My Story
I got into sports massage because of a problem nobody else could fix.
I'd been weight training seriously when the shoulder pain started. It got to the point where I couldn't bench safely — a combination of physical strain and built-up stress that had been doing damage without me realising. I'd been living with it so long I thought it was just how my body was.
One sports massage session changed that. My shoulders dropped back into a natural position for the first time in years, correcting a postural issue I didn't even know I had. One session. That was all it took for me to understand what the right treatment could actually do.
That experience changed how I saw everything. I started applying the same techniques to my grandmother, whose posture had developed into a pronounced hunchback over the years. After three months of consistent treatment, the hunchback resolved completely. The change was visible to everyone around her. That was the moment I knew this was more than something that had helped me — it was something I could do for other people.
Before
After
When my original therapist fell ill, I tried to find a replacement. I couldn't. Therapist after therapist offered more sessions, but none of them were interested in fixing the problem. They were happy to keep me coming back. Nobody asked why the issue was there in the first place.
That's why I started South Manchester Sports Therapy — to give people the kind of treatment that actually solves the problem, not the kind that keeps you coming back.

What to Expect
Every session is tailored to what your body needs. Here are the core techniques I use.
Effleurage
Long, sweeping strokes to warm the muscles and get blood moving. This is how every session opens and closes — it prepares the tissue for deeper work and helps your body settle afterwards.
Petrissage
Deep kneading and lifting of the muscle tissue to release built-up tension and improve flexibility. This is the work that gets into the problem areas and starts breaking them down.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted pressure on the specific knots and tight spots causing your pain. We hold the pressure until the muscle releases and blood flow returns — this is often what makes the biggest difference in a single session.
