Sports Massage for Jankes Green Runners, Cyclists & Gym-Goers
Whether you are building towards a marathon, a match or a competition, sports massage helps your body cope with the load and recover between efforts. Fiona treats athletes from Jankes Green at her clinic in Colchester, Essex, shaping each session around your event: lighter and mobility-focused beforehand, recovery-focused afterwards, so your preparation is supported rather than interrupted.
Jankes Green, close to Berechurch and Cowey Green in Essex, is among the wider areas Fiona treats clients from, all seen at her Colchester clinic.
Sports massage is known for being firm and thorough, particularly on tired or overloaded muscle, but it should always feel like productive pressure rather than pain. Fiona communicates throughout and works within your tolerance, easing off on especially tender areas when you need her to. If you prefer a lighter touch in one region, you only have to say so and she will adjust.
Signs Sports Massage Could Help
- Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that lingers after hard training sessions
- Reduced flexibility or a restricted range of motion affecting your performance
- Recurring niggles or injury-prone areas that flare up when you push harder
- Preparing for a race, match or competition and wanting your body ready
- Recovering from a specific sports injury and needing focused rehabilitation work
- A training load that is outpacing your body's ability to recover
- Muscle tightness in the areas your sport loads most, such as calves, hamstrings, hips or shoulders
- Wanting to prevent overuse injuries rather than treat them after they happen
Do not let a niggle turn into a lay-off. Regular sports massage keeps you moving well through a heavy training block, and Fiona treats clients from Jankes Green with the same clinical care she has given professional athletes for over 25 years. Book your session today by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form, and she will find a time to suit you.

It can feel firm on already-tender muscle, but Fiona works within your tolerance and communicates throughout. There may be some discomfort on tight or fatigued areas, but it should feel like productive pressure rather than pain. Ask for a lighter touch and she will adjust.
Each session begins with a consultation about your sport, training and any injuries, followed by an assessment of the muscles your activity loads most. Fiona then combines deep tissue, targeted stretching and trigger point techniques, and finishes with aftercare and training-load advice.
Yes, sports massage is one of the most effective ways to ease delayed onset muscle soreness. Targeted work on the affected muscles improves circulation, reduces stiffness and can shorten recovery time. Many clients book a session in the day or two after a hard effort.
You can book by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form. Call or WhatsApp Fiona on 07971 660127, or send an enquiry through the site, and she will confirm a time that fits around your training. Appointments run Monday to Saturday, including evenings.
Sports massage starts at £45 for 30 minutes, up to £80 for 90 minutes. A one-hour session at £60 is the most popular choice, and a course of six one-hour sessions is available for £300, saving £60. Payment is by cash, bank transfer or card.
Both can help, but they serve different purposes. A pre-event session tends to be lighter, focused on activation and mobility, while a post-event session is about recovery and easing muscle strain. Fiona tailors the approach to how close you are to your event.
Competitive athletes in heavy training often benefit from weekly or fortnightly sessions, while recreational athletes usually do well with fortnightly or monthly visits. If you are preparing for a specific event like a marathon, increasing frequency in the weeks before and after is advisable.
