Sports and deep tissue massage - 1hr appointment

Sports massage offers powerful benefits not just for athletes, but for anyone dealing with 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

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.

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.

About Leanne …

Hi, I’m Leanne, a qualified Sports Massage Therapist and the0wner of Shoreline Sports Massage based in Christchurch, Dorset, which opened in early 2025.

I hold Level 3 and Level 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. My aim is to help reduce pain and tension, restore movement, and support your body’s natural healing process.

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.

What matters most to me is listening. Every session is client-led, respectful, 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.
