5 years of business!! 💙

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I very first became self-employed and built my own business as a sports & vocal massage therapist, I honestly never could have imagined all of the amazing opportunities I have had over these past 5 years 🤩

When I did a similar post to this last year, I said each year keeps getting better & better and it really does! Highlights for this past business year has to include being invited to speak at (twice!☺️) at NEC Birmingham to other industry professionals, working with the Advance Physio team at in Essex & Birmingham since the start of this year, & having the chance to work with several musical tours whilst they were performing in Nottingham! 🎭

Without all of my amazing clients, none of this would be possible, so thank you all so much for all your support over the past 5 years, whether you are seeing me for the first time this week or have been seeing me for sessions for years 😊🙌🏻

& thank you all for keeping me so busy! I’ve added some more availability for this Friday (3rd October) for those wanting an appointment this week 😊💪🏻

Last week I was at in Essex to teach the students all about vocal health, vocal massage, & how to take care of the voice including some self-vocal massage techniques 😊

Looking forward to starting back massaging at Performers again soon in Essex & Birmingham! 💪🏻

Thank you for having me deliver these workshops 🙌🏻

Yesterday I was at helping out with the health screening for the dancers! 💃🏼 it was so nice to unexpectedly catch up with so many people I didn’t know would be here too 😆 and was lovely to meet everyone else involved & to be surrounded by so many other dance/performing arts specialists!

Thanks for having me as part of the team 🙌🏻

Please help if you can ❕❗️

I’ve had someone make fake profiles of me and my business offering all sorts of things and pretending to be me, if you get a chance can you please report them both please and if Facebook asks which profile they are impersonating, it’s Sports Massage by Emma

Thank you in advance! This has happened too many times now 🥲
(Both accounts have blocked me so I can’t tag them)

Yesterday I had a last minute opportunity to massage for the Great Britain tag rugby team in Nottingham! 🏉 for the British & Irish Cup 2025 🥳

I worked with the team last year as part of the World Cup, it was great to be back again 😊💪🏻

I’ve had my business for nearly 5 years and recently realised I never did an introduction post… so here it is, 5 years later 😆

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a Sports & Vocal massage therapist working in Nottinghamshire, Performers College (Essex & Birmingham), and at The Royal Ballet & Opera in Covent Garden, London ✨

I studied Sports & Exercise Science at the University of Derby/Nottingham Trent University, before achieving my Masters Degree in Performing Arts Medicine at University College London 👩🏼‍🎓 I grew my business whilst at university, and took the plunge to go full-time as soon as I finished my studies, and I’ve been full-time ever since!

Outside the clinic, I’m a dancer & aerialist - so most of my free time is spent either in the splits or upside down 😆 Flexibility is a big passion of mine, and I love teaching others how to stretch effectively & understand why it’s so important!

I work with a wide range of people including performers, athletes, and everyday people who want move and feel better 🏃🏼‍♀️

• If you’d like to see stretches for specific muscle groups, comment below or drop me a message! (I may be working on something soon 👀)

• To book an appointment, the link in my bio takes you straight to my website for prices, availability & easy online booking 📲

Thank you to all my clients as always! 💫

Coming soon 👀… SPOTLIGHT MASSAGE & RECOVERY 🌟

As most of my clients know, I’ve been working on changing my business name from Sports Massage by Emma to Spotlight Massage & Recovery!

My work has evolved so much from when I first started my business in late 2020, which is why I wanted to create a new name to reflect this 💫 a big part of my work is still sports massage, but also includes vocal massage, delivering workshops/presentations, and since late 2022 I’ve been a Performing Arts Specialist after completing my masters degree at UCL in Performing Arts Medicine 👩🏼‍🎓 I work all across the UK at Perfoming arts venues and universities, and it’s surreal how much my business has grown since I first started!

I’ll be updating my website over the weekend and my business name will be fully changed over soon! I wanted to update everyone on the new business name first before just changing it all of a sudden 🤗 I’ve been so excited to share this and I hope you all love it as much as I do!

- I also desperately needed a new headshot since I’ve recently gone from being blonde to red 😆 thank you !! 📸
