⚽ Excited to announce a new chapter ⚽

I’m proud to be joining Clanfield Football Team as the Men’s Physio & Massage Therapist 🙌

This is a huge step forward in my career and one I’m genuinely passionate about. Football places massive demands on the body, and I love supporting players before, during, and after performance — whether that’s preparing for match day, maintaining peak condition through the season, or speeding up recovery after hard games and training sessions.

Being football-focused is a big part of who I am. I also play myself, so I truly understand the physical demands, the knocks, the tight turnarounds, and what it takes to stay available and performing week in, week out. That first-hand experience drives the way I work with players.

I’m grateful for the opportunity and excited about what this could lead to — not just with the team, but for continued growth, learning, and future opportunities within the game.

Looking forward to supporting the lads and being part of the journey 💪⚽

Heel pain stopping your game? ⚽🦶

Plantar fasciitis is a common sports injury caused by repeated sprinting, cutting and hard push-offs. That sharp heel pain doesn’t just hurt — it robs you of speed, power and confidence.

💆‍♂️ How massage helps
Massage releases tight calves and plantar fascia, improves blood flow, and reduces pain — helping you move better and recover faster.

🏋️ Rehab is the game-changer
Targeted foot and calf strengthening + progressive loading restores power, stability and performance. Stretching alone isn’t enough.

✅ Treat the cause
✅ Strengthen the foot
✅ Return stronger, not rushed

Your feet are your foundation — look after them 👣🔥

🔥QUICK TIP❄️ For all Sporting people who are going out for competition today ✨

Fresh (acute) injury — use COLD ❄️

When: First 24–72 hours after injury (sprain, strain, bruise, swelling).
Why: Cold reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain by constricting blood vessels.

How to use it:
• Ice pack or cold compress
• 15–20 minutes at a time
• Every 2–3 hours
• Always place a cloth between ice and skin

⸻

Old (chronic) injury — use HEAT 🔥

When: Injuries older than 3–5 days, or long-standing issues (tight muscles, stiffness, lingering aches).
Why: Heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and improves flexibility.

How to use it:
• Heating pad, warm towel, hot shower
• 15–30 minutes
• Do not use on swollen or inflamed areas

⸻

Important exceptions
• ❌ Don’t use heat on a fresh injury or if there’s swelling/redness
• ❌ Don’t ice a stiff, tight muscle with no swelling (heat is better)
• For some injuries, alternating heat and cold can help after the acute phase (often for chronic pain)

Why massage alone isn’t enough after a football injury ⚽️👀🙌🏻

In football, injuries don’t happen in slow, controlled movements. They happen during sprinting, deceleration, cutting, tackling, and kicking. Massage alone doesn’t prepare the body for any of that.

1. Football demands high-speed force

Massage can reduce tightness or soreness, but it doesn’t restore sprinting or kicking capacity.
After injuries like:
• Hamstring strains
• Calf strains
• Groin injuries

the muscle must tolerate high-speed lengthening and force. Only progressive loading and sprint exposure rebuild that ability.

2. Re-injury risk comes from poor load tolerance

Most football re-injuries happen when a player:
• Feels “fine”
• Passes basic movement tests
• Returns before tissue is conditioned for match speed

Massage may make the muscle feel loose, but it doesn’t increase tolerance to match loads — especially late-game fatigue sprints.

3. Healing tissue needs football-specific loading

After injury, muscle and tendon need:
• Strength (especially eccentric)
• Rate of force development
• Exposure to change of direction and deceleration

Without these, tissue heals but remains underprepared for match demands.

4. Massage doesn’t retrain football movement

Football injuries disrupt:
• Sprint mechanics
• Cutting efficiency
• Confidence going full speed

Only strength, running, and football-specific drills restore movement quality under pressure.

5. Feeling good ≠ being ready to play

Massage can mask deficits and create a false sense of readiness.
That’s why so many players re-injure:
• In the first 2–3 games back
• During high-speed actions
• When fatigue sets in

The takeaway for footballers...

Massage helps recovery — it doesn’t complete rehab.

The safest return to play comes from:

Soft tissue work + progressive strength + exposure to football speed and intensity.

