Book an appointment
Sports massage shaped around you.
Sports massage at Vitalis is not a fixed routine. Every appointment is guided by the reason you have come in, how your body feels and what you would like to return to doing comfortably.
Vic takes time to understand your activity, work demands, training load, previous injuries and current areas of tension. Treatment pressure and techniques are then adapted to you—not simply applied in the same way to everyone.
Whether you are managing muscular tightness, recovering between training sessions, preparing for an event or feeling restricted by everyday life, your appointment will focus on what is most useful for you.
Your comfort guides the treatment.
Your appointment begins with a conversation about your health, symptoms and goals. Where useful, Vic may look at relevant movement before deciding which areas and techniques to focus on.
Sports massage does not need to be extremely painful to be effective. Pressure can be adjusted throughout the session, and Vic will explain what she is doing so that you remain comfortable and involved.
After treatment, you may be given straightforward advice or exercises to support movement, recovery and longer-term progress.
Massage and rehabilitation
If your symptoms suggest that a fuller assessment or rehabilitation plan would be more appropriate, Vic can discuss moving into sports therapy rather than repeatedly treating the same area without addressing the wider problem.
Care tailored to the reason you came in.
Your first appointment begins with listening. We discuss what has happened, what you want to return to and what may be contributing to the problem.
Common reasons people book.
Muscular tension
For stiffness, tightness and discomfort linked to training, work or everyday life.
Exercise recovery
Support recovery between running, gym or sporting sessions.
Movement comfort
Help muscles feel less restricted and improve comfort during movement.
Rehabilitation support
Use massage alongside strength and rehabilitation where helpful.
Event preparation
Target areas affected by increased training load before an event.
Stress and relaxation
A tailored treatment can also provide time to slow down and reset.
Choosing the right starting point.
Sports massage can be useful when muscular tension or recovery is the main concern. If you have a new injury, persistent pain, significant weakness or symptoms that need investigating, a sports therapy appointment may be the better starting point.
Because Vic is qualified in both sports massage and clinical sports therapy and rehabilitation, she can help you choose an appropriate route and combine hands-on treatment with exercise-based rehabilitation where needed.
Long-term results, not a generic routine.
Treatment pressure, techniques and exercises are adapted to your comfort, goals and response. The aim is to help you understand the problem and build confidence as well as ease symptoms.
Frequently asked.
Do I need to be sporty?
No. Sports Massage can support active and non-active people with muscular tension, pain and injury-related concerns.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move is helpful. Alternatives can always be discussed if you are not comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your history, symptoms and goals. The likely approach can be discussed after your first appointment.
