Sports Life Work HQ

Our clients often tell us about their injury immediately, but for us, it’s important to see the whole picture - the cause might not be what you think. To help us work out what treatment will be best for your needs, our injury assessment sessions aim to find out what’s going on in your life or your sport. In these sessions we offer a whole body assessment and ask lots of questions. Everything from how you walk to your current state of mind can tell us a lot about how to get you moving properly again.
• Massage - we offer different massage techniques according to your injury, and provide both sports and lymphatic drainage massage

• Exercise planning - we’ll work with you to design an exercise routine to support your recovery, and we’ll review your progress regularly

• Strapping and taping - we use zinc oxide, kinesio and compression taping to aid participation, performance and recovery. Taping can be used to protect the joints, limit movement or support the muscles to work better or allow for relative resting whilst still keeping you moving

Our sports massage is designed to have long-lasting therapeutic effects. Using all of our experience, our massage techniques aim to loosen everything off, and smooth out all those knots, niggles and tight bits. We use sports massage to aid recovery but also to sort minor muscular problems before they become major.

With our injury prevention sessions (a series of 1 hour assessments and treatments), we take a big picture approach, which is particularly for elite or high performance sportspeople, or those who do sport regularly. As well as assessing your whole body we’ll want to know what might be causing wee niggles - it might be something as simple as a new mattress or a change in routine. We’ll work through a series of exercises with you watching how you move and behave, applying a bio-mechanical analysis to make recommendations for change and to help prevent injury.

Members and users of SLW gym facilities have priority access to our injury clinic for rehab, prehab and injury treatments.
