ABOUT
I offer Sports Massage & Injury Rehabilitation in my private Steventon Clinic near Abingdon and Didcot. I'm currently completing my Level 5 Diploma in Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy with the Institute of Sports & Remedial Massage, the highest accreditation in this field. I also hold a BSc in Sports & Exercise Science & Psychology and have nearly 20 years coaching adult amateur athletes in Triathlon, Swimming & Open Water Swimming. I combine my personal experience competing in multiple sporting disciplines and my knowledge to offer a holistic approach to your niggles, pain and injury recovery. I offer postural and training advice as well as hands on treatment to help manage and recover from your symptoms in the long term.
All treatments follow a thorough consultation and physical assessment. We'll discuss what movements cause pain, whether you've tried using a physiotherapist or chiropractor before to help and how many sessions you need with me to make a full recovery.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sport massage treatment uses soft and deep tissue massage and muscle energy techniques to soothe training niggles and manage fatigue during training, pre or post event. Improve your flexibility and performance whether you exercise for fitness and leisure or you're a competitive athlete.
PAIN RELIEF & INJURY REHABILITATION
Assess the cause of your musculoskeletal injury and receive targeted treatment for short and long term relief of your symptoms. Simple strength and conditioning stretches and exercises are given you can do at home to further rehabilitate, similarly to what you might expect from a physiotherapist.
RELAXATION MASSAGE
A combination of soft and deep pressure to help you recover from the daily stresses affecting your body, whether you have recurring back, neck and shoulder pain from desk work or you just need a little self care and time out. Massage can relieve stress, improve your mood and boost your energy.
MYOFASCIAL CUPPING
Suction cups are applied on areas of musculoskeletal or fascial tension and moved over the surface in a gliding motion or left on for a short period of time to improve flexibility of chronically shortened tissues.
REVIEWS & FEEDBACK
5*
I would thoroughly recommend Annie for sports massage and general sports therapy. She is very knowledgeable about many aspects of therapy and also general fitness and training. I have had pre and post event massage on my legs and specific massage on a sore back and stiff shoulders, all very successful.

I had already seen a physio for a trapped redial nerve which had started to free but all the muscles in the shoulder were still in protection mode and very tight. Annie went to work on my shoulder injury and certainly helped relax the muscles and ease the pain. I would definitely recommend a visit to Annie to sort out all the injuries and niggles, and I will be back, But hopefully not to often :)

I had a 60 minute free consultation with Annie. She was very thorough, discussed the history of my foot injury and determined I could have mild plantar fasciitis. I’ve been unlucky to inherit wide feet and bunions! After pointing out the area of my feet weakness, I had a relaxing foot and calf massage. I’m pretty sure the treatment benefited my run the next morning. I look forward to seeing Annie again for my next session.
