Sports Massage

At Body Works we offer a dedicated Sports Massage service, provided by Joe Lunn & Libby Shorrock, who are fully qualified Sports Massage therapists. Sessions can be booked using our online booking service or by calling the clinic on 0116 2885533. Joe & Libby both offer sessions that are 45 minutes (£45) and 60 minutes (£50) long. If you’re unsure as to which length of session to book, please ask to speak to one of our therapists and they’ll be happy to advise you.

Sports Massage can be beneficial to a wide range of people in a variety of different ways but is particularly effective for those engaged in a training regime to compete in a specific sporting event, such as a half marathon, or those who have recently completed one and want to aid their recovery from it.

All physiotherapists are trained in the use of soft tissue massage and manipulation – just one of a range of manual skills we have to offer and which we use as appropriate  in conjunction with joint manipulation, exercise therapy and other modalities, such as acupuncture, when treating clients’ injuries.

However, Sports Massage represents a specific branch of this soft tissue treatment which has become increasingly renowned in recent years for its recuperative benefits after vigorous exercise. For this reason, it now exists as a stand-alone treatment, with dedicated specialist practitioners such as Joe & Libby.
