Sophia Harley-O'Neill is a fully qualified sports massage therapist, who specialises in combat sport athletes.

Sophia has provided massage services for members of the British Sumo Federation both in and out of competition, as well as restorative massage for non-athletic clients.

Massage services are provided as an "at-home" or "event" service, where Sophia will come to you with all the required equipment to provide your therapy service.

As an active athlete herself, having competed in powerlifting and strongman competitions, and now training in a number of combat sports, Sophia understands the rigors of athletic training and the importance of an effective recovery strategy.

Sports massage offers a myriad of benefits for athletes that extend beyond mere relaxation. This specialized form of massage therapy is excellently suited to the unique needs of athletes and individuals engaged in rigorous physical activities.

Sports Massage enhances circulation, which aids in the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles, resulting in faster recovery and reduced muscle soreness. Additionally, sports massage can alleviate muscle tension and improve flexibility, thereby reducing the risk of injuries and playing a crucial role in improving an athlete's range of motion, allowing them to perform at their peak. 

Moreover, this therapy can alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting mental well-being and enhancing an athlete's overall performance. 

In essence, sports massage is an indispensable tool in an athlete's toolkit for maintaining optimal physical condition and achieving peak performance.

Sports massage isn't exclusive to athletes; it can offer a wealth of benefits to individuals from all walks of life!

For non-athletes, this form of massage therapy can be a remarkable tool for stress relief and relaxation. It helps to alleviate the tension that accumulates in our muscles due to the demands of modern life, be it from long hours at a desk or everyday physical strain. 

By promoting circulation and blood flow, it can also aid in reducing chronic pain and improving overall flexibility, making it an excellent choice for those dealing with conditions like arthritis or muscle stiffness. 

Beyond its physical advantages, sports massage can be a vital component of self-care, fostering mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety. It is an investment in health, and quality of life, helping individuals of all activity levels find rejuvenation and balance amidst the demands of their daily routines.
