Sports & Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue treatments are not just for Sports people, anyone can benefit. From those with physically demanding jobs, to more sedentary occupations where postural stress can cause aches and pains.
About
My name is Steve Sutton and I work as a Sports Massage Therapist for Clinic62.
After many years working in Sales, I decided that the time had come to finally pursue a career in the profession that I had genuine interest and real passion for. Giving up corporate life, I returned to college to retrain and now hold a VTCT Diploma in Sports Massage and have been working as a therapist for the last 6 years. I am a registered member of the Association of Soft Tissue Therapists (SMA), DBS checked and have full liability insurance.
Having played Rugby for over 20 years, I understand first-hand the benefits of regular massage and body maintenance. I firmly believe that anyone involved in regular sport at any level should include massage as part of their ongoing training and conditioning regime. Deep Tissue treatments are not just for sports people though, far from it. Anyone can benefit, especially people with physically demanding jobs, or occupations which involve long periods sitting at a desk where postural stress can cause aches, pains and play havoc with your body.
I currently work with a very wide range of clients. From elite level athletes, cyclists, hockey players, footballers and rugby players, to those in manual professions, office or more sedentary based roles as well as older individuals who just need some general body maintenance and a little help to keep mobile and active.
Regular massage has many benefits and can help towards improving general health and wellbeing. This can be physical and physiological. Deep tissue treatments are not just for Sports people, anyone can benefit. From those with physically demanding jobs, to more sedentary occupations where postural stress can cause aches and pains.

What is the difference between a
Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage?
There are many similarities and cross over between the two treatments. Sports massage is a more targeted treatment for recovery, conditioning and injury prevention that is more specific to sports, whereas deep tissue massage is possibly more holistic and more focused on chronic muscle tension and stress reduction.
There is a common misconception that Sports and Deep Tissue massage therapy is purely for the professional athlete, however this is not the case. Many athletes do reap the benefits of sports massage on a regular basis, but a deeper treatment can be equally as beneficial for those working in offices who have postural tension issues from sitting at a desk and keyboard all day or those working in manual professions where physical strain conditions can be very similar to those seen in a sporting environment.
Some of you may already incorporate massage into your routine, enjoying the benefits it can provide and understanding how it can really help performance, recovery and conditioning.
Active Sports people, will often go for a massage before and/or after a competition or an event. Both of these can be beneficial in both preparation and recovery.