That’s how you come back faster, stronger, and harder to re-injure.

Hey, I’m Scarlett👋

I’m a busy mum of three energetic boys, a business owner, football team runner, physio for a men’s football team, and a footballer myself — so when it comes to performance, recovery, and real-life demands on the body, I get it.

I’m a fully mobile sports massage therapist, bringing professional treatment straight to your home. I work with athletes, footballers, and active individuals who want to perform better, recover faster, and stay injury-free.

I’m qualified across a wide range of massage techniques including:
• Sports Massage
• Deep Tissue
• Swedish
• Reflexology
• Indian Head
• Pregnancy Massage

But my passion lies in sports performance and recovery. I believe massage is the future of health in the sporting industry — yet it’s still massively underestimated and under-utilised. Proper recovery isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for longevity, strength, and peak performance.

Alongside hands-on treatment, I’m now expanding into rehabilitation programs for sporting injuries, helping athletes safely return to sport stronger, smarter, and more resilient than before.

I also work with everyday clients who put constant strain on their bodies — from manual workers dealing with overuse and physical fatigue, to office workers suffering from poor posture, desk-related pain, and muscular imbalances.

Whether you’re:
⚽ an athlete
🏋️‍♂️ training hard
🏃‍♀️ recovering from injury
or simply pushing your body to its limits

—I’m here to help you move better, recover faster, and perform at your best.

Leg day. Match day. Heavy sessions.
Your body takes a beating — recovery isn’t optional 💪⚽

Sports massage is built for footballers and gym athletes who push their bodies week in, week out.
It’s not about relaxing music and light pressure — it’s about:
✔️ Faster recovery between sessions
✔️ Looser hips, quads, calves & hamstrings
✔️ Reduced injury risk
✔️ Better movement on the pitch and under the bar

Seeing a sports massage specialist means you’re treated by someone who understands:
• sprinting
• lifting heavy
• muscle fatigue
• tightness from repetitive training

If you train hard but don’t recover properly, your performance will suffer — simple as that.

Train hard. Recover properly. Perform better.

Let’s Talk About Massage Pricing – and Fairness

It’s frustrating to see this double standard in the massage industry.

Spas charge £120+ for a 55-minute massage, and no one bats an eye. In fact, it’s often seen as a treat or luxury experience – a way to relax, unwind, and switch off.

Yet when independent or private therapists (many of whom have more experience, specialist training, and offer tailored treatments focused on real well-being and long-term results) set their rates accordingly, we’re told it’s “too expensive.”

Here’s the truth:
A spa is for relaxation.
A private therapist is often working for your recovery, mobility, pain relief, and overall health.

We don’t have the plush robes or champagne on arrival, but we offer consistent care, personal attention, and a deeper understanding of your body over time.

If you’re happy to pay a premium for a moment of calm, please consider the value of regular, intentional therapy from someone who’s invested in your ongoing well-being.

We deserve fair compensation too.

The Route to my success.

My name is Scarlett. I am currently working on making my own business as successful as can be. I have worked very hard from where I began to where I am now. I studied for several years to achieve the grades I needed to become the woman I am today “Mobile Massage Therapist”. I did everything I had to, to be able to have that job everyone wishes they had but not many people do “YOUR DREAM JOB”. I never in a million years thought I would be doing something I love every day of my life. I look back now and think of all the previous jobs I have had and I would never ever even dream of going back to them. So I say EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE if you believe in yourself and believe you can, you will achieve it. Don’t put yourself down, pick yourself up and push for that dream because you will SUCCEED. I still carry on pushing forward learning new things and applying myself, and I love it.

I am Currently Qualified in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage and Injuries, Aromatherapy & Reflexology. I have an amazing clientele who are always happy with my services and on many occasions book in for another. I have great prices and all different ways you can book in, payment per session or Block bookings. Whatever works best for you works for me. I am fully mobile and willing to travel as far as Portsmouth to provide you with my services or I have an area in my own home witch I also use.

Please feel free to contact me on my personal page “ Scarlett Powles”, on here “Pure Healing”, via email “ purehaling19@gmail.com” or on my mobile call/text 07949177555.
