Sports Massage Serving Lamb Corner, Essex
Struggling to recover between training sessions, or feeling the same niggle flare up every time you push harder? Sports massage is one of the most effective ways to stay on top of a demanding training load, and Fiona welcomes clients from Lamb Corner to her Colchester clinic in Essex. Her approach combines deep tissue work, targeted stretching and trigger point techniques, all shaped around your sport.
Lamb Corner lies in Essex close to Ardleigh and Ardleigh Heath, and clients happy to travel in to Colchester find the journey well worth it for the level of care.
Sports massage draws on several techniques in one treatment. Fiona combines deep tissue work to reach the deeper muscle layers, targeted stretching to restore range of motion, and trigger point therapy to release the tight, referred-pain spots that build up under repetitive load. The blend is decided by what your body needs on the day, not by a set routine.

- 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
