Sports Massage treatments

Initial assessment

Your initial appointment is designed to give you the best possible care tailored to your body. This 1h15 appointment includes completion of client forms, medical history review, postural analysis, range-of-motion testing, a personalised treatment plan, and targeted sports massage treatment to support safe, effective recovery.

Sports massage - 1hr

Sports massage offers powerful benefits not just for athletes, but for anyone experiencing everyday aches, tension, or physical strain. It helps to reduce pain caused by tight muscles, repetitive movements, and the build-up of waste products in the tissues.

Using targeted, deeper techniques than a relaxation massage, sports massage works directly into the muscle and soft tissue layers to release tension, improve movement, and support the body’s natural healing process

Cupping

Dry cupping is a hands-on therapy that uses specially designed cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This negative pressure lifts the soft tissues, creating an upward stretch through the muscles and surrounding fascia. The lifting action helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, ease discomfort, and support the removal of waste products from the tissues.

Kinesiology taping

K-taping can be a valuable addition to your injury rehabilitation or massage, helping to support recovery and improve movement. It can also be booked as an add-on to your sports massage, particularly before an event, to provide extra support where it’s needed most.

The tape helps support muscles and joints, reduce discomfort, and provide a sense of stability and reassurance during activity, allowing you to move with greater confidence.

Pregnancy massage - COMING SOON

Comfort, relief and support throughout your pregnancy

Pregnancy places unique demands on the body. As your baby grows, changes in posture, weight distribution and hormones can lead to discomfort, muscle tension and aching joints.

Pregnancy massage is a gentle, tailored treatment designed to help relieve common pregnancy-related aches and pains while promoting relaxation and wellbeing. Each treatment is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and your individual needs, using safe positioning and techniques to ensure both your comfort and safety.

About Leanne …

I’m Leanne, a level 4 qualified Sports Massage Therapist and the owner of Shoreline Sports Massage based in Christchurch, Dorset.

Every session is client-led and focused on helping you feel more at ease in your body. I genuinely love what I do, I love people, and I love seeing the progress that comes as pain eases, confidence grows, and movement feels freer again.

I work with a wide range of people from athletes and busy professionals to those dealing with everyday aches and pains or longer-term discomfort. I also regularly support clients post-injury, working alongside referrals from physiotherapists and chiropractors to aid recovery and improve mobility.

I hold Active IQ Level 3 and 4 qualifications in Sports Massage Therapy, and I’m trained in cupping, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation) and kinesiology taping. My work combines both gentle, calming techniques and deeper, targeted treatment, always tailored to what your body needs on the day.

  • "Her communication which made me feel relaxed"

    “Leanne took time to discuss with me where I was experiencing pain and some restriction of movement. I found Leanne to be professional and warm in her communication which made me feel relaxed. I felt listened to throughout the assessment as Leanne checked in with me as she worked across different areas explaining what she was doing as she went. It was professional and thorough and I'm looking forward to our next session!”
