Yes, as long as you have enough space indoors or outside in a garden area, we can provide personal training sessions in the comfort of your own home.

No. Anyone can benefit from sports massage therapy even if you are not a sports performer.

These benefits include improved circulation and lymphatic flow, decreased muscle tension and removal of waste products in soft tissue, increased joint range of motion (ROM) and increased sense of well-being.
Sports massage treatments are designed to target areas that are often deep within the tissue, therefore at times during treatment it may feel uncomfortable, in order to alleviate the underlying cause of any problems identified. However, each treatment is tailored to individual preferences, so if you require a lighter massage technique than you can discuss this with your therapist prior to treatment, who will adjust massage techniques accordingly.
