Questions, answered
Everything you might want to know before your first session. Still not sure? Just send me a message, I'm happy to help.
Which treatment should I book?
If you have one specific niggle and limited time, the 30-minute Quick Reset is ideal. For chronic tension or two to three areas, most people choose the 60-minute Deep Reset. For full-body recovery, book the 90-minute Complete Reset. Prefer something gentler? The Deep Calm and Cycle Support use lighter, soothing techniques. You can see them all on the sports massage page, or message me and I will point you to the right one.
Where are you based?
I treat clients from three clinics: Old School Jim’s in Wellington, Telford (Tuesday to Saturday), Salopia Health & Performance in Shrewsbury (Friday afternoons and select Saturdays), and Elements Fitness & Wellbeing in Stafford (Friday mornings and select Saturdays). Mobile massage in your own home is also available. See all clinic locations.
Do you offer mobile massage at home?
Yes. I can bring a treatment to the comfort of your own home. Mobile massage is charged at an additional £5 within Stafford and Shrewsbury; outside this area additional charges may apply. Use the enquiry form to arrange a time that suits you.
Is sports massage painful?
Sports massage can involve firm, focused pressure, and some areas may feel tender, but it should never be more than you are comfortable with. I check in with you throughout and adjust the pressure to suit you. If you would prefer a lighter, more relaxing treatment, The Deep Calm is a gentler option.
Can massage help with period pain?
Yes. The Cycle Support treatment is designed for exactly this. It uses gentle, nurturing techniques focused on the lower back and abdomen to ease cramps, lower-back tension and bloating, improve circulation, and help you feel more comfortable and grounded through your cycle.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. During treatment you will be professionally draped with towels at all times, with only the area being worked on exposed, so you stay warm and comfortable throughout. There is more on this in the first-session guide.
How do I book?
The quickest way is to book online: choose your treatment, location and time, and you are set. If you would like a mobile massage, or a slot that is not showing in the booking system, send me a message and I will be in touch.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule, so the time can be offered to someone else. Less than 48 hours’ notice may incur a 50% charge, and less than 24 hours’ notice or a missed appointment will be charged in full. Online bookings need a small non-refundable deposit to secure the slot. Full details are on the sickness and cancellation policy page.
Still have a question?
Send me a message and I'll get back to you, usually within a day or two.
