Sports Massage
Sports massage is a form of massage therapy tailored to athletes and physically active individuals. It focuses on preventing and treating injuries, improving performance, and speeding up recovery.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique designed to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It’s often used for chronic pain, tension, or restricted movement.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
This is a gentler technique that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system to remove excess fluid and toxins. It is often used to reduce swelling and support the immune system.

Couples Massage
Wouldn't it be great if you could get the right kind of massage at home when convenient to you?
At Motion Massage, I believe you can play an active role in your health and recovery. That's why I have devised a unique 90-minute session designed for partners or friends to learn skills. No lengthy course or complex theory. This is all about getting hands-on and developing practical skills you can use at home immediately.
Myofascial Release
This technique focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones and organs. It involves sustained pressure and stretching to release tension in the fascia.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is a therapeutic massage technique that uses a combination of long, flowing strokes, kneading, friction, and tapping to relax the body, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension. It is typically performed with massage oils or lotion to allow smooth, gliding movements over the skin.

How It Works
Motion Massage is my home-based massage sports and remedial massage service. With over 40 years' experience in health, fitness and well being, I can create a treatment specific to your sport or health requirements. As a fitness consultant and personal trainer, I can bring health and fitness to your door with a planned and creative workout tailored to your needs.
Evaluation
My initial assessment and diagnosis focuses on understanding your requirements and any soft tissue condition and needs to create a personalised massage treatment plan or personal training plan. The plan will address your specific goals and concerns. Additional health and fitness advice is offered if desired.
Treatment/Training
Each massage treatment is designed to optimise your health and well being. I combine a variety of techniques to accelerate healing and improve your overall well-being. A training session is designed to be progressive so that you can see and feel the progress you are making.
Progress
I track your progress closely and make necessary adjustments to your massage treatment to ensure that you achieve the best possible outcomes. The same approach is applied to a training session where safe exercise is a priority.
Client Testimonials
'Very professional. He takes his time to explain everything to you. Nice to have him in Great Park.'

'As a personal trainer & boxing coach, I put my body through a lot. I have regular massage from Peter to help with recovery. He recently noticed a lump on my foot and diagnosed it as plantar fibroma.
He changed the style of massage to deep pressure to help break it down. After a few weeks, it worked!
In addition to massage, he also provides good suggestions on how to prevent it returning... As well as other health & well-being advice.'

Peter correctly diagnosed my frozen shoulder, correctly advised that I should seek a cortisone injection and followed up with massage to alleviate symptoms and prepare the shoulder for full repair. Additionally, he has devised a fitness programme for me and I am now pain free!
