Who Massage Therapy Is For

Our massage therapy is used by a wide range of people, not just athletes.

Many clients come to us mid-way through a physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment plan, using massage to support the rest of their recovery.

Others are active people and weekend athletes managing tight or overworked muscles, people recovering from a specific injury, or anyone dealing with everyday muscle tension and stiffness from work, stress, or long hours sitting.

Common Concerns We Treat

Clients typically book in for: muscle tension and tightness, recovery from sports or training-related strain, neck and shoulder tightness, general stress-related tension, and ongoing support alongside a lower back or other injury rehab plan.

What To Expect In A Session

During your session, your therapist assesses your needs, focusing on muscle imbalances, movement restrictions, and areas of discomfort.

By the end of your session, you’ll have:

  • A targeted treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns.
  • Relief through effective, hands-on techniques.
  • Practical advice on ongoing recovery, including mobility work and self-care.

Sessions run from 30 to 60 minutes, and concession packages are available if you’re planning regular visits. Because our massage therapist works alongside our physiotherapy and chiropractic teams, your massage can be shaped around whatever else you’re being treated for, rather than sitting separately from it.

Our Approach

We use a sports and rehab-focused approach to massage, incorporating:

Deep Tissue and Myofascial Release – To break down adhesions and restore mobility.
Trigger Point Therapy – To release muscle knots and improve function.
Lymphatic Drainage and Recovery Techniques – To speed up healing and reduce inflammation.
Collaborative Treatment Plans – Seamlessly integrating with physiotherapy and chiropractic care for a comprehensive rehab plan.

Why Choose Physio Mechanics

Massage works best as part of a bigger recovery picture, not a one-off treat.

Our massage therapist specialises in musculoskeletal rehab and sports recovery, and works directly alongside our physiotherapy and chiropractic teams, so your sessions actually support whatever else you’re being treated for.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Highly Skilled Therapists: specialising in musculoskeletal rehab and sports recovery.
  • Integrated Care: treatment plans that align with your physiotherapy and chiropractic goals.
  • Performance-Focused Approach: helping athletes, gym-goers and active people stay injury-free.
  • Individualised Treatment: tailored sessions based on your sport, injury or movement goals
