The Sports Clinic

Sports Massage and Injury Therapy for Reading and Newbury in Berkshire

My Sports Massage Clinic is in Ashampstead, Nr Pangbourne, which lies between Newbury and Reading in Berkshire.

Sports massage can play an important part in the life of any sportsman or woman whether they are injured or not.

You don’t have to be a sportsperson to feel the benefits!!!!

Muscle tension, stress and fatigue can affect anyone, it is not limited to athletes who regularly stretch their bodies to their physical limits, but almost everybody can benefit, a few examples are long distance lorry drivers who sit in the same position for long periods, gardeners who do a lot of bending, mothers of small children who are carrying excess weight on one hip, computer operators who find they get shoulder tension. Sports massage can be adapted to everyone.

Some other areas that Sports Massage is good for is
