REVIEWS
“I cannot recommend Justin enough - quite why I had neglected my accumulated aches and pains over many years I will never know. The session with Justin was excellent, his professionalism is second to none and his knowledge on the subject both interesting and informative. He’s a really nice guy which helps a lot too. If you have an ache, a pain, a niggle (no matter how small, it can turn into something big) do yourself a favour and book in with Justin."
Roger Wilson“Great service from Justin. I was new to all this and was recommended to get a sports massage after 2 weeks of mountain hiking. Justin managed to fit me in and sorted out my aches and muscle strains. He was very professional and gave me lots of great advice."
Lauren McDonnell - Judkins"Having suffered from a stiff shoulders, neck and headaches and hoping a deep massage would help, I took the plunge and booked in for a sports massage with Justin. I cannot recommend him enough, tension and stiffness gone and headaches are now a thing of the past. I now book ever 4 - 6 weeks and my range of movement in my neck and shoulders has improved so much. He also gave me great advice on stretches I can do at my desk. If you are at a desk all day and suffer tension and stiffness, don’t suffer book in, with Justin."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is sports massage therapy, and how does it differ from regular massage?
Sports massage therapy is a specialised form of massage aimed at addressing the unique needs of athletes and active individuals. It focuses on preventing and treating injuries, enhancing athletic performance, and promoting overall wellness. Unlike regular massage, sports massage therapy incorporates techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and stretching to target specific muscle groups and address sports-related issues.
What are the benefits of Sports Massage Therapy?
Reduce Inflammation and Alleviate Joint Pain
Sports massage therapy is renowned for its ability to reduce inflammation and alleviate joint pain, providing much-needed relief for athletes recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic conditions. Through targeted techniques and specialised treatments, Justin Merchant address inflammation at its source, helping athletes regain comfort and mobility in affected joints. Whether you’re struggling with joint pain due to overuse or injury, my sports massage therapy sessions offer effective solutions to promote healing and restore function.
Increase Mobility and Enhance Range of Motion
One of the key benefits of sports massage therapy is its ability to increase mobility and enhance range of motion in athletes. Whether you’re experiencing stiffness in your calf, hamstring, or shoulders, Justin Merchant employ specialised techniques to release tension and improve flexibility. By targeting specific muscle groups and addressing areas of restriction, I help athletes achieve greater suppleness and freedom of movement, enabling them to perform at their best on and off the field.
Relieve Neck and Shoulder Tension
Desk bound workers and athletes alike often experience neck and shoulder tension as a result of prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, or intense training. Our sports massage therapy sessions provide targeted relief for this common issue, utilising techniques such as deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy to release tension and restore comfort. Whether you’re burdened by tightness in your neck and shoulders or struggling with a frozen shoulder, our personalized treatments are designed to alleviate discomfort and promote relaxation.
Tailored Treatment for Recovery and Prevention
At Justin Merchant, we understand the importance of personalised treatment when it comes to recovery and prevention. We utilise a variety of techniques, including soft tissue manipulation and muscle mobilization, to address the specific needs of each athlete. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to prevent future setbacks, our targeted approach to sports massage therapy ensures that you receive the care and attention you deserve.
Reduce Stress and Rejuvenate Body and Mind
In addition to its physical benefits, sports massage therapy offers profound effects on mental well-being, reducing stress and promoting overall rejuvenation. Justin Merchant creates a calming and nurturing environment where athletes can unwind and recharge, allowing them to recover both physically and mentally. Whether you’re seeking relief from back pain, tennis elbow, or golfers elbow, our targeted sports massage therapy sessions provide effective solutions to help you feel your best and perform at your peak.
Can sports massage therapy help prevent injuries?
Yes, sports massage therapy plays a crucial role in injury prevention by identifying areas of tension, imbalance, or weakness in the muscles and addressing them before they lead to more serious injuries. Regular sports massage therapy sessions can help improve muscle function, reduce the risk of overuse injuries, and enhance overall athletic performance.
How often should athletes receive sports massage therapy sessions?
The frequency of sports massage therapy sessions depends on various factors, including the athlete’s training regimen, competition schedule, and individual needs. Some athletes benefit from weekly sessions to maintain optimal performance and prevent injuries, while others may only require treatment on an as-needed basis. I work closely with each client to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on their specific goals and circumstances.
I’m not an athlete, but I lead an active lifestyle. Can I still benefit from sports massage therapy?
Absolutely! Sports massage therapy is not just for athletes; it’s for anyone who leads an active lifestyle, whether you’re a weekend warrior, fitness enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys staying active. Sports massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance recovery, regardless of your level of athletic participation.
