Stroud Sports Massage & Injury Rehab

Despite being qualified as a ‘Sports Therapist’, in reality I treat a variety of individuals, from office workers and trades people to climbers and ultra runners. No matter what a person’s work or activity level it is common to experience stress, pain and injury. I am trained in both passive (soft tissue therapy) and active (rehab/strength & conditioning) approaches. I utilise these two different modalities to find effective resolutions for client's pain and/or optimally prepare their bodies for the activities they undertake. Sports/deep tissue massage is an effective tool for rapid pain relief, stress relief, better sleep and down regulation of the nervous system. It's an input that allows our bodies to feel better and thus recover from physical and psychological stresses more effectively. Thorough Soft Tissue Therapy treatment addressing main reason for attending and any areas relevant or influential to the main reason for attending. I will not just ‘rub the painful bit’ for a quick fix. I will attempt to identify anything relevant which may be contributing to your pain and also address those factors.  At Stroud Sports Massage & Injury Rehab my role is to guide and support clients on a path to confidence and trust in their bodies. Rehab is the start of a journey to physical resilience. It has relevance not just to athletes but to anyone who is injured or suffering with pain and discomfort. Via a graded exposure approach to persistent pain we can use resistance training to teach you and your nervous system to let go of fears about threatening movements and loading. Persistent pain begins to subside as function and movement confidence develops. Concise rehab/strength & conditioning/resistance training routine assigned. All exercises will be demonstrated by myself and practiced by you. We will take videos to ensure you have a resource to refer back to when carrying out the exercises on your own.  To book an appointment please leave a message via Voice Mail, Text Msg, WhatsApp or Email (I am not able to answer calls whilst working). Leave your details and I will contact you ASAP on the same day to discuss your requirements and organise treatment.

Highly recommend Olly to anyone. I had a knee injury that prevented me from running and long distance walks for about 4 months. Olly set a program for me that was very manageable to follow and checked in on my progress throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions I had with him, he taught me a lot about training and injuries and what I can do to prevent this from happening again in the future. I'm back to running again thanks to Olly.

Olly gave me a sports massage post marathon to iron out the niggles and it helped to get me back out running again as soon as possible. I also recommended Olly to my partner who has a knee problem and he has seen vast improvements. Very professional service and honest pricing.

As someone with various long term injuries I've seen a lot of specialists and Olly has been absolutely amazing. He is extremely professional and a highly skilled massage therapist who relieved several issues I'd been struggling with for years after just one session. His rehab training is also excellent and is helping me gain strength and reduce the risk of re-injury in future. I would highly recommend!

Olly is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had, and I had a lot. The biggest advantage is that he himself is a sportsmen, so he knows what muscule can hurt and therefore what needs to be relaxed. Hi is just brilliant! Many thanks, Olly for your talent 🤗
