Sports Massage Specialist for Workhouse Green Athletes
Athletes and active people from Workhouse Green travel to Fiona for sports massage that actually understands training. It's not generic post-exercise recovery; it's informed by 25+ years working with Colchester United FC, the British Army Bobsleigh team and Bristol Rugby. Fiona knows the difference between normal training soreness and something that needs attention. She understands periodization, knows what ready-for-competition massage looks like versus recovery-phase work, and can assess whether an ache is just muscle fatigue or a warning sign of injury. Whether you're a runner, cyclist, footballer or gym-goer from Workhouse Green, you'll find someone who speaks your language.
