Personal Training & Performance
Move well.
Build from there.
One-to-one training shaped around your goals, experience and how you move. Each session has a purpose, with coaching and progression suited to you.
Sports Performance
Build strength, conditioning and physical readiness around the demands of your sport and the goals you’re working towards.
Strength Training
Build strength with clear technique, progressive exercises and the right level of challenge.
Return After Injury
Rebuild strength and confidence in exercise, following relevant guidance from your treating clinician.
Weight Loss
Structured exercise that supports your weight-management goals and fits your routine.
Corrective Exercise
Work on movement control, technique and areas that need more strength or mobility.
Assisted Stretching
Guided stretching, adapted to your comfort and the movements you want to improve.
Body Composition
Resistance training and conditioning to support muscle development and changes in body composition.
What to expect from your training
We start with your goals, training history and any relevant limitations. I assess how you perform the movements we’ll use and plan a session suited to your starting point.
During the session, I coach technique, select appropriate exercises and adjust the challenge as needed. As we work together, we review your progress and build from there.
Training after injury
Where an injury needs assessment or treatment, that remains with an appropriately qualified clinician. I can adapt exercise around their recommendations and help you rebuild confidence, strength and capacity as you return to training.
Sports Massage
Focused attention.
More comfortable movement.
Hands-on sports and soft tissue massage tailored to the areas that feel tight, sore or restricted, with pressure adjusted to your comfort.
Muscle Tension
Focused work on areas of tightness and the tender spots often described as “knots”.
Mobility & Flexibility
Help ease stiffness and support a more comfortable range of movement.
Post-Exercise Soreness
Massage may help reduce the feeling of soreness following exercise.
Uneven Muscle Tension
Attention to areas taking more strain, alongside exercise where strength or control needs improving.
Recovery After Injury
Appropriate soft tissue work alongside your clinician’s advice, once suitable for the stage of recovery.
Return to Activity
Help manage muscular tension as you resume exercise, alongside any rehabilitation program.
What happens during an appointment?
Your priorities
We discuss the areas you want addressed, recent activity and any relevant health or injury history.
Your massage
I explain the approach and agree the areas, pressure and positioning with you.
Your next steps
We review how you feel and discuss appropriate aftercare or whether another professional’s advice is needed.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. Sports massage can suit people dealing with muscular tension from exercise, desk work, travel or everyday activity. We discuss whether it is appropriate for you before proceeding.
Massage, injury and recovery
Massage may help with short-term soreness, tension and flexibility. It does not replace assessment or rehabilitation, correct a strength imbalance on its own, or guarantee faster healing or improved sporting performance.
If you have a recent injury or symptoms that need assessment, we establish whether clinical advice is needed before massage.
