SPORTS MASSAGE/ MASSAGE SERVICES
IN HUNGERFORD & NEWBURY

Whether you’re dealing with tight muscles, training aches, pregnancy-related discomfort, or recovery after injury or surgery, massage can be a powerful way to reduce pain, improve movement, and help you feel more like yourself again.

​

At Laura Fishlock Osteopathy, our massage treatments are tailored to you. We’ll listen to what’s going on, assess what your body needs, and use the right techniques for your goals — from deep, targeted work to gentler, soothing support.

​

Sports Massage

Sports massage is ideal if you train regularly, play sport, or feel like your body is constantly “tight” or overworked.

​

It focuses on muscles, tendons and fascia to help:

• Reduce muscle tension and soreness

• Improve flexibility and range of movement

• Support recovery between training sessions

• Address recurring niggles before they become injuries

• Help you move and perform more comfortably

​

You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit — sports massage is also great for desk workers, busy parents, and anyone with stubborn tension.

​

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage is a targeted, therapeutic approach designed to address specific pain patterns and muscular imbalances.

​

It can be helpful if you’re dealing with:

• Ongoing back, neck or shoulder tension

• Postural strain from desk work

• Headaches linked to muscle tightness

• Restricted movement or stiffness

• Recovery after a flare-up or injury

​

Remedial massage is often a great option if you want treatment that feels purposeful and results-focused, while still being supportive and calming.

​

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is a gentle, nurturing treatment designed to support your changing body.

​

Many people book pregnancy massage to help with:

• Lower back pain and pelvic discomfort

• Hip and glute tension

• Mid-back and rib tightness

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Swelling and general heaviness

• Sleep and relaxation

​

We’ll always work within your comfort, adapt positioning carefully, and tailor the pressure and techniques to what feels right for you.

​

If you’re unsure whether massage is suitable at your stage of pregnancy, just ask — we’re happy to advise.

​

Scar Tissue Recovery Massage

Scar tissue can sometimes lead to tightness, pulling, sensitivity, or restricted movement — even long after the skin has healed.

​

Scar tissue recovery work is a gentle, progressive approach that aims to improve the mobility and comfort of the tissues around a scar. It may help with:

• Tightness or “stuck” feeling around a scar

• Reduced range of movement

• Ongoing discomfort or sensitivity

• Tissue restriction after surgery or injury

​

Treatment is always tailored to your stage of healing and your symptoms, and we’ll guide you on simple self-care between sessions where appropriate.

​

What to expect at your massage appointment

Your session will include:

1. A quick chat and assessment — what’s been going on, what you’ve tried, and what you want to achieve

2. Hands-on treatment — tailored techniques based on your body and comfort

3. Practical advice — simple next steps to help you get better results (movement, hydration, recovery, self-care)
