Pain and injury are rarely simple. They are influenced by training load, strength, recovery, stress, sleep, hormones, lifestyle and confidence.

That is why Tay Sports Therapy combines:

  • Clinical reasoning
  • Hands-on treatment
  • Exercise rehabilitation
  • Sports science
  • Pain education
  • Practical advice you can actually follow

No scare tactics. No quick-fix promises. Just evidence-informed care that supports real recovery.

  • Pregnancy massage and movement advice
  • Pelvic health-informed exercise support
  • Return to running guidance

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.

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.
