Supporting Recovery, Performance, and Everyday Movement
At Dorset Physio, we believe recovery is just as important as training — and that’s where sports massage plays a powerful role.
John offers sports massage therapy designed to support active bodies of all kinds, whether you’re a regular gym-goer, runner, paddler, manual worker, or simply feeling tight and uncomfortable from day-to-day life.
This isn’t pampering massage — it’s purposeful, clinical, and tailored to how your body moves.

⭐ Introductory Offer – 50% Off Until End of March
To welcome John to the clinic, sports massage sessions are currently 50% off until the end of March.
It’s a great opportunity to:
Try sports massage for the first time
Support recovery from training or work
Address long-standing tightness or niggles
Build regular recovery into your routine
(Limited-time offer — subject to availability.)
What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on muscle health, soft-tissue recovery, and movement efficiency. It helps to:
Reduce muscle tension and tightness
Improve circulation and tissue quality
Support recovery after exercise or injury
Maintain flexibility and joint movement
Reduce the risk of overuse injuries
Although commonly associated with sport, it’s just as effective for everyday aches, postural tension, or physically demanding jobs.
John’s Approach
John brings a calm, practical, and highly skilled approach to sports massage. He takes time to understand:
What you do day-to-day
Where you’re feeling restricted or sore
How your body is currently loading and compensating
Each session is individualised — pressure, techniques, and focus areas are adapted to your comfort level and goals.
Treatment may include:
Deep tissue techniques
Trigger point release
Myofascial work
Assisted stretching where appropriate
Effective, but never aggressive.
Who Can Benefit?
Sports massage with John is suitable for:
All sports people - e.g. Runners, gym users, sailors, cyclists, tennis players.
People returning to exercise after injury
Those with tight backs, necks, shoulders, hips or legs
Manual workers and physically demanding roles
Anyone feeling stiff, heavy, or restricted
You don’t need to be injured — many people use sports massage preventatively to stay comfortable and moving well.
How Sports Massage Fits with Physiotherapy
At Dorset Physio, sports massage often works alongside physiotherapy. It can:
Prepare tissues for rehabilitation exercises
Reduce muscle guarding and protective tension
Support long-term movement change
Improve confidence with movement
Where appropriate, John can liaise with the physio team to ensure care is joined-up and effective.
