time of 2:52:02. Always impressed with my high achieving friend but as this season is definitely one of his heaviest schedules, real respect deserved here. Well done Jase and great to be part of your continuing journey! 🙌🥇

Congratulations to long term client and friend Lauren McCann on absolutely crushing the Ullswater Way Trail Race. I saw Lauren for her pre race treatment to prepare her and ease a calf ni**le before she took on the 21 mile technical, 3,069 ft trail monster !

She only went and finished as 3rd Lady in 3hrs 39 and placed 26th out of 286 runners! (also raising over £500 for the Pink Ribbon Foundation).

Lauren is a brilliant athlete yet so modest and trains so hard and absolutely deserves her results. I am so chuffed and definitely in awe of that result! An absolute pleasure as always playing a small part in your support plan. Well done Lauren, absolutely immense achievement ..👏👏👏🏆

Happiest of birthdays to this crazy, super achieving beast of an athlete! Have a cracking day old buddy 🍻 🙌

Recovery / Maintenance Treatment for friend , teammate and client Hayley this week and was really looking forward to catching up with her as she returned from Brighton for a debrief of her experience of the big day. I could not be more pleased and proud of her success. Debut marathon greatness and the way she trained, paced and killed her time goal was amazing and it shows what hard work, dedication and discipline can do. I was a bit worried with the recent storms as we watched the weather the days leading up to it and tracking her on the day was (as it always is) nervy ! But all went well and she stuck to the plan and bravely chipped away through the gruelling mileage. Finishing the training months in one peice, retaining the mental strength and completing a marathon is a serious achievement. It’s a massive bonus and impressive thing to also smash your goal…Hayley finished in 4 hours 29 minutes.. Wow 👏 Congratulations Hayley, a very proud moment indeed. You did yourself and your club proud. 🥂🍾🥇

As its marathon season, I’m absolutely hectic as usual with providing pre-event and recovery treatments for so many clients before and after they jet off and travel all over the place and return! So many to give a mention to!! So I just want to congratulate all my clients and friends that have completed such a monumental achievement so far.. so far I’ve seen Brighton marathoners, Boston USA, Manchester and London..etc etc.. I’ll post as many congratulation posts as possible but I take my hat off to all of you who have grafted for months and bravely taken on the 26.2 mile monster and conquered it.

Regardless of finish time, you are all very awesome. I’m enjoying watching and playing a small part in your success stories. So many fantastic exciting days and achievements. You should all be extremely proud of yourselves. Well done and see some of you soon on the treatment table. 🥇🥂🍾

Always good to see this lad back.. victorious and safe and sound ! Recovery / Maintenance treatment yesterday for long term client, friend and globe trotting marathon pacer Jason Rippingale. This is a massive season / year for him with several world marathons and halves. This was after another absolute precision job pacing the 3 hour group at Manchester last Sunday (Mara number 67 for him!), and ahead of travelling down to London to pace the 3:05 this Sunday. I have many diverse clients within different settings, sports and otherwise, but it’s always nice to be part of incredible careers and exciting journeys as a trusted part of their schedules. Thanks for the continued trust and loyalty Jase and see you back home again inbetween events 👏👍🥇

**Injuries**
I’m on the receiving end at the moment and having to rehab myself from a small injury. If we are very active / sporty / athletes of whatever level, it’s inevitable at some point we are going to pick up ni**les and injuries. It’s certainly how we deal with it both physically and mentally that matters! It’s better to rest from high impact in some cases and just put your ego away and take the time to rest / recover wisely and crack on with the correct rehab pathway. In the long run it will save us from worse outcomes / serious injuries and longer periods out. It’s hard and it soon gets me down mentally when I’m away from my regular training schedule and racing. I find that the worse aspect and I’m just focussing on goals further ahead. Keep focus ! I’m trying to retain some positivity and perspective…worse injuries and issues are out there! Theraband rehab exercises for me to to comeback from Peroneal Tendinitis / Tendonopathy. Particularly the strengthening of this tendon / tendon group whilst in eversion. Stay healthy and fit everyone and hopefully see some of you back on the race circuit soon. 🤞

⭐️⭐️Treatment Fees -Update⭐️⭐️
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
Treatment fees will be £35 per treatment from February 2024.

Those of you who know me well, will be well aware that I’ve waited for a very long time and for as long as I possibly could have managed before reluctantly adjusting my prices. It’s unavoidable now with rises in costs of products, fuel and my registration/ insurance etc. For £35 you will still receive at least a 45 minute thorough, quality and evidence based reliable treatment , regulated and insured by my federation (FHT). ( I do not believe in pricing myself on 30 min slots).

I’m sure you’ll agree that my prices are still very competitive and thanks as always for the loyalty, recommendations and for your continued support. As a small business owner and an independent registered therapist, it is greatly appreciated. See you all soon and take care of yourselves.

Mick.
