Wonderful experience from start to finish
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Explained where I was needing help and area targeted wonderfully :). Angela made me feel totally at ease throughout. Will definitely be returning very soon
Melanie Garland
Very relieved I came.
My first time seeing Angela and she clearly identified my issue, gave me a thorough massage and dry needling and then some really useful exercises and advice. Very relieved I came.
Fiona Macintyre
Can’t thank Angela enough
Can’t thank Angela enough for all the help she has given me. Her attantion to detail is second to none and there is no way I’d be ready for my race on Sunday if it wasn’t for her professionalism.

FAQs
What is sports therapy?
It combines:
- Hands-on treatment
- Exercise rehabilitation
- Movement analysis
- Advice on training and recovery
It’s not just for athletes. It’s for anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger and get back to doing what they enjoy.
Do I need to be injured to book?
No.
Many people come for:
- Ongoing aches and pains
- Tightness or stiffness
- Recovery alongside training
- Injury prevention
- Guidance around exercise and movement
You don’t need a specific injury to benefit.
What happens in a session?
Your session will usually include:
- A discussion about your symptoms and goals
- Movement or strength assessment where appropriate
- Hands-on treatment if suitable
- Advice on what to do next
- Rehabilitation exercises if needed
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s going on and what to do about it.
Do you offer sports massage?
Yes, but it’s part of a bigger picture.
Sports massage and soft tissue work can help with:
- Short-term pain relief
- Reducing muscle sensitivity
- Improving comfort
But it’s usually combined with movement and rehab advice for longer-term results.
Do you offer acupuncture or dry needling?
Yes.
This may be used where appropriate to help:
- Reduce pain
- Settle muscle tension
- Support recovery
It’s always discussed with you first and used as part of an overall plan.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the issue.
Some people need:
- 1–2 sessions for short-term problems
Others benefit from:
- A short block of treatment and rehab
You’ll be given a realistic plan based on your goals, not a fixed package.
Will I be told to stop exercising?
Not usually.
In most cases, we aim to:
- Keep you moving
- Adjust what you’re doing
- Modify load rather than stop completely
Complete rest is rarely the best option.
Do I need to do exercises?
Often, yes.
Rehabilitation exercises help:
- Build strength
- Improve tolerance to load
- Reduce the chance of recurrence
They will be simple, relevant and tailored to you.
