💢Pain in the buttock and pain or tingling that can go down the back of the leg are very similar symptoms to sciatica but does not originate in the lumbar spine but deep within the buttock.

There's a deep muscle called the piriformis. It helps stabilise the hip, external rotation and abduction and extension of the hip.

The external rotators of the hip, including the piriformis, can cause irritation on the sciatic nerve, giving you lower back pain, glute pain or tingling/pain down the back of the leg.

This can happen when:
- Sitting too long,
- Over use over the muscle,
- Rapid increase of activity or training,
- Trauma to the muscle,

🙌 Personalised sport massage therapy can help by releasing muscle tension in and around the hip, improve flexibility of the muscle and increase joint mobility.

Therapy can get you moving and back to doing what you love! Running around with the kids, playing your favourite sport or simply getting through work so you don't have to take time off work due to back pain.

Get in touch now to book your first massage with a complimentary consultation!

📍 55 Westgate, Westgate Studios, WF1 1BW
⏰ 9am - 8pm

🎉Super excited to introduce Mobile Mondays!! 🎉

📅First dates are in November - 9th & 23rd. Times similar to normal working days for me 9am - 8pm but I wont be seeing as many people as I normally do at the studio.

All you need is space for my bed and a few towels to cover the table and yourself during the treatment.

Same with studio appointments, a consultation form will be sent to you and we'll go from there.

You can choose the music or program to have on in the background. My personal faves are friends, Heart radio or Doctor Who!

🐶I love animals and there might be a bit of time to say hello or goodbye but it is best to keep them away from the treatment area.

These appointments cant be booked online so drop me a message to get booked in to enjoy a sports massage in the comfort of your own home! 🏡

December dates are planned for 7th & 21st but keep an eye out as these might change.

🎁Christmas chocolates are out in the shops so here we are 😉 🎁

Send them an eGift Card, can be sent via text or email on a date of your choosing.

Just get the recipient to drop us a message to get booked in 👍

🎉What to Expect 🙌

If you have booked in at the studio at Westgate Studios on Westgate, you will head to the door just next to Popworld and behind the bus stop. It is important to drop me a message when you arrive so I can let you in.

I am on the 2nd floor. It is lift and has access to stairs if you are not a fan of lifts. Unfortunately, it is not fully accessible as there are a few steps behind the entrance.

🛻There is no parking onsite. I recommend heading to a council owned carpark where they offer 2 hrs free parking and is free after 6pm and on Sundays. I personally use the Unity House Car Park. Alternatively, there is a 6-minute walk from Westgate train station and a 7-minute walk from the bus station.

🏡If you book a mobile appointment, I will come to your house to perform the treatment. All I need is space to do the treatment and a few towels to cover the table and yourself. I will bring the rest.

You can choose the music or programme to have on in the background. My favourite options are Heart Radio, Friends or Doctor Who.

🐶As much as I love animals, can I recommend any pets to be out the way during the appointment.

⚠️ Mobile appointments are not available to book online yet. Please drop me a message to book in. ⚠️

💻 Before your first appointment there will be a consultation form to fill out online or we can fill a paper copy if you prefer. This will ask about medical history and how your lifestyle is. At you appointment we will go through this and find out why you are here and how I could help. I will then complete some special tests of movement that allows me to establish the possible cause of your problems and allows me to create a treatment plan specifically for you.

In the remaining time, I will give you a massage targeting your problem areas and understanding how your tissue reacts to the massage. 🙌

I offer single sessions of 60 & 90 minute appointments and 30 minutes if needed. If you like the sound of consistency, confidence in your body and build resilience to reduce the risk of injury and not wait for them to pop up when you are least expecting it, I offer packages of block bookings and a monthly subscription with a range of treatment options, discounts and PT advice!

I work on a 2 week schedule due to sharing childcare with my sons dad.
- Week One will be Mon-Sun: 9am - 8pm.
- Week Two will be Mon - Fri: 9am - 12:30pm.
Please check my online booking system for up to date appointment availability.

First payment is usually made online through the booking system then you can choose if you wish, to continue to book online or schedule appointments after your massage where cash or card is accepted.

I can help with problems with your back, knees, feet, hips or shoulders. Specific problems such as sciatica, plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfers elbow. Sport massage can also help with headaches, low moods or disrupted sleep. Just to name a few!!

So, I look forward to seeing you soon and thank you for choosing FT Sports Massage Therapy!

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping is an ancient therapy that has evolved over time. Thankfully, I'll be using modern plastic cups rather than animal horns and fire! 👍

The cups are placed on the skin and gentle suction is created, lifting the superficial layers of skin, fascia, and muscle. This helps encourage circulation, release tension, and support the body's natural healing process.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy:

🙌 Stimulates blood flow and supports healthy lymphatic drainage, helping to remove lactic acid and other waste products.

🙌 Helps break down scar tissue that may have formed from previous injuries.

🙌 Reduces muscle tension and softens tight muscle tissue.

🙌 Increases range of motion by lifting and stretching tissue, allowing the fascia to separate and move more freely.

🙌 Helps reduce localised inflammation and supports recovery.

🙌 Can be beneficial for upper and lower back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and plantar fasciitis.

Cupping draws fresh blood to the surface of the skin and may leave the distinctive circular marks often seen on athletes. These marks are completely normal and can take up to a week to fade.

I can incorporate cupping into your treatment and apply it to different areas of the body to help with a variety of conditions, including knee pain, upper and lower back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, and golfer's or tennis elbow, to name just a few.

Strong bodies are built in the little moments. 💪

Try adding a few tiny habits to your day to keep moving and strengthen the muscles we often forget about:

✅ Calf raises while waiting for the kettle to boil
✅ Calf stretches to maintain ankle mobility and reduce tightness
✅ Heel walks down the hallway to wake up your shins and ankles
✅ Wood chop body twists to keep your core and spine moving well
✅ Shoulder dislocations with a band or broomstick for healthy shoulder mobility

These movements only take seconds, but done consistently they can improve balance, mobility, posture, and overall strength.

You don't need an hour-long workout to make a difference. Tiny habits add up. Start with one movement today and let consistency do the rest.

Motion is lotion—keep moving! 💙
