Enhances Performance

Accelerate Recovery From Exercise
Sports massage helps to reduce soreness and fatigue, as well as increase circulation, thereby accelerating recovery from exercise.
Release Muscular Tension and Increase Circulation
Sports massage helps to break down adhesions and stimulate blood flow, thereby releasing muscular tension and increasing circulation.
Aids in Preventing Injuries

The Techniques of Sports Massage
Use cases of sports massage include pre-event massage, post-event massage, muscle energy techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and neuromuscular technique.
These are used to reduce pain and improve flexibility, balance and overall performance. Additionally, using specific hand strokes can help to increase circulation and oxygen flow in the muscles to aid in recovery.
Lastly, ice and heat therapies can be used to reduce inflammation, pain and stiffness.
All of these principles can be used to help athletes reach their peak performance.
How Sports Massage Benefits Desk Workers
Sports massage can be beneficial for desk workers by helping to reduce tension and stress in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. The massage techniques used can help to increase circulation which can bring oxygenated blood to tight muscles, thus reducing pain.
Sports massage can also help improve posture by loosening tight muscles that have been strained from sitting at a desk for long periods of time. The massage techniques used can also help to reduce mental fatigue and stress by releasing endorphins that promote relaxation.
All of these benefits can ultimately lead to improved productivity and wellbeing among desk workers.

Patient Experiences That Speak for Themselves
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Chris a few weeks about with a running gait appt. I’m glad I did, I got a bit lost over running and how to improve what plan to do etc. Chris looked at my running technique, listened to what I’m doing and looked at my Garmin results too. I walked away with a great running plan and have enjoyed starting it the last few weeks. Glad I booked the appt and got what I needed to improve running.Posted on Google aliceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful and painful but fingers crossed the treatment heals injury quickly.Posted on Google Zandra WestlakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had not exercised properly for several years and struggled with frequent back pain that once in spasm, persisted for 4-8 weeks each time. Enough was enough! I saw Chris regularly for 3 months and joined a gym. It’s now 8 months later and I’m still using what I learnt with Chris in the gym 4/5 days a week. His guidance inspired me to keep going. And I feel so much better. I deliberately held off writing a review until now so I could be honest on the genuine impact it’s had. I haven’t been to Forte or had any contact with them for 4 months and still felt compelled to write this review of their fantastic service! Occasionally, my back still does go into spasm BUT, it’ll be because I’ve slightly overdone it in the gym or been working in the garden all weekend. The best bit being, it now only lasts 1-2 days instead of weeks! I would highly recommend Forte to anyone with an injury, discomfort or needing a change!Posted on Google Ryan JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Am under the care of 'Ash' the physio, and can't thank her enough for how she is helping me with my condition. I have been treated and advised by her for three week now, and my pain symptoms are almost non-existent. She comes across as very professional and has an extremely pleasing manner. Very, very knowledgeable. Thank you Ash.Posted on Google Sid HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Welcoming, professional and caringPosted on Google Tonny HuttingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great initial session with Chris. He knew exactly what my issue was and how to fix it. He’s given me some good exercises to help too so very useful!Posted on Google Sam ShawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Chris with a bad back sprain which I got instant release from and came away with some exercises to help heal my back and hamstring. I felt I had an extensive examination with an excellent outcome. He understood my problem and gave me good instructions on how I can go back to the gym and care for my backPosted on Google Sandra SparrowhawkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going to see Chris for many years each time that I have injured myself. I fell backwards and injured my back last December. I saw Chris and, after a few weeks, he suggested that I saw Aishwarya, a physiotherapist who also does dry needling. I am back at the gym and am able to walk much further than I could initially. They are extremely knowledgeable, explain what they are doing and why and very friendly and polite. I would recommend Forte Physical Health highly.Posted on Google Margaret ParsonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and professional staff that really helped with a calf strain. There's on-site parking which is very handyPosted on Google Steve MacVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Private Health Insurance Covered
Osteopathy & Physiotherapy are often covered by private health insurance, but in some cases it is an additional element of the policy or you may need to get a referral from your GP or approval in advance. It is best to contact your insurer and ask about the details and process for your particular policy. We can invoice direct to the insurer if appropriate.
